Time to support the ABC
If we are to keep a public broadcaster like the ABC in this country, it needs public support not constant carping criticism that because ABC TV1 has a number of shows with an obvious tabloid bias, the whole of the ABC is rubbish. This is not true and so wrong!
ABC TV 1 does have a number of shows with a tabloid bias but that is not the whole of the ABC, a big diverse organisation that has to address the needs of our modern multicultural Australia. ABC 24 and ABC Radio have good news services and are fostering a number of up and coming new faces who speak with integrity.
ABC Regional gives good coverage of rural and remote matters. ABC Emergency is vital to people subject to climate events. ABC Classics play the best classical music to be heard in Australia. Clean out the bias, but don’t throw the baby out with the bath water. We need our ABC. It is still our ABC.
The Federal Government recently announced a new funding package for the ABC for the coming years, some restoration after the savage cuts of the previous Federal Government. Encourage excellence at the ABC.
