Is it just me? Or is it the Liberal Party is getting a disproportionate amount of coverage on the ABC. Since the election which as far as I understand the Labor Party won, most comments and interviews come from the now deposed side of the political spectrum. As an example on the 7.00 News and the 7.30 Report on New Years eve, the review of the year by the all smiling and dancing reporters failed to mention there had been an election. Yet when the so called gravity news of the decade David Hicks was covered it required the yapping Christopher Pine to deliver the moral fortitude of the nation.
Is it just me?

I think you are right but the victors can laugh and the vanquished can go on TV! Pyne ,as usual, made a fool of himself. Similarly Downer. They just don't get it !!!

Well I was hoping Rudd would clean up the ABC board of directors, but I am thinking it probably isn't going to happen.

"For Mr Howard to get to the high moral ground, he would first need to climb out of the volcanic hole he had dug for himself over the last decade. It is like one of those diamond mine holes in South Africa. They are about a mile underground. He would have to come a mile up to get to even equilibrium let alone have any contest in morality with Kevin Rudd." - Paul Keating

The opposition has a strategy.
The Labor Party does not exist.
They do anything to keep the Prime Minister and the Government off the front page.
The never call the Australian Prime Minister by his title.
Also,
The ABC doesn't have the information gathering resources of the commercial press and must depend on their news to report some stories.

You get a fairer coverage of politics on SBS News!
Too many right wing toadies on the ABC board influencing editorial policy, alas!

I suspect the worm is beginning to turn. Yesterday Channel 7 Brisbane & Sunrise were both highly critical of Tony "Gospel" Abbott - tonight 7 News Brisbane again had a go at Abbott on the same issue and expanded it to include Hockey for "wimping" out on the announcing of the spending cuts.

I have found over the years that the ABC is usually anti-incumbent

To anyone who saw ABC's Insiders this morning, I'd love to know the name of the song they ran during the intro video clip giving an overview of a quiet week.
The lyrics that I could pick at the time were so apt that the song might have been especially written for ex-PM Kevin Rudd.
Name that tune anyone?

That is what the logic would indicate but I have never paid any particular attention to the ABC's political coherency. Channel 9 might be the only channel that is politically coherent and consistently right leaning for all I know.

Fairplay wrote: "The ABC doesn't have the information gathering resources of the commercial press" That may be true, BUT most of the news in the "commercial press" also consists of little more than government media release and "spin" with a few added lines after the journal PHONES the source of the release, so as to make their outlet's news slightly different from the others. An excellent recent example of government lies and spin, sent through the media as "news" is the Sam the Koala scam, which I'll post about on a separate thread. The end point is that most of the mainstream Australian media news, is nothing more than a bland hotch-potch of what the government and controlling bureaucrats want.
