      Agree, this comment section is an absolute dumpster fire and has been turned into some political nonsense. At the end of the day it is a free subscription that works on a number of websites that have content about a whole range of things that have nothing to do with politics, such as sport, travel, food, health… unless that is all propaganda too.

      "reee murdoch" is getting a bit tiring on social media, also amazing that it seems everyone on social media has memorized every Murdoch related organization so they can comment about how evil it is every time it comes up.

    Still, better than Sky :)

    Seriously. I'm OK with ABCs election coverage, but some other issues are very lacking in balance, such as relating to disadvantaged minorities and other "victims", and benefit from wider reading. It's also good to hear what the conservatives are thinking on things like climate change, even if I don't agree.

      They're actually still trying to prevent action on it by trying to get a government that doesn't take any real action re-elected. Their position is largely pandering to younger readers. Newscorp is still supportive of their advertiser's agendas.

      I personally wouldn't even call them conservative with conservative values just being a hook to trick people into supporting their corporate agenda.

      They are unashamedly biased towards the LNP, excuse their rorts and scandals, actively biased against Greens and ALP. They are putting their own business interests first and are in the pockets with the LNP.

        Yeah but its a free country. There are no unbiased media outlets in the country. In fact almost every single major media outlet apart from the Murdoch-owned ones are actively biased towards the Greens and ALP. The 2019 election night coverage on the ABC was hilarious. Watching them all start of jubilant when they thought Bill Shorten was going to win, then gradually growing more and more forlorn as the night went on, until when ScoMo declared victory and it was like wake there.

        ABC is so far left they are to the left of Labor, and only ever view everything from the green-left perspective. Which is fine - but they should be privatised if they're not going to be unbiased.

        • ihfree on 19/05/2022 - 10:21
          +9

          Thanks for your reply… This is however the complete opposite of studies on the matter which show that all media is right biased. The ABC in particular are under more scrutiny than any other media organisation. Through Liberal party actions, the board has been stacked with pro-LNP members, had funding cut. As I have watched a bit of Sky, they are the only ones yelling loudly(as far as I am aware) about this. Newscorp has an interesting history in that it was founded to control and manage dissent of workers - it's well worth having a look into it.

          Watching them all start of jubilant when they thought Bill Shorten was going to win, then gradually growing more and more forlorn as the night went on, until when ScoMo declared victory and it was like wake there.

          The polls were wrong. The Australian public was told for months it would be a Labor win. Other than what you saw on TV, i'm sure the reaction in the general public was a lot more balanced. If you want to talk about the right, look at the reaction from the right in the US - storming the capital.

          Well said Gamer.
          ABC should be defunded and made to go private. I am from Melbourne and the 774 ABC radio station is so blatantly biased towards the ALP ( Hello Virginia Trioli and Raf Epstein) they might as well wear ALP T shirts as part of their work uniforms.

          Although I dislike Scomo, in a way i want him to win , just to witness the meltdown reactions from the ABC and the lefties.

          Please provide literally one iota of evidence that the ABC is pro-Labor.

          They are run and funded by the LNP. The majority of the board and chief political editors are ex-Murdoch hacks.

          The ABC have literally been caught flying the LNPs colours in their election coverage.

        Hi Placard, no different from the ABC , and Guardian paper who are blatantly biased towards the left side of politics. The worst thing about the ABC is that it is funded by taxpayers and it is supposed to be unbiased.

        • placard on 19/05/2022 - 10:29
          +8

          People keep repeating this line, but there's no evidence of this. The LNP has tried numerous times to attack the ABC through reducing their funding, setting up investigations that don't conclude there is bias.

          Yet the LNP will still say they are.

          When you get the likes of Sky news and Murdoch so far to the right, everything else 'appears' left wing, when in fact it's sitting centre-ish.

          The LNP will not be happy with the ABC unless they start carrying on like Sky News, who froth over everything LNP and poo-poo everything else.
