Don't be silly, do you post simply in an attempt to points score?That is really clutching at straws
It is right up there with the argument for public funding of the ballet because Australians are so uncultured and thus won't pay for it.
Of coure actors would be against it. It would take their snouts out of the trough.
Where have I said that I did?PBN, you don't actually think ALL state funded tv stations around the world are fair and balanced do you?
Where have I said that I did?
The worst examples though IMO, are often biased towards the state, ideological bias is more a bi-product (see Chinese state media). This also usually corresponds with a lack of press freedoms, a corrupt political regime and lack of genuine internal private competition (though this is simply my opinion).
I have not seen them all though (and know of no empirical system of measurement), which allows me to comment/prove either way on an absolute basis.
That does not stop me from contradicting or challenging meds claim.
I have provided several logical reasons, the only argument you have is in regards to taxes (personal property).
Anyway what the ABC is supposed to provide is a balanced viewpoint or one with minimal bias.

Ah ok, kewl was not meant to appear hostile.I wasn't meant to imply that you said it.
It was more in reference to saying 'The ABC is answerable to the public' which I don't think could necessarily always be true.
They are answerable to the public as much as the public makes an issue out of something, which in turn impacts upon certain politicians/political parties.
lolwut?Several? You have education and that is it.
And it fails miserably.
It is not being silly. They are rent seeking, just as they do re local content laws.
Are actors are more important than auto workers? Any more important that all the other trade exposed industries in Australia?
It is a very, very big call to say that, however that is in effect what they are arguing.
That they are so vital to Australia they must be protected via a publicly funded broadcaster and restrictions on commercial channels.
Silly?
Absolutely.
Hahahahahaha.How has that worked with respect to the Melbourne and Sydney transport systems? That effects far more. The ABC may be indirectly held accountable by taxpayers but how many will change their vote due to it? Given their ratings I dont think it is a huge issue for most.
They are two completely different and dare I say it incomparable sectors, so a pretty silly argument on your part.
The ABC's industry is one which deals directly with public issues/opinions, therefore it is far more susceptible to them.
Sorry, the communication of public issues/opinions.It is exactly the same argument.
And the public dont deal directly with public transport?
I have never been unemployed. Should I therefore be forced to pay for people on Newstart? I have 2 preschool aged children and have never used childcare should I be forced to subsidise other people to have their children raised by strangers so that they can have a bigger house, newer car and go on a holiday? Should single people be forced to subsidise families?
No, a fail is what happens when you use JJJ as a great example of anything.Or JJJ is another great example, you know you are doing something right when a new commercial station (Nova anyone?) comes along and builds a business model on JJJ's successes and poaches artists (Hilltip Hoods?) for their playlists!
God you fail at everything meds!
Yet we are. And people are happy to vote for it. Life's still great.No, you should not be forced to do any of that.

There was a right wing commentator on 774 ABC Melbourne this morning slagging off Obama and his policies.
Don't tell meds!!!~!
Everyman for himself is bullshit and you don't really want to live that way. If I'm wrong, prove it and move to Haiti.
