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.

just like the bbc

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
