In response to So... calling for peace isn’t enough, but dropping bombs gets a free

Is it ‘if’, not ‘when’?

Fred Zhang, among many of the excellent points made in his article, makes the call that the ABC, as our national broadcaster, has fallen well short of its job to be impartial — displaying obvious bias — and has failed at its job to state the facts of both sides of a conflict.

With such obvious failures in the ABC’s journalistic duties and severe self-inflicted damage to its integrity, it would be easy to imagine that our ABC has been bought by Disney; but no, that’s America’s ABC.

Are we at the point where nothing will surprise us regarding the hypersonic dive of journalistic standards in this country, that we find ourselves reconciling that it’s not “if”, but “when”?
