Enough said? For the longest time, viewers have been questioning our ABC’s accuracy. But that’s not to suggest that questioners are treated with respect. You see, our Rudd-first broadcaster is ruled by “complex” individuals who understand the “complexities”.
Did you know too that many Rudd-first workers don’t even have to argue with their opponents because they hold five magic words in their leftwing hands? “You don’t understand the complexities,” they’ll sniff. Or to put it another way: “I’m going to lose the argument - so I will act like you’re simplistic and I’m your intellectual superior.”
In truth, if the ABC really cared for supposed complexities, they’d accept more politically diverse voices. And they’d give fact-loving conservatives more time on air. Why? Because that’s what complexity-hungry professionals do. True intellects embrace intellectual diversity. And confident brains with ethics don’t stack panels.

Censorship though often beats snobbery. Thanks to 720 ABC’s Mornings (Perth), October 12, 2009, a talkback participant felt that his participation wasn’t welcome because he didn’t subscribe to the left’s grievous open-borders doctrine.
The result? While the censorship complaint wasn’t upheld, the ABC admitted that “a complaint handling breach was recorded as the complaint was not referred to Audience and Consumer Affairs, as required by ABC Editorial Policies.” Or simply put, our ABC denied that it was engaging in an unfair process by entering into an unfair process.
So will 2009 be remembered as the most complex year on record? Or the Year of the Falsified “Aussie Combat Women” Story?
