ABC coverage of the Gaza war
Richard Bean’s article summarises well the bias in the ABC’s presentation of the continuing genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing on the West Bank and Golan Heights. In addition, the obliteration of the people of Gaza is no longer as newsworthy as it once was as the mainstream media move on to Syria and Christmas time trivia, again failing to give proper coverage to Israeli bombardment of Lebanon and Syria and the appropriation of Syrian territory.
I no longer watch ABC discussion and news reporting of Palestine as it invariably involves no hard-hitting critique of the slaughter of innocent people.
Furthermore, there is almost no attempt to provide detailed analysis of the origins of the Zionist colonial project and its clear intent over 100 years to make the Palestinian people disappear. I do not expect it to improve with the new editor-in-chief who has little editorial experience and looks set to continue the decline of the ABC as a public interest broadcaster. I hope I am wrong.
