Sky News host ‘had to laugh’ at ABC’s claims of unbiased reporting on the Voice

Sky News host Andrew Bolt says he “had to laugh” at ABC Ombudsman Fiona Cameron claiming that their coverage of the Voice is not biased.

[@gone547]

Defund the ABC.

[@lizajane9755]

HAHAHAHAHA

[@Tyronepeader]

It's the Murdoch media that's being defunded whilst the ABC moves from strength. All the funnelling of taxpayer money to News Corp has stopped. Sky News has been switched off at all Airports around Australia and at the National Parliament. Rupert flings away billions on settling defamation suits with Dominion and Smartmatic. Subscriptions to Sky News is stuck on around 20,000. Hopefully the picture is fairly clear.

[@Tyronepeader]

It's News Corp that's been defunded, in case you hadn't noticed. No taxpayers money in Australia being funnelled to them any more. They have been switched off at Parliament House Canberra and at all airports around the country, falling or tiny audiences for their News Corp product and Rupert is flinging away billions on settlig defamation suits. You get the picture? Perhaps that accounts for some of the unreasoning cantankerousness that we have heard such a lot of lately. 😮😢😊😅🤗

The ABC is a public broadcaster with viewer ratings that are up to three times that of Sky News. They enjoy much more public trust than that of Sky News which is the least trusted media outlet in Australia. (Roy Morgan Research) We all are aware that the Murdoch media is very busy settling defamation cases involving knowingly lying to their viewers for billions of dollars which is a terrible look for a media organisation.

[@Tyronepeader]

@@FuzzyBearYT The Murdoch media including Sky News and their supporters have nothing to laugh about currently. The company's public reputation has been thoroughly trashed in defamation case settlements for billions of dollars and they are left only with a few (20,000) true believers as their subscriber base for Sky News. Nothing to get especially excited about.

[@Tyronepeader]

@@richardsaunders3743 The public broadcaster will be around for decades ahead. Who could say the same of the Murdoch media with their billion dollar defamation settlements, declining circulation figures and low subscriber base for Sky News?

It is appalling the crazy ABC bias in favour of the YES vote in the referendum. I have always been a ABC watcher simply because I hate advertisements. I find myself turning to my paid programming instead. Some time in the future the ABC will be looking for support from the public when the LNP start cutting their budget, that support may not be forthcoming, pretty short sighted! Let's take 60% off the ABC funding, that sounds like a representative number, and what about the same of the Ombudsman's Salary. Funding from the ABC comes from ALL Australians and should represent ALL of us yes or no voters.

[@credenza1]

I was a constant ABC listener for decades. I would listen to hours of ABC radio every day. I thought I was well informed. Then in 2016 when Trump was running for the first time I was disgusted by the relentless ABC propaganda against him and his supporters. I would guess how long it would be until there was an anti-Trump item. It was rarely more than five minutes, and very often less than one. I cannot bring myself to listen to their pious claptrap any more.

Now the ABC attempts to shape opinions rather than inform them. I do not trust the journalism at this institution anymore. For me that means I have not viewed the ABC (or SBS for that matter) for at least 5 years, and frankly I would not care if they were sold off or closed down.
