We understand perfectly that ABC and in particular The Drum is nothing more than a propaganda factory for the ALP, but nevertheless we demand our right of reply.
If the charter of the ABC is to be honoured, "balanced" coverage needs to be adhered to in the spirit and law not in the breach.
We ask for equal time in reply or the ABC truly stands convicted as "TheirABC" and nothing more than propaganda for the socialist movements of Australia.

I send emails with regularity to them, they just reply with an innocuous blurb that basically says "Tell us exactly to instances that you think are not fair". There are at least dozens of ways to say it, so I'm sure they are just templates. But, I'll not give up.
ReplyDeleteWith enough effort and dedication we can definitely embarass them enough so that the PR bubble turns against them. There are other media people who despise the ABC and this can be an issue for them too. More importantly, this is a way to demonstrate the bias to the people who prefer to kid themselves that "TheirABC" isn't a total propaganda machine for sinister socialists.
ReplyDeleteFor a satirical website, you're not very funny. Am I missing the joke here?
ReplyDeleteDear AussieTeaParty,
ReplyDeleteFirst, love your work, I love coming over and having a gander when I feel like a bit of speculative fiction.
Second, I think giving you folks right-of-reply is a great idea. I think it would be a great forum for you to clearly articulate your vision for the country. I bet you're just positively gagging with ideas.
Third, as the author of the Drum piece, I'd love to debate a representative of your organisation regarding some of the ideas and sentiments you've expressed lately. If those rascals at the ABC won't have us, I'm sure we'd be able to find somewhere else that would have us.
Best wishes, don't let the Reds under the bed bite, and I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Mike Stuchbery
Political Commisar, 2nd Class

Worldwide Socialist Conspiracy,
Michael, I or anyone associated with EUREKA! will happily debate you or any other apologist for socialism and governmental corruption anywhere any time. It wouldn't take long. A simple neutral unmoderated thread here or on a forum, in person, on radio, anywhere any time.
ReplyDeleteAs for the right of reply, that's an ABC bias issue and we are pursuing it as one. It's much more serious than just letting some card carrying leftie teacher try and hijack a serious debate, and much more far reaching. It's for the ABC now to respond, with something more than its usual secular equivalent of Papal Infallibility. That isn't going to work this time.

Ahh, there's the satire! Cheers for that.
ReplyDeleteG'Day Gary
ReplyDeleteGo for it! Give'm hell! I'm so glad the rest of us can leave this silly turkey to you!
Without the power of his ABC Mr Stuchbery is so below your class I'm amazed you are wanting to waste your valuable time on him. But I suppose the principle IS important and it is our money after all!
fondest regards

Balanced coverage absolutely does not imply 50% air time. The same argument by climate change deniers would see the 2% of deniers get the same air time as the 98% of scientists who are convinced.
ReplyDeleteInteresting parallel to draw. Firstly because the 98 / 2 assertion is incorrect. Secondly because of the implied analogy.
ReplyDeleteBalanced coverage means that the political spectrum should be represented fairly, and only an unhinged moron would even suggest Their ABC is anything other than the propaganda / pravda for the socialists and cause machine.
We await a response from Their ABC. And we'll see what happens on Monday.
I hope if the ABC do agree to a debate, you use facts and reason to back your arguments rather than the hysterical vitriol you've been spewing until now.
ReplyDeleteCan you actually publish a paper or anything with reasoning, facts and non-edited examples of what you're talking about, or are the objective facts not convenient for you?
Unless you do this for all yur claims, you will just continue to be seen as the raving loony fringe of the Coalition party, with inellectual giants such as Pauline Hanson and Christine O'Donnell as your face.
Do the smart thing and convince us with truth, not truthiness.
Who is "us" oh anonymous commenter? The socialist mindlocked slaves? No point even trying to communicate with such puppets. For free thinking Australians, we're managing to have a dialogue pretty well.
ReplyDeleteUntil the ABC honours its (conveniently non legally binding) charter, the onus is on the left and their publicly funded pravda. We're publishing a huge amount of stuff in small chunks, and it is neither edited nor in any way inaccurate.
At some point the higher rent lefties will realise that their fantasy life and fictional narrative cannot survive collision with facts, figures and dedicated Australians who have sworn to fight for their own and everyone's rights and freedoms and to oppose all forms of tyranny.
Scurry back to the leftie hive with that bit of news, "anonymous".

Nice copout there. It like a litte kid saying "I don't have to tell you nuthin', 'cause you suck" :)
ReplyDeleteVery mature of you and also very revealing of your lack of substance. It seems you're just bent on destroying othes rather than educating and changing through constructive truth.
A pity, as he time is ripe for change and true leadership and vision would be rewarded.
"Anonymous", you are perfectly entitled to your views. As we are to our own. But don't put words in our mouth. That sort of silly laughable socialist tactic won't cut any ice here son. :)
ReplyDeleteNot putting words in your mouth, dad :) - just trying to get some meaningful ones out of it. You seem to doing everything you can to avoid it though, which seems to keep reinforcing my point.
ReplyDeleteNo word yet? I'll send them some angry e-mails too.
ReplyDeleteIt isn't rocket science...
ReplyDeleteAlso note to mindlocked leftoids, and this one is a no-brainer so just perfect for your sheltered workshop... Saying stuff doesn't make it true. :)
And watch it kiddies don't make us defrost one of our Wilson Tuckeys. Because we will. We totally will.

You're right, it doesn't work. All your rants are still a bunch of self-serving and deliberately inflammatory lies.
When will you use the glenn beck playbook and call them worse then hitler?
ReplyDeleteOh, when was the Autralian Tea Party? I must of missed that history lesson....
