Many at the ABC see nothing wrong in reporting unfounded allegations of brutality by naval personnel towards asylum-seekers. If it wasn’t true, it is the kind of thing that ought to be true.
Many of us are sickened as we watch the ABC run its own left agenda to the detriment of the rest of the viewers who don't hold that side of politics in any regard.
The ABC will continue on this bent because Turnbull is of the left, wanted to join the Labor party but was rebuffed, so having no inner core beliefs he gravitated towards Conservative politics but his heart isn't in it. This man is a true apparatchik of power just like Rudd.
PETER Coleman once wrote about bohemians who met at Sherry’s coffee shop in wartime Sydney to consider “more important things” than the war.
Nowadays the bohemians are organising the Opposition Leader’s diary and have decided that there were more pressing matters to attend to than welcoming home our troops in Darwin after their longest ever war.
Fortunately Seven Network’s Mark Riley persuaded Bill Shorten to change his mind. Riley’s no-show Bill story aired on Friday’s 6pm news. By 6.30pm the bohemians had managed to find a flight.
Three hours later Shorten was wedged in an economy seat adopting the conventional Jetstar position; his knees pushed firmly against his chin.
Wittingly or unwittingly, Stephen Conroy’s attack on the integrity of a three-star general and Shorten’s diary omission have taken Labor into dangerous territory. The party may be falling out of step, not just with the military, but popular sentiment.
When Labor split over conscription during World War I, prime minister Billy Hughes knew better than to succumb to the “Wobblies”, the Left-wing radicals inspired by the anti-war Industrial Workers of the World.
The Wobblies preferred the “whiff of anarchist bomb plots and folksy songs” to “winning votes and civilising capitalism”, writes Tony Moore in Dancing With Empty Pockets. Hughes took the decisive step of declaring the Wobblies illegal.

No need to pretend dumb, gary. It's not like you've never made a typo.
froth, of course not, but picking to pieces a post word by word is something i have recently learnt from the right. saying much else tends to trigger the mod button. and at the very least check the topic header for a typo but i suppose anger might sometimes get in the way of clear thinking.

I posted a synopsis of the article along with some of my own commentand then the link if anybody cared to read further is they are inclined to..
This is not a scroller, I am not flooding posts with scrollers, it is my initial post put here for comment. Trying to lump all links and syopsis with the behaviour of some on here is spurious.

Fancy having to pay to read this dross, so I must thank the OP for C&P'ing part of it for those unworthy or unable to access it.
unworthy, unable or unlikely.

If posters are unable or unwilling to access all material referencing politics then maybe they have not got a full grasp of the subject and would be better off not commenting on political threads.
Only reading ones preferred side of a debate defeats any educated comment.
