My Letter To The ABC On 'Readers' Comments'


140209 My Letter To The ABC On 'Readers' Comments'


I just returned to viewing the ABC news web pages and roamed across the various branches, the Drum, but one, after becoming despondent and disgusted at the lack of available 'reader comments' to most articles.

A certain British-based, now global media outlet, recently opening offices in Australia, seems to be very popular here since, as apart from it addressing issues of political import and controversy the likes of mainstream ABC steer well clear of, it is, I suggest very popular with all sides of the 'political divide' here, for having ample space for readers to comment.

It's always been the bane of ABC readers/viewers to, even in this so-called 'interactive media' age, with the internet, that aunty has very few articles open for 'readers' comments.

And, I find, with the article, by an ex-Murdoch writer no less, about Ian McDonald, that 'comments for this article have closed' but two days after it was published, particularly 'weak'.

News and Current Affairs Media will, stand or fall, from now on, on it's modern ability and egalitarian want to enable readers'/watchers/listeners to respond, comment and give opinions, corrections and assessments, plus alternative viewpoints, backed by science and evidence, to whatever it publishes. [There will always be cheap and bigoted comments, but for the better ones, these surely should be tolerated by any media site, and it's readers?]

Many people in Australia know well how biased and censoring the ABC has always been - myself most definitely - and we know that the ABC, being funded by our offshore corporate 'government' of either stripe, is dangerously detrimental to 'Democratic media' and the supply of necessary information, regarding politics, etc, as farcical as 'politics' is here, thanks in large part to the biases broadcast by the ABC itself. 'Keeping the balance' are we, in partnership with Murdoch?

The ABC is sure to have funding cuts with this federal government, albeit that you, the ABC, are far more right wing, and thus, closer to the ideologies of this current form of 'pseudo-democratic' totalitarianism, than any Honest, REALPolitik opposition to the LNP.

As has been clear to myself for decades, the ABC exists to employ and promote inequality for the private-schooled, essentially catholic sectors, who actively work and are paid to go, against all True Democratic Government, of, "Of The People, By The People, and For The People!" And that, may well in fact, not opinion, be the Basis of True Communism!

So, regarding the heinously biased article about Ian McDonald, with unintelligent assumptions against the 'Communist Party', and indeed, the Labor Left, one is Duty bound, to Democratic and Egalitarian Politics of Equitable LAND DISTRIBUTION - globally, to condemn all facets of the ABC, while it plays to the ignorance of the current federal LNP government, merely so the catholics employed by yourselves, are not put out to do an honest days work!

And-a-HOHOHO to y'all!

NB: Please forward this to one Mr Philip 'ten thousand acres' Adams, and to the 'committed catholic', Geraldine Doogue?

I'm sure he and she'll get a laugh...
