Who would have possibly guessed the ABC would appoint
another lefty sympathiser to the role of host of Media Watch?
I think it’s a given over 50% of the voting public would
count themselves as conservative. Less
than 40%, probably count themselves as of the Left. That figure may be less.
With
the recycling of Paul Barry as host of Media Watch, we can surmise ABC
management has little or no respect for over 50% of Australians who may – or
may not watch ABC television.
Many solid ABC supporters such as myself, have been driven
away from the public broadcaster (we are required to sponsor) over the years
because of obvious bias to the left, lack of balance, ongoing group-think and
an appalling disregard for the views of over 50% of the population.
It is time to give the ABC Board members a good dressing
down, I think.
The ABC Board
