Ep 35 - ACON & the ABC - Media Watch
We look at the relationship between the ABC and ACON, which runs the Workplace Equality Index Awards — a national benchmark on LGBTQ inclusion.Can the ABC remain impartial when it partners with a lobby group and gets ranked in a competitive index?
I'm guessing that just like the confirmation that the social media censorship pushes are coming directly from the government - including the silencing of the hunter biden laptop story - this will barely get a mention.
Correct. Denial, attacks against the program itself by its own broadcaster, then one or two stories in the “conservative”, non-mainstream press (Spectator and Quadrant - combined reach of probably… Less than 100K), and then absolutely nothing…
Meanwhile both the ABC and SBS have just doubled down, and continued their attacks on straight huwhites, and their promotion of, well, exactly what is in this video…
Funny that.
They are untouchable and they know it, too. At least 2/3 commercial tv networks, one of which is owned by CBS-Paramount, are doing the same…
It’s madness.
This really should be a watershed moment, in the history of these public broadcasters (particularly given that this is coming from internal critique, as Media Watch is obviously produced in-house)...
Will it be, though?
Lol, you already fucking know the answer to that one...
You should have seen the screeching and vitriol that came out of the ABC (and, naturally, the denial) when this originally aired...
