Hi Geodie,

Are you able to explain? We cannot access ABC, its served via USA-Akamai-based servers.

Media = #boughtAndPaidFor by the #technoFeudalists, yes.

Apparently Goog, MicroShaft, ScAmazon and FApple #ads on almost every ad break, sometimes even FBook! In 2021 #ScomoMarketing allowed FB and Goog to bribe #ourABC — called it something like #FacebookRefriendedAustralia™.

People seemed to lap it up.

Can we unplug from #TheMatrix, do you think?

If #Australia's ABC really cared about combatting nasty plutocratics, they would not be hosting their website via #USA-based corporation #Akamai.

We just pinging "#OurABC" servers, abc.net.au

Have you gotten to the part where they shadowban #antiwar activists (as far back as #Syria, 2015), JulianAssange supporters, freedomSoftware advocates, blocked news in #Australia when an attempt to tax them. To be fair the #LinkTax idea was dumb, but it was the speed at which govt yeilded that said it all.

Our #legacyMedia including #ourABC were #bribed in 2021 by #facebook, yet many in power are so #morallyBankrupt here, they didn't even care to protest.

Since i belatedly discovered #TheShot only a few months ago, it's become one of my routine tabs [for both reading, + the excellent podcast].

The linked article puzzles / troubles me somewhat. I've been aware for years that one of my fav #ABC broadcasters, #PatriciaKarvelas #PK, is routinely demonised by many ardent #OurABC lovers [of which i'm one; that is, an ABC-lover, not a PK-demoniser, to clarify] for her #Murdoch work history prior to ABC.

The allegation is frequently made, often explicitly or otherwise implicitly, that she's just another of the right-wing Murdoch / #LiberalParty stooges with which sadly the ABC has become infested over the past decade+. Right-wing horrors like Switzer, Vanstone, also Speers, give me the screaming rages, & terribly diminish Aunty's objective credibility [indeed, basic fscking decency!].

However, i just don't [now] see that with #PK. When she first came to ABC, i was deeply sceptical of her, based entirely on learning of her employment history, but otherwise having no idea she even existed. For months i listened to her, watched her, read her, all with abiding negative mindset in the expectation that "any moment now she's gonna drop her guard & go full-metal #RWNJ". IMO, that apprehension was never fulfilled. Gradually, initially grudgingly, i softened & came to trust her, respect her... then like her.

Nowadays i regard her as one of my faves. It did not hurt her cause with me once i [being an incredibly dimwitted cretin] very very belatedly realised she's also #Lesbian, but with far far greater courage & toughness than me. That's probably ridiculous of me to even mention here, but i'm just being honest in fessing that it simply ticked even more "PK boxes on my bingo card".

So, have i lost the plot? Have i lost my objectivity? Is she indeed nought but a card-carrying COALition fangirl, hellbent on assisting in the destruction of Aunty? For mine, that's a big fat *nope*, yet others seem fervently to disagree.

🤷‍♀️

Australia's #NationalBroadcaster blocks people from watching #iview programmes if they use a #privacy browser like #TorBrowser.

Even #RT (#RussiaToday) allows private access.

Shame on #Australia.

Maybe its for the best, they apparently had anti-#cryptocurrency programming this week, and used #memecoin and #twitterBuyer as part of their #fallaciousReasoning.

Maybe its the #FourthTurning in action but #RTNews lays down facts clearly and doesn't hide them, whereas "#OurABC" is absolutely deranged. Packed with isolated stories, some going back years, without context, and almost trying to brainwash kids into going to #Ukraine to fight without any protection or understanding.

They are hoping to feed human bodies into this without telling them the #AzovBattalion are genocidal #Nazis.

A man-made border, a decade-or-so old, is all that counts.

8/7

(See below link, the pink, #stimulating section of #ourABC's front page labelled as #ABCEveryday. Whatever that means. "Lifestyle" perhaps? You'll see the link to the article titled, "The best way to #invest $5K if you don't want to keep it in the #bank":

If the #establishmentMedia were serious about holding #warCriminals, #corruptBankers and the #extremelyWealthy accountable then #JulianAssange's trial would be front and center.

For example, if #ourABC in #Australia was serious about #journalism they'd be producing air a nightly #primetime program that examines the issues of his trial (aka #torture).

Let's not kid ourselves. #ABCNews are #corporateShills with no greater a backbone than the #MurdochEmpire.

We need to replace them.

@schestowitz
When it comes to reporting on #JulianAssange, #ourABC in #Australia were equally pathetic.

Its clear to us that the #Australian #NationalBroadcaster has been taken over by the #securityState. We are sure they must be very well paid to publish #recipes, #migrationStories and myopic social etiquette pieces, between #racist #antiChina messaging.

Maybe they are not well paid but hope to be recruited by the #MurdochEmpire. If so they need to cover more #RoyalTrash.

Oh the irony... #Australia's #NationalBroadcaster is #ChinaBashing on scant nothings, on the day our #journalist and #publisher, #JulianAssange faces #extradition to the #US from the #UK where he is being #tortured and can expect to be #murdered for revealing #warCrimes.
