Me to the abc:
Axing the Glasshouse? WHY?
You see, the thing I don't get, is that if you are un-biased you air anything and everything. You don't give special treatment to something that expresses one opinion and not another. But axing the Glasshouse because you get complaints about the content IS bias! It's bias against opinions against the government, and when you start censoring (because that's what it is) things like that, you're several steps closer to totalitariamism. Yeah, maybe the annalagy is a little extreme, but you axe one thing based on opinion, it's easier to axe another. And another and another. And you start doing that, the only people who will watch the abc are the over 70's or the bogan audiences of today tonight and a current affair. No one with intelligence or brains will be able to stomach the blantant CENSORSHIP, the BIAS.
The Glasshouse is (usually) intelligent comedy. Something to think about. And hey, guess what? The announcement of the axing got them angry. Wil promised to go out guns blazing. And that's going to be worse.
As they said, if Latham was in power that's take on him. If the people who make the complaints actually watched the show, they'd see they target everyone. The government is just more prominant because they do things. The oppisition don't - there's only so many jokes you can make about people who do nothing!!!
Bias is only showing programs of a certain point of view. Non-bias is showing everything, no matter what it's got to say. What should the abc be doing? What has it been saying it's trying to do?
I want an unbiased abc. One that isn't affraid to show any point of view, from te very pro-government to the very anti-government.
I think though, with the way MY ABC is going, I'm dreaming.
