And good riddance to bad rubbish.

I hope ABC #Australia sets up on the #fediverse properly very soon (they've only got a bot atm @abcaustralia ).

A must watch for any Australian interested in public affairs - big consultancy firms ripping of tax payers and undermining #democracy

Excellent work by #4corners #ourabc

Could it be that #OurABC has been infiltrated by #NeoLiberals like #ItaButtrose and her ilk, and they're afraid to report on the efficacy of #UnionPower?

A week or so ago David Speers held up a little sign and said some nice words about racism.

Today David Speers hosted hacks from Murdoch and Costello media.

There are journalists from other outlets with a range of positions on current affairs, News Corp and Nine are not the only options. The ABC can’t say it’s opposing racism then host the corporations that promote racism.

This is all so obvious, there must be reasons the #Buttrosed ABC insists on being an extension of corrupt corporate media. The same reasons Buttrose was appointed in the first place.

Can’t forget this one. One of the leading attackers of Larissa Behrendt at News Corp now works at the ABC. #auspol #ourABC

#Succession is a show that runs on #Foxtel - #Foxtel is a competitor to #OurABC (according to Murdoch)

PvO is wearing a promotional item for a show on #Foxtel.

Is this an example of Murdoch capture of the ABC?

No doubt media historians will argue about the exact moment our national public broadcaster completed its slow decay into a supermarket glossy—one remarkably similar to its Chairperson’s previous masthead—but I’d argue this story encapsulates the moment…
On the front page, under “National Top Stories”, and with the additional badge of expertise and importance, “ANALYSIS”.

SMDH.

@NessaUndreza This takes me back to the days when #OurABC used to make quality #Australian #TV at their Gordon St studios. Alas, 9+ years of #NeoLiberal cuts (cu*ts) have left the ABC a shadow of its former self.

ABC are fully on board this morning's glorious defeat! #Sooceroos #OurABC

ABC in the Coalition’s crosshairs | The Saturday
Paper

Let’s hope the Coalition eventually realise that Sky News and the Murdoch Mafia do far more to damage them than the ABC ever had, or would 🙄

Q: How did #danielandrews win his third Victorian election?
A: Better policies and better politicking
Isn’t the more newsworthy story:
“How can the #Murdochracy, #SkyNews, #IPA and #CIS survive in a marketplace of ideas where they are so profoundly out of touch with community values?”
Is #OurABC allowed to investigate this story?
Or should I have to wait for #SchwartzMedia to do the job?

As we are moving to correct social media with the move away from #twitter, in the Australian context we need to save #ourabc.

“Barrie Cassidy is far more blunt, urging the ABC to “reset” and stop being “cowed”.”

I this summarises things very nicely. The #AlboMP needs to quickly reset the #ABC board in the new year.

“a growing body of distinguished former ABC journalists has been voicing concerns about the public broadcaster in recent years. They include Kerry O’Brien, Quentin Dempster, Ian Mannix, Patricia Barraclough, Barrie Cassidy, Alex Sloan and Max Uechtritz. Their criticisms are hard to ignore; they worked during a golden era of ABC journalism that shook up a staid conservatism and ushered in a dynamic era of courageous reporting and commentary.

Their criticisms vary but many lament the framing of news and current affairs reporting, which they claim is distorted by a culture of fear and appeasement. Interviewed in February this year, Kerry O’Brien was asked about the notorious federal police raid on the ABC’s Sydney headquarters in 2019. He described “a creeping depression” infecting the ABC, intimating that some of its journalists were “intimidated”. Put plainly, O’Brien’s concern was the erosion of the ABC’s core mission: to fearlessly report the truth.”

Solidarity with @ABC (I know this is a bot!) workers handing out for the NO campaign this morning. It is expected they will be moved on by security. Stay strong!

Amazing what happens by being a friend of the USA, actual hate crimes & LQBTI+ deaths get 2 seconds in MSM, instead spends hours on human rights of Qatar! #ourabc & other msm need to really improve!

#insiders #auspol I find it best to find alternatives to #insiders lately just raises my BP & what was a.must watch similar to the old #Sunday on nine.( Oh my age! ). I wonder whats left of.#ourabc its.slinding into the pit of #skynewsafterdark

@FunnellMike It made my 7pm news bulletin in #Canberra. (I think: could also have seen it on News 24 just after 8pm. Either way, I saw it on #ourABC tonight.)
