The problem with the ABC is the A***hole managers in charge. They're on a mission dumb down programming so as to be an ineffective competition to the commercial crap of Freeview. The fact they are heavily promoting corporate commercial "Freeview" advertising on the public bradcaster, show how far they have destroyed the once great ABC. This latest decision to ABC axes arts programming should further confirm there is something rotten in the ABC managing board. http://www.theaustralian.com.au/business/media/abc-axes-arts-division/story-e6frg996-1226106700825 Over the recent years they have seriously ramped up sports coverage , something which the commercial media is fully capable of covering . For every serious show like "the Insiders" there is a sports equivalent like "offsiders" , and "The drum" with the Friday sports edition still called "The drum" WHY? **There is no lack of coverage of sports in Australian broadcasting.** There is an avalanche of sports programming commentary on every other commercial Radio TV and print media. How is this meeting the ABC charter & providing a service for ALL AUSTRALIANS, when the sports community is well and truly catered for elsewhere. Why waste money on populist crap, why not spend that money on alternative programming with Australian content? They have truly neutered the News service with the same news & celebrity headlines from the commercial channels and newspapers. They dedicate their time on News24 as automatons rolling through the same crap over and over again, without any analysis or giving background context to news events. Why, because they have spent all their cash on numbskulls sports jockey's, spewing meaningless crap eating up valuable broadband with trivial BS. You only need to compare it to Aljazeera to see what disgrace news24 is as a news channel. My local radio is just as bad, Richard glovers "drive" program should be renamed Richard glover's "afternoon traffic report". They have some deal going on with a commercial traffic reporting company & have to give an update every 10 minutes. They're also fixated with repeating the same news and weather and sports every half hour, as if that really makes for good radio!! The breakfast and morning & evening show are even worse, can't stand the bland beige bores. The government has to step in clean up the organization & get rid of the useless dead wood management with a big broom.

The noisy loopy right still is critical of the ABC even though a University study found the ABC news more favorable to the conservatives than the ALP in their reporting. How could it be anything else, with a board stacked with Howard appointees calling the shots? QandA now declares the voting preferences of its audience, and the numbers show on some episodes they're mostly conservative voters, but they still complain the QandA audience is left biased?! Media watch is one program they'd like to knock off, considering how many times it's exposed the likes of Alan Jones had lied in relation to the carbon tax. His incitement of his audience & airing comments about putting Bob Brown & the PM in a sack and dropping them off in the middle of the ocean is beyond belief.

Why am I not surprised at the backwardness of your comments? Some people strive for high art and greatness; the conservatives strive for sameness and mediocrity. To your lot rooting, shooting, drinking & shopping is high art!
