Oh #MediaWatch is trending, there's a happy surprise. I just watched their special report on the unending "bias" attacks on the ABC. It's quite even-handed and informative. abc.net.au/mediawatch/tra…
It'll surprise no one, I'm sure, but I support the ABC remaining a strong, independent, uniquely Australian voice that is held in the public trust. #MediaWatch. I'm not Aussie, but the ABC was my first window into the country, from 10,000 miles away.
36AUD/year is a bargain for what the ABC offers. Its storied "bias" is really just a reflection of how ostentatiously right wing so much of the rest of the Australian media landscape is, which highlights the need for an independent outlet all the more.
Public broadcasting is essential to democracy. You pay for it, yes, but you pay for any corporate broadcaster any time you spend money at one of their umpteen advertisers. I'd rather have a broadcaster that was free of their influence.
One final note, I have adored #MediaWatch for well over a decade now; witty commentary on journalism and ethics. I wish we had something like it in the US. It's one of many reasons Australia's lucky to have Auntie.
