Forum
It was with much surprise on reading Dr N Padmanabhans’ letter in Forum issue 264, that anyone could be so misinformed in regard to the ABC.
This channel is regarded as one of the only sources of unbiased information that we presently have, due to all the biased information in the Murdoch press, currently under attack by a petition signed by so many Australians.
His vitriol towards the ABC was a bit theatrical to say the least and I can only imagine that it was some what tongue in cheek.
It is in fact the only channel that doesn’t have advertisements, which in themselves can lead to bias, to pay for what has been over the years good content, and as such, requires funding.
They regularly involve all opinions from all sources, the criticism was unjustified and I for one of the many, am happy to see funding go to what is a national icon, needed both for news, current affairs and in times of disaster.
