This needs to be reposted everywhere! It is only due to #MediaWatch and @TheRealPBarry that Australians get to understand how broken and understaffed of experienced reporters the ABC is now after cuts and reprogramming under successive Management. It needs fixing! @ABCaustralia

(THREAD) This is a brief thread from a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer on what everyone—literally everyone—is missing about the 34 felonies Donald Trump committed to win the 2016 presidential election. This will change how you understand the 2016 election cycle. Please RETWEET.
Huge feedback on this. Thanks. People care about the ABC. We all want it to be strong.

“We wonder how the ABC can justify having a dedicated news channel if it can’t do better on breaking stories like this.” #MediaWatch
@Melbourne_says And calling the ABC out on it's irrelevence abd total failure as a national broadcaster in every sense of the words.
@Melbourne_says Terrific analysis tonight of the ABC news channel sounding much like the complaints so many of us on here have been making. Hope it’s still on next week.
I reckon we need a #MediaWatch episode every night. A daily clarification of all the mis and disinformation we’re getting shoved down our throats by the media companies who want our money in return.
I have started watching more SBS news for the reason ABC news has become more tabloid and aligned with the interests of the Liberal Party in opposition. SBS news is highly professional, objective and presents informative information about global events.
A rarity on Australian television. Declassified Australia’s co-creator was profiled by ABC TV to tell his story of the reality of what Israel is doing in Gaza — more and more people are speaking out on the crimes being done ‘in our name’. You can read the article, watch the…

A friendly reminder of the data on annual inflation. On #insiders it was suggested inflation was troubling and accelerating: Dec 2022 7.8% Mar 2023 7.0% Jun 2023 6.0% Sep 2023 5.4% Dec 2023 4.1% Mar 2024 3.6% Lazy journalism or mischievous in the extreme
The Murdoch press reporter Clare Armstrong chastises Labor for a lack of transparency. FFS this from an employee of a corrupt, law breaking multinational that engaged in phone hacking of celebrities, a murdered schoolgirl, bribed police and covered it up! #insiders

Why is it that whenever Peter Stefanovic interviews Pauline Hanson for her views on something he never mentions "so remember that time you went to jail as a convicted criminal...?" I guess his opprobrium is only reserved for non-whites. #auspol

Those were the days when we had and fair and balanced @ABCaustralia now we have just another commercial TV network that no longer covers proper news and have to many right wing presenters spruiking #LNP propaganda. Kim Williams has made no difference to Ita so disappointing 🤬😢
Once was an ABC tragic. Monday nights were 7 pm News, then followed by the 7.30 Report, 4 Corners, Media Watch, Q&A with Tony Jones, and finishing the night with Lateline. All top-rating shows Sunday with Barrie Cassidy, of course. Miss these days so much
And where is that ‘fair and objective’ reporting that Kim Williams promised? I’ve been a lifetime watcher of ABC TV for 50 yrs but it’s getting so much harder to tolerate the loss of good, objective reporting. 😡
@abcnews How can the ABC get it so wrong? I don’t recognise you anymore as a reputable news source. Why are you so anti Albanese? I remember Morrison hiding in his office the last time women marched. Stop your BIAS!
@BilsonhBilson @mjrowland68 “Weak” Albanese. He needs to man up. “Muscular” Dutton. He’s the tough cop on the beat. These masculine tropes drive men’s violence. This is how systemic it is. If we are going to end male violence, particularly against women, we have to start by changing the language we use.
These comments from Vincent Hurley (criminologist & ex-NSWPol detective) re: violence against women are key Get the violent offenders off the street. Bail laws need to change. And, Govts (of both sides) need to stop dumping patients with mental health & drug issues on the street
@abcnews How can #AnnabelCrabb “whose entire skill set is supposed to be about competent judgement under fire — get it so horribly wrong?”
