Oh – this should be good!
Andrew Bolt’s Application to Mark Scott (ABC Managing
Director) to host the ABC’s chronically leftarded Media Watch can
be found here:
Mr. Bolt rightly points out: “Watch devoted
to detecting such media sins as bias and group-think, not once has it had a
host not of the Left.
How worried you must
be that its eighth host will be from the same cookie-cutter that’s given us
Stuart Littlemore, Richard Ackland, Paul Barry, David Marr, Liz Jackson, Monica
Attard and Holmes”.
And
“As your own Equity and Diversity Annual Report says:
“The ABC Charter
requires the broadcasting of programs that ... reflect the cultural diversity
of the Australian community. ABC Editorial Policies support the diversity of
perspectives.” “
I cannot wait to find out who the ABC appoints as its new Media
Watch host; whether the taxpayer will be respected, provided value for money
and whether the ABC is prepared to actually promote and encourage balance. Should the ABC selected another biased host,
then an Abbott Government has to take a stand, regardless of what Opposition
Communications Minister, Malcolm Turnbull thinks – or says! Mr. Turnbull, apparently, seems pretty keen
to maintain the status quo with regard to the ABC. I remain unimpressed with Mr. Turnbull’s attitude.
It’s time.
