American obsessions
Breakfast at 6am and flick on the radio. . .RN has the steady monotonous drone of a Boston bloke explaining about the snow/ice in his driveway; switch to ABC Radio News and yet another American accent droning. I gave up and wrote a short text of complaint and continued breakfast in silence.
Kym Davey has explained this phenomena succinctly.
We are a sovereign state and have an ABC chartered right to receive impartial news from our own domain instead of this slavish submersion in the brittle, crumbling culture of USA. America is not our friend
We also do not deserve imported nonsense from Israel skewing the narrative to show genocide and apartheid and torture and melted bodies is sometimes for their own good. . . We do not share the same values as Israel.
Keating, Evans and Carr have done well to warn us about the future perils of Albanese dragging along on the coat tails of America’s foreign policies. . . Morrison’s expensive signing of Australia to join the warmongering and ruthless oligarchs of the US is typically fraught and foolhardy.
