The ABC is the worst imo because they claim to be fair and balanced, but aren't
Other news stations are clear about their slant so you know beforehand
Almost everyone thinks they are unbiased.
Tell that to Tony Abbott
Does he think he's biased?
It's really hard to be unbias
Tony got fucked by the ABC repeatedly
Sure.
Probably.
The Australian was probably sympathetic to him/
They pushed Julia Gillard's supposed achievement of being a female pm
The key is balance.
Fuck i hate all that shit
"i'm the first lesbian gay underwater lobster to be a CEO"
But it's true, a taxpayer funded media should be a fair reflection of the taxpayers.
And ABC is not that.
It wasn't always so bad.
Fuck the ABC govt shouldn't pay for media
Independent stations at least reflect something because they have to appeal to a demographic to make money
The argument is that it is a media outside of financial influence. It is independent, and for the people.
lol
Just like unions are "for the people"
Until the guy at the top decides fuck y'all
But the march through the institutions means it's been corrupted.
I've been well-represented by unions in OZ my whole life.
ABC is exclusive inner city liberal type shit
Much better than in other places.
But again, yes, corruption exists.
Well in 2012 l;ike 3 unions went down for massive corruption
Labor candidates in NSW in kahoots with them
The problem isn't the institutions themselves.
Eddie Obeid was the big one
It is the corruptionof them.
Sure.
I mean the problem with communism is that if it worked it would be great but it doesn't because it can be perverted
you gotta make the system so it cannot be corrupted
not the other way around
Yeah most unions seem to run for profit in my experiences
That seems to be just as utopian as communism.
unions are security valves, when's the last time you saw an union really get to the bottom of an issue instead of faking outrage only to be satisfied with breadcrumbs
