Why the ABC Needs to Go

The ABC is supposed to be representing Australia and Australians instead is represents a narrow band of views that fit into the far Left category.

Example: "The White House has released a report which it says shows the harmful effects from global warming are already being felt in the US, with temperatures climbing, rainfall increasing and sea levels rising." The report goes on to say how disasters are being caused by climate change and that they will get worse.

The report in question is the new CSSP report and it is so full of inconsistencies as a small amount of research would demonstrate e.g. Roger Pielke's Blog, one person cited in the report. Here he thoroughly debunks what was written using him as a citation.

There are two issues here. The first is that the ABC never seems to research beyond one small side of any issue and second when the truth comes out they never correct themselves.

The ABC is supposed to be the balanced news service for Australian, paid for by Australians. Instead it has devolved into a club that represents a select range of views with the token opposing opinion. They are now the Fox of the Left in Australia.

The whole Board and all senior level editors and 'journalists' should be sacked and replaced by a group that will truly present both sides of a story.
