You’re suggesting Sky News is an impartial news source. The same Sky News Which employs Andrew Bolt and Chris Kenny to voice their “impartial” views to the country on a regular basis. That Sky News? 

FMD. 


 

 

Don’t forget little Rita Panahi, she loves to put the boot (stilletto) in

Sorry I haven't replied earlier dc; I've been out in the garden pulling weeds in this lovely sunshine.

Survey after survey shows that the ABC is the most trusted news source for Australians.  Personally, I don't find them biased like those of a Conservative nature seem to think.

That's just my opinion.  Others have a different opinion and I'm fine with that, I just don't agree with them.

odd that you just selected news service. over $1B funding is for a bit more than just news. FB can do it for nothing :) (well have been)

i also have my reservations about "surveys" and the "questions" they ask. funnily in all my years i've never been polled for my opinion on the abc

i don't consider myself "conservative" or "right". I'm a bit all over the place depending on the issue (but generally never on the extremes). what i do dislike is idiologues or people who find it necessary to align themselves exclusively to a political entity

i definitely struggle to understand those who can't see systemic bias in the abc. i can only conclude it is because those people just enjoy being preached to by the choir

I just saw this in The Age... now perhaps there isnt full context around what Edward said, but if what was said is true, then culturally, Ed still doesn't get the need for a genuine acknowledgement of what has gone on.

HL doesnt want life membership, he merely wants his experience acknowledged.

Nah, not bribery per se... its how the white class  individualist systems works, reputation, reverence, access to $, people, notoriety... Ed just happens to map it out into a context that it's not relevant (or wouldn't be accepted).

Exactly. I am not joking. ANYONE who marches must Self Isolate. That is the decision you take on. 
We can all transmit this virus without knowing

What about the Police who didn't even wear face masks at the protest;   but still found time to get up close and personal,  and pepper spraying those of the protestors,  as they were breaking up for their relevant transport home.

 

Shouldn't those Police be isolated at home .?

Yes, thats exactly what I am saying @daisycutter, individualist vs collectivist societies operate quite differently.

'be careful what I post'? Because you/others will judge me? sounds like something that would have been said to HL...

but perhaps you are right... I conflated all white people being individualistic.. I guess the Sami's aren't.

Sky News Chanel for a start. You know, the Channel that was selected to be our overseas braodcaster before Conroy stepped in and gave it to #theirABC in perpetuity. 

...

The worst in Oz are ABC, and The Guardian and the HUN on the other side. At least the Australian gives a platform to Left leaning contributors.

This is interesting. Sky News is less biased than the ABC. But the HUN is one of the most biased. If I read you correctly.

Does Sky News have a little bias, or no bias? If so, to whom or what?

Most biased in the US are CNN, MSDNC, NYT, WAPO, Fox and Breitbart

I am not going to claim the NYT and the WaPo are not biased. But I am interested in what manner you believe they are biased. To whom or what (or against)?

 

 

(Also: Fox News is biased, and Sky News is not?)

That was because the gov't realised that being the voice representing Aus to the rest of the world is something that would naturally be congruent to the charter of a national broadcaster.

A national broadcaster that the gov't has some form of control over.

Rather than a private organisation answerable to an American billionaire who may or may not have the best interests of Australia in mind, or be mindful of presenting a view of Australia to the rest of the world. Such an organisation might actually prioritise maximising profit, and in such an arena, that could possibly end up actually being detrimental of the country it is representing.

(Aus gov'ts of all stripes have historically had a hard time standing up to American billionaires with considerable media ownership in Aus.)

 

It's like they suddenly remembered that ...

As before though, the answer is irrellevant. None of these outlets OTHER than the ABC has a public funding charter to provide balance. It doest, and has not for a very long time.

Meanwhile back on topic.........

But Lumumba accused the club of “shifting the narrative” in its claim of trying to reach out to him.

“Let me very clear: I have no intention of sitting down with anyone until they publicly acknowledge some fundamental facts,” he wrote in a thread on Twitter.

“Why a public acknowledgement? Because I have been discredited publicly. I don’t want a private handshake. I want justice for how I was treated. That includes correcting public denials about my account of the racism and isolation I faced.”

Lumumba called on Collingwood to acknowledge “they did not have the cultural competence and organisational literacy to deal with a real culture of racism at the club, of which I was a victim for a number of years”.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jun/12/collingwoods-nathan-buckley-keen-to-talk-with-heritier-lumumba-over-club-racism-allegations

Collingwood are spinning this

So he should demand a public apology, on The Project as well.

The one part you failed to highlight was that the charter says they have to be balanced.

They are not, and only extremists think so.

@mods I think you’ve let this one get out of hand. It’s moved well out of a discussion of Heritier and his issues at the pies. Might be time to clean up the comments. 

Why is it out of hand, the treatment of HL, the media, various politicians, are all part of the bigger picture of systemic racism in Australia

If I was being cynical, I'd say Eddie is trying to further diminish HL and his claims in the eyes of the Collingwood faithful even more than the club has already (I doubt that many of the Magpie supporters would pick up on the not so subtle distinction that when you ask for fairness and respect that it isn't the same as being given a soggy salad sandwich and told to shut up).  If I wasn't being cynical, I'd say Ed has the EQ of a turnip beetroot!

He is entitled to post an opinion/perception, it's only where opinion is stated as fact, which happens quite often on this board, that a person should be challenged as wrong

It also depends on your definition of class system

White racists/supremacists believe they are a class above, particularly above anybody with a brown skin, perhaps that it was the poster was alluding to

Eddie McGuire is a racist, has the infamous runs on the board

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
