SDA readers may take some solace in finding out that the CBC is not the only highly biased taxpayer funded “news” organization in the world. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Managing Director, Mark Scott, recently pronounced that his network does not have any particular political bias. Another Australian begs to differ. Reading through that, a lot of the same devious techniques employed there are also used by the CBC.
The best line of all was this one:
“I guess if you stand on a platform that leans to the left for long enough, it begins to seem level again.”
Australia is astonishingly Liberal considering their historical culture.
Their Liberal Socialist UN Prime Minister Alison Redford is as nauseating as they come.
Undoubtedly she will have most of Australians national assets sold off to China before her term if ever ends. To date China now owns approximately 90% of Australia’s mining interests and a huge swath of the farming and dairy industries.
I’ve been on sites where posters who I consider to be two steps left of Lenin self-identify as centre-left or centre-right…….depends on where you believe the centre is, I guess.
@ Knight 99:
Julia Gillard methinks.
@ Knight 99, yes twins Gillard and Redfraud, socialists, separated at birth and always wearing pearl necklaces.

Same sh*t different test-tube.
I thought that was a rather exquisite backhander if I do say so myself.
Marxism, apparently the new normal.
Btw, the Communist hardliners that attempted the coup against Yeltsin were called right wing or conservative. ??
“I guess if you stand on a platform that leans to the left for long enough, it begins to seem level again.”
Brilliant. 100%.
Knight, the resemblance between Gillard & Redford is frighteningly similar, both in appearance and political views!
Yeah well every once in a while they blunder and the truth outs.
CTV 6 oclock news….Dr Phil commented…there has to be a change….there was only one gun in that school….that’s where it got chopped….
I suspect the producers assumed by the first few words he was gonna spew about “assault rifles” or something. Dr Phil comes from Texas……

Scary isn’t it?
Gillian’s hard left wing socialist bio only only proves how far down the hill Australia has gone.
They should be very worried about their Chinese sell offs and the blue water navy China is rapidly building. Including 4 nuclear aircraft carriers, but that’s just me apparently.

Again its why we Canada, needs a nucular deterent oursaelves.
At the pace these Social;ists are selling off our Nations resources to Communists. One day they will arrive saying they own the joints.
“They should be very worried about their Chinese sell offs and the blue water navy China is rapidly building. Including 4 nuclear aircraft carriers, but that’s just me apparently.
No Knight. I and many others are with you. It is immaterial that their economic policies are capitalistic. When all is said and done, the basis of their political power is the barrel of a gun.
The CBC critisizes all political parties. Your Tories don’t like any oposition.Harper has said it’s uncanadian to oppose the gov’t.
ok4ua, regarding your claim that “Harper said it’s uncanadian to oppose the gov’t” Would you care to provide the source for this opinion of yours?
Al, that was just a drive by typical lefty smear with no evidence.
Because of total reliance on the federal government for licencing, ALL broadcast news id is in effect, “a state broadcaster”. They all know if they inevestigate government corruption and go too deep or are too truthfull or say things the govrnment may not like they will be decertified – particularly left wing governments who have no tolerace for dissent or their corruption being exposed.
It is no accident that all broacast news has a left bias and have optics that are very statist which push government agendas.
This reliance of government through licencing has made media government-friendly and partisan sycophants.
Listen to CBC latenight radio and you would be stuned by what you hear from BBC, ABC,DW,(Germany) all the state run radio stations.Their bias in so many things verges on the criminal. The BBC’s “world service” sums it up for me, it is like having one’s cattle “serviced”.
