Can I suggest that since the ABC is acknowledging that News Corp are "agenda driven" in attacking the ABC, that they acknowledge News Corp is "agenda driven" on everything, and therefore the ABC should not amplify News Corp's political agenda and platform their staff? www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02... - ThreadSky

Which gives more credence to the question of why the ALP have done all they can to shut down any sort of investigation or review or ministerial oversight into this blatantly obvious capitulation to the murdoch empire.

Why?

They have a 500,000 petition and a mandate.

WHY ??

When it is actually actively hurting them.

They have the power to stop the lies and bullying but choose not to.

WHY ??

This baffles me too not only is it against Labor's iterests to reform media, it's against Australia's. It's against democracy to allow our media owned by 2 or 3 billionaires to drive their self interest and propaganda. Reform should have been priority 1 from the start

It’s beyond baffling.

treacy.bsky.social•5 days ago

It infuriates me.

Not a dictatorship, imagine the shit fight about a Government interfering with the media. Those that you wish to interfere with would win that fight as they do everyday. It's not capitulation, it's a silly comment made by many

They can keep meeting with the Murdochs to negotiate the political agenda - & it ain’t gonna help them!! Murdoch’s will still try to destroy them. ALP don’t get that.

They shd hv used this term to reform media, Truth in Pol advertising, gov transparency; donors.
*That’s* what could hv helped them!

Peak stupid #ABC today "Ros" asked Tom Crowley "What will the Opposition say about interest rates?" He then detailed 3 possible things they MIGHT say, in detail! He should have said "Last week Dutton said we should have a RATE HIKE. #KimWilliams

100%. Just today re RBA rate cuts Ros asked TomCrowley "What would the Opposition say?" 😡And he rattled off in detail, about 3 different things they might say! 😡 This is peak stupid and unacceptable. He should have answered that last week Dutton called for a RATE HIKE . #ABC

Not going to happen. They only make these tepid little pushbacks to make it ever so slightly less obvious that NewsCorpse's agenda and theirs are in lockstep.

I can't separate the 2

That would make sense Victoria. But seeing that many positions in the newsrooms etc are now occupied by former Murdoch employees that appear to be carrying on a Sky-like agenda, why would we expect it to be the ABC that we used to love?
We want 'without fear or favour', but we're not getting it.

Don't believe anything he says. Hasn't done anything good yet. Another stupid pick.

🤔Media Political Operatives. Tow the LNP Line or you won't be employed. LNP told the ABC, Don't bite the hand that feeds you or you'll have no place to be employed. LNP stacked the ABC with their operatives to control the political narrative. No longer in power yet they Still have the media control.

When ABC Management talks about Newscorp, it is just saying what it thinks we want to hear - they have no intention of distancing the ABC from Newscorp because they get too many free (bullshit) stories from the Newscorp ticker-tape feed.

chrispomfret.bsky.social•5 days ago

NewsCorp just got busted by Media Watch for setting up a vile Antisemitism stunt to create content.

The ABC needs to go hard in this type of attack and sack a bunch of people who frequently support NewsCorps agendas. Including guests on Insiders.

Seems like a reasonable conclusion, which pretty much guarantees it won't happen, alas.

Exactly

Murdoch’s ongoing terrorist attacks on our democracy by stealth must be stopped. Why do we continue to accept our shitful lot at the hands of the world’s most evil, destructive individual?
