In recent times, the ABC has descended into an intolerant, anti- Australian, biased organisation devoted to spreading Leftist views, despite legislation and a civic duty requiring otherwise.
Because of these harmful trends, the ABC’s funding of $1 000 000 000 per annum ought to be eliminated, to inflict irreversible institutional damage extending beyond the current Liberal government’s reign in power.
To those who have sentimental attachments to the ABC, this might seem unnecessary, or even extreme.
Nevertheless, I urge all readers whether supportive, opposed, or ambivalent about the network, to ponder the ABC’s relentlessly biased coverage of President Trump and his foreign policy towards North Korea.
In February 2017 the ABC hosted Richard J. Evans on Late Night Live, and explained there were ‘many similarities’ between President Trump and Adolf Hitler. One can likewise recall critical commentary after President Trump threatened ‘fire and fury’ upon North Korea in August 2017. At that time, nuclear war between North Korea and the United States was considered a potential ‘catastrophe’.
But after President Trump met with Kim Jong-un 2 weeks ago, and took meaningful steps towards peace, the ABC’s Trump Derangement Syndrome fully reared its ugly head.
As of June 2018, no longer was Trump considered a reckless, bloodthirsty dictator. Instead Trump was branded an ignorant, dangerous appeaser. More specifically, the ABC warned Trump’s Singapore Summit echoed the appeasement policy Neville Chamberlain pursued with Hitler’s Germany, prior to World War Two.
Besides from the sheer historical ineptitude of comparing a man who invaded Eastern Europe (Adolf Hitler), to one who has demonstrated zero ambitions or ability to invade neighbouring countries (Kim Jong-un), the Trump-Hitler/ Trump-Chamberlain comparisons are patently incoherent.
For only an organisation severely inflicted with Trump Derangement Syndrome, could possible make comparisons between both Trump and a man known for military aggression, and a man infamously remembered for his cowardice. In publishing these utterly contradictory views about President Trump, the ABC is closer to emulating Maoist propaganda than achieving their vision as “Australia’s most trusted and creative media organisation.”
Amidst this distorted, one-sided coverage, one might ask: what do ABC political analysts truly want: Would they prefer nuclear war, or meaningful US cooperation with a less than democratic regime?
Regardless of their opinions on this matter, we can be certain of one thing: the ABC will continue conducting mental gymnastics when analysing President Trump, to satiate their interminable addiction to anti-Trumpism. No matter what policies President Trump pursues, the ABC will continually find new ways to criticise him.
Australians deserve a better national broadcaster than this unbalanced, prejudiced analysis, to say the least.
I know that here in the States our news stations are all skewed. Here, Fox News is ‘far right’ where Trump and the Republicans can do no wrong, all of the others are far left ‘Democratic leaning’ and on them Trump and the Republicans can do nothing right. What most of us/the people want is simple right down the center truth, with no spin. Yet this is something that the owners of the News Agencies are not about to put on the Air.
That’s right. Probably never before has so much power been held in the hands of so few. As for the News Agencies, it is difficult to define what the entire truth is. It will always be told from one perspective and I believe it virtually impossible to construct an entirely objective, impartial assessment of events. Moreover, which combination of cultural, national, ethnic, religious or ideological perspectives will it take to construct a state of neutrality from which to report the news?
It’s beyond bias. That is putting it mildly. It’s institutional ideology.
It’s also incredibly wreckless, disrespectful and highly unprofessional.
After that it is schizophrenic and paranoid, and likely part of a Globlist scheme. Sorry Aussies but our ABC has disappeared faster than you can say 1,2,3.
I’m of the conclusion that while Trump supporters are happy, positive and sleeping well, the International Left is going insane right in front of our eyes. Prepare for the worst. Be a safe harbour for awakening citizens.
Isn’t it interesting that the media has the same tack throughout the West. Scuse my ignorance, but I’m not sure if you people down under consider yourselves part of the West.
No absolutely, that’s a fair question. We might not be ‘the West’ in a geographic sense. But because Europeans colonized Australia, built its institutions, and remain the dominant ethnic group, both Australia and the world tends to see itself as part of ‘the West’. This is likely to remain the case for many years to come. I would also say that New Zealand is in a similar category. However, as Asian migrants are continuing to replace old stock Australians, Australia may soon be considered as much a part of Asia as it is the West. Just as America is losing its Western heritage and becoming more Hispanic with each year.
