( Me at my place )

Mike's Comments - 4/5/2014.

Subject: " Aussie ABC - Without bias or Agenda - Rubbish !!! "

People I have not long finished first of all watching/listening ( Sunday the 4/5/2014) on ABC (1) then listening to a repeat on Radio National where in my view I witnessed one of the most outrageously politically biased ABC programs - and that being the ABC Insiders hosted by the ABC's Fran Kelly who also hosts the ABC's Radio Nationals Breakfast Program - I have for a long time - and again in my view that is saying something considering the past and/or current history of the ABC's anti Conservative governments and very pro Labor and Greenies and this I believe is brought about because of their natural instinct of self preservation and their biases/agendas which rarely coincide with the ideals and philosophies of the conservative side of politics.

In my view - and I listened intently the second time around on the ABC Radio repeat - did Fran Kelly - put forward?espouse? highlight? positives? alternative reasoning to the Labor/Greenies onslaught?? in regard to the possible Abbott mobs forth coming budget and the good it might do for this great country of ours?

No NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE! NEGATIVE!!! - broken promises repeated to the point of ad nauseam!! the reason for PM Abbott not going to Indonesia and the negative effect that will have - guess work on her part!! attempt to make the news - an ABC philosophy ofcourse - not report it!! and it just went on and on - especially when interviewing - or should I say interrogating - the Liberal Christopher Pyne!

I kept thinking come on Fran Kelly you are supposed to be an experience - seen it all - unbiased political journalist?? but nope Fran Kelly in my view just kept up her - and obviously the producers of the ABC's Insiders show - negative agenda!!!

The Insiders also ran many ? I am not sure of the real name ? voice over's during the show depicting PM Abbott as some bumbling pollie making a lot of excuses? being unsure of himself? but on the other hand depicting the Opposition Leader Bill Shorten and our stern faced school teacher Greenie Senator Milne as the dominant pollies defending the workers/peoples rights!! with Milne demanding that we get rid of the Liberal/Nationals at the next election?? maybe the stern faced Milne that appears daily in our media - especially the ABC!! - telling the majority of us that did not vote Greenie - you know people the other 92%of us!! what to do with our lives!! she - Milne - and the other Greenies would like to fulfill poor old Bob Browns impossible dream of forming government one day and taking over the treasury benches??

Oh dear people can you imagine it??? look at the mess Labor and the Greenies did for the (6) years prior to the last federal election in 2013 - although something Fran Kelly believes - it would appear? - is not all Labor/Greenies fault because Fran Kelly mentioned during the Insiders that the Abbott mob gave (9) billion to the Central Bank?? however ? maybe Fran Kelly does not realise that the Central Bank is not a private bank!! and the Central Bank is accountable to the government in power on the day hence it was not given to the Central Bank it was just transferred !! it still remains Aussie tax payer funds and as such the Central Bank can be called upon by the government to pay dividends from their net profits to Treasury!

? Maybe that just slipped Fran Kelly's mind in the heat of the moment along with any other positives that may be derived from the possible budget - I say possible because not even the very political influential Fran Kelly ? well from her actions on the Insiders today it would appear Fran Kelly believes she is?? would know what is in the budget papers chapter and verse at this stage it is purely conjecture on Fran Kelly's part as it is with all the other so-called expert political insiders and from my decades of experience of national budgets in most cases they are so wrong it is laughable!! it is just something/waffle to fill media columns and pad out TV programs like the Insiders and many others.

In my view as a regular listener - ABC Radio/National - and viewer of the various ABC TV channels I was appalled by what can only be classified as a totally pro Labor/Greenie coverage the ABC gave to the Western Australian Senate election last April where I constantly heard/viewed the likes of the Greenies - Scott Ludlam, Rachel Siewert and their stern faced teacher like leader Christine Milne and also the Opposition Labor Leader Bill Shorten - for all the good it did him?? and their negative fear campaigns as compared to the Libs/Nats/Palmer Party and others which by their absence was very noticeable!!

I don't want anyone to get the impression that I am anti the ABC?? far from it!! apart from tuning in to the 6pm NBN Tamworth TV nightly news I rarely watch/listen to any other TV/Radio station at any other part of a 24 hour cycle!!

It is only when a tax payer funded organisation like the ABC - to the tune of billions - uses those hard earned/scarce funds with an obvious agenda - we listeners have well tuned ears and long memories - to promote/generate interest whether politically,socially and/or in any other way or for whatever reason in a biased manner then unlike the commercial channels we tax payers as the ABC sponsors have every right to voice our opinion and to take it further if the management/staff decide to thumb their collective noses at us.

Ok people speak up because without us the likes of the ABC in it's present form would not exist however if you are prepared to cop this biased rubbish then good on yeah you deserve all you get so don't whinge!!
