this is further proof if any was needed that the national broadcaster is in league with the pink side of politics......it's an absolute disgrace and i dont want my taxes paying for this blatant political bias!!!

Listeners to ABC 936 in Hobart were chilling out to Jet's tune Look What You've Done during the Tim Cox program yesterday morning, when the song suddenly dropped from the airways and a familiar voice was heard to remark: "I tell you what I do know – this country is doomed for the next three years; absolutely doomed!" It was quickly back to Jet before Cox introduced his next guest, ABC sport commentator Ross Solly, on the line from Canberra. An obviously embarrassed Solly tried to suggest his reference to three years of doom was a jibe at Coxie's tenure on Tassie's prime radio show.

It doesn't bother me. But I do have to laugh how lefties complain that everyone is been brainwashed by those biased people at the commercial stations when the ABC is clearly the most biased station of the lot.

I do believe JJJ is an abc product and their constant bagging/whingeing of anything Howard/Liberal/US/non left wing gets annoing. You can't go five minutes without them putting across their biased left wing views.

Luckily I'm a channel flicker because it's really annoying to listen to politically opinionated people on the radio. I just want to hear someone crack a few jokes and talk about stuff without their political slant coming into everytime. Wil Anderson is self righteous tosser who doesn't seem to be aware that some of his listeners don't share all of his one sided views.

Commercial radio/tv equals right wing view.

Government run radio/tv equals left wing view.

Same thing happens all over the world. You will get used to it.

If you read what I said, you would have known that this is exactly what I have said. I just pointed out to the lefties of this board who are forever complaining about the right wing biased media that the ABC is just as (if no more) biased towards the left wing.

You will get used to it.
What ever gave you the impression that I wasn't aware and wasn't used to it? My opening statement was that I don't have a problem with it. JJJ sh it me in that they constantly harp on about it just as Alan Jones sh its me because he doesn't shut up about his biased and bigoted views either.

i cant agree with that, just look at some of the stuff on commercial media that always give it to our johnnie.....

the panel ch10
rove ch10
fairfax press

read some of the hilarious garbage pumped out by moonbats like alan ramsey, maggot kingston, phil adams, etc to see that the commercial media is not pro howard. you get a greater diversity of opinion in most commercial media, with a few exceptions, than with the abc & sbs.

as taxpayer funded institutions, public media should present both sides of the debate and allow for all opinions. this is where the abc has fallen down badly and lost all credibility.

Our Jonnie... Not mine, and if he was mine, I'd put him down and throw him to the sharks for bait.

As for Rove, the Panel etc etc.. I wasn't aware that political satire was a relativley new creation?

As opposed to consumer funded institutions, which should just tell you what they're paid to?

Ever noticed how conservative politicians often favour cutting the ABC back? Remember that dipstick who suggested selling off the ABC's web sites during the dot-com boom? No wonder the ABC put the boot in. Any other station that was constantly under threat from the government would come out with both guns blazing. The ABC is no different. Fortunately for the commercial stations their reach means they can grab cosy deals like locking competitors out of the digital spectrum in return for favourable coverage.

Any enterprise that is made up of people earning money from that enterprise will favour other bodies (in this case political parties) that support it. The range of stations available hopefully means that you'll get, overall, a balanced view. Of course, the commercial stations would prefer to limit choice and own any new licenses that come on the market or, better still, for no new licenses to be issued.

While the conservatives are idealogically opposed to the existence of the ABC, the ABC will be anti-conservative.

Don't worry agitator now that the Libs have effective control of the upper house a public broadcaster will be a distant memory by the end of this term of Government - and it will be flogged to those bastians of fair and accurate reporting in the Murdoch or Packer organisation.

One of the greatest things about this country is that we can have a government owned broadcaster that isn't frightened to criticise the government of the day. Not many places in the world where that can happen.

Although I do wonder for how long though. There have been efforts in the past to cut more funding from the ABC, is there much of a future for JJJ when conservative politicians have been open in their dislike of that station?

Can you really blame them? JJJ is a youth station. John Howard has refused to do any interviews with the station and he clearly has no interest in engaging the young people of Australia. Of course he is going to be bagged. That collection of 20 or so John Howard 'refusals for interviews' they played was comedy gold.

what these programs pump out is not political satire, it's pure unadulterated. bilious, putrifying, maggot infested, childish, undergraduate hatred for our johnnie.

there is no satire involved, no sophisticated comedy involved just purile, malevolent and personal dislike for our johnnie......and you can through the glass house into that lot.

well i'm not sure about that, it's a rather broad generalisation.

there are many librarians who enjoy a bit of man meat.

Very true. The ABC in the 80s and early 90s was fairly anti-Labor at times. There's no doubt there is a left wing bias to the ABC at the moment, but given there is a definite right wing bias to a majority of the remainder of the media, that isn't exactly exceptional; any quality journalists/commentators with known left wing views will find it much more difficult to get positions in the mainstream commercial media. Thus they are the best available people for the ABC.

Interestingly, both sides of politics in WA have had former ABC staffers stand in parliament. Alan Carpenter (former WA 7.30 Report host) is the current Labor member for Willagee in the State parliament, while Eoin Cameron left 720s breakfast show to stand as a Liberal for the Federal seat of Stirling (which he won). Notably after he lost his seat again, he returned to the ABC for a while before moving to commercial radio.

Ah yes, Triple J. I listen to quite a bit of Triple J, and yes, at times it has a left wing bias that makes Kerry O'Brien look like Andrew Bolt. However if anything I would have said it tends to Green politics more than anything else, which is not really a shock given its core demographic.

As for whether it can survive the Howard government, well that will be interesting. Certainly I would not be surprised if the Government gags its non-musical side.

They won't do that because they know it will have no effect. They have already conceded the youth vote. They know 18-25 are only a very small minority of voters.

The sensible political discourse of the 7.30 Report and Lateline versus the grubby trash of Today Tonight and A Current Affair...

The world picture that SBS news brings us or the myopic rubbish of Channel Nine and Seven news...

I know what I'd rather watch. Long live publicly funded television.

Excellent comment for a Cows supporter. If you want to see truly biased news, watch FoxNews on Foxtel, of course, channell 35. It is the most unbelievable thing you will see. They praise everything Bush does, even when he is blown away in the presidential debates, and crucify Kerry. It is so bad there is a new doco being released, can't remember what it is called, about how American news broadcasting is going away from the truth, and towards opinion pieces. Scary stuff.

Well given the ratings you are one of a minority. On a list of the 100 most wasteful items of govt expenditure SBS would have to make the top 3. Just another example of the govt stealing money off tax payers to feed the multicultural industry. If Howard was half the conservative you people think he is then he should make the place commercial tomorrow and let it sink or swim.
