Media Watch - Bolt Applies For The Job!

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.

Dr. Karl's Credibility Splashes Into The Gutter

I seriously wonder what other scientific 'facts'  Dr. Karl Kruszelnicki has stuffed up during his regular ABC appearances?  I used to listen to this man and take as credible whatever Dr. Karl had to say.  Not any longer, I can assure you.  I have departed the lounge of the gullible.

Andrew Bolt is nailing this so-called Scientist to the wall and it’s not pretty and likely to end in tears –  those emanating from this once respected science commentator.

The global warming misinformation peddled on the ABC must cease and I support Mr. Bolt’s call to register complaints in relation to Karl Kruszelnicki’s latest bout of deliberate denial of the facts or, worse, his complete ineptitude, in relation to recent statements made on Brisbane ABC radio. 

How in the hell are people expected to be kept up to date with the changes and corrections to previously cited global warming data, if the ABC refuses to accurately cover the subject?

The ABC should know better.  Obviously, it has no intention to correct itself or its presenters.  To allow this so-called scientific expert to repeat ad-nauseam, misinformation is culpable conduct on behalf of the public broadcaster sponsored by the taxpayer.  The ABC may as well tear up its Code of Practice.  It’s not adhered to so the document is useless.

I cannot believe I am witnessing this.  The overall dumbing down and then the deliberate concealment of important and relevant information because it doesn’t gel with the group-think mentality rampant within the ABC.

If you had asked me ten years ago how I’d feel if the ABC was sold off, I would probably have reached behind the Ute seat and whipped out my rifle.  Ask me now and I will say ‘sell the Green/Labor mouthpiece off as soon as possible and save the taxpayer billions’.  Thank you, Dr. Karl – you’ve just reinforced my position.

When in government, the Coalition must bring this disgracefully biased media outlet to heel.
