I don't vote Labor. Never have.

I literally agreed with you that the ABC should be impartial. I was simply saying that using a biased organisation to try and prove another is biased isn't necessarily strong evidence, especially when the source is one that has been a crusade against the ABC from day 1.

As much as I don't support Labor, they haven't really gotten away with murder. I would say those who implemented Robodebt got away with murder.

Essentially this boils down to, if an organisation attacks Labor, you're on board with them. If they attack Liberals, then they are biased and should be shut down. You should read 1984.

Nope not at all, I actually want an actually impartial and balanced public broadcaster not the left leaning shitshow we have now.

You're clearly a Labor supporter as you've spent the entire time defending them.

Where was the outcry from the ABC when Albanese made those misoygnists comments on that podcast yet they would've crucified, tarred and feathered Abbott, Morrison and Taylor had they made those comments.

But then again if Labor and the Left didn't have double standards they'd have none at all.

Dude, I am not a Labor supporter. I have never voted Labor and have no intention of voting for them. I've not even defended them. I've only spoken about the media. And as someone who has history working in the media -including for newscorp- I've got a bit more knowledge of the inside than from my own political views.

Just because I sometimes look beyond my own bias, does not mean I support them. I have been critical of Labor on this very forum.

Where has the outcry from Sky been about LNP and their Robodebt policy that has led to people's death's and the lack of any accountability for any person involved?

See how the whataboutism can be from both sides. Obviously what Albanese said was wrong and he should be held to account for it, but let's not pretend like both sides are saints.

Again, my point was simple, you are quick to dismiss anything that has a left leaning, even if slight, yet hold Sky as truth. That's a contradiction.

Anyway, thanks for chat and for my laughing emoji reaction. Have a good weekend.

When did I say Sky was the bastion of truth?

You and your Pommy mate where the ones holding up the ABC as bastions of impartiality and balance when blind Freddie would tell you that is rubbish.

I never ever suggested that Sky were impartial, the only thing I will say for them is they are the only ones who held Albanese to account for his misogynistic comments while the rest of the media stayed silent where as there'd have been mass outrage had it come from the other side of the aisle.

The protection of Albanese and Labor has to stop, this proves the man is unfit for office and should own up and resign.

Not from day 1, only since they stopped giving him a gig on Insiders.

You used Sky as your critical evidence to make a point. If that's not claiming them to be the truth, then why use them? Sky will never even give credit to the ABC for anything, so they are hardly a credible witness against ABC

I never once said the ABC were bastions of impartiality. If you care to read properly, I clearly said that they have been wrong at times and there is work to be done to restore their credibility.

He hasn't proven himself to be unfit for office (again, I don't support Labor). The issue if that you hate Labor, so Albanese could wear a tanned coloured suit to work and you'd demand he resign. Were you demanding accountability against Morrison when it came out and spoke about how he broke laws and gave himself multiple ministerial positions. He should be held accountable by ICAC? You also haven't said anything about Robodebt, because people should be in jail for that.

You sure seem to be pro-Labor as you are clearly anti-Liberal and a typical lefty.

Morrison should've been held accountable for Robodebt.

However, If you really think we've been better off in the 4 years of Labor and Albanese then frankly you're living in fantasy land and part of the problem.

I'm definitely anti-Liberal, but that does not mean I am pro-Labor. I'm not sure what else to tell you, but I don't support Labor.

Ok. I'll just go back to living in my fantasy then.
