We just don't listen to the ABC much anymore

Whether its Jon Feine, Epstein, ABC TV predictable non comedy , Twitter and by line cut brigade ( esp on weekends ), Q&A ,news cuts on Israel ( we get bombs OUT  but not bombs IN) or any number of ABC program s we just switch off and talk to each other , look up something else  or use Iview.  Take ABCenvironment ---reactionary and out of control.Some programs are fine --however.

Typical government service of our day - slow lumbering , self referencing and insensitive.  Busy trying to sound like they are doing what they are increasingly not doing ( representing thinking people- representing leaders and the real innovators and prophets ); The ABC are increasingly NOT representing thinking people properly , those  who can see the increasing fanaticism and patronising nonsense of some of Australia's  most important minorities ( farmers , deep thinkers , true entrepreneurs and innovators,scientists who spent their critical decades studying- not talking to the media)
If  the ABC continues to appeal to the common denominator and the quick fix,  it will just get lost in the common mass - with not enough direct accountability (as with commercial media) to keep it totally honest ( truly representing and not editorializing   ( even Neil Mitchell can do a better job on something Feine thinks he knows something about  )
Part of the Government is dead risk that rightly featured in the recent USA elections?

The editorializers in The ABC to seem think we haven't read Mclullan and will not , to a Voltaire man, REJECT the overblown use of cross images ( as the commercials are doing)when Child abuse is mentioned .Worse they play with facts and present the ones that suit them . Scott MUST sit on those who wrote the bylines so they "put Hildebrand and whomever on Q&A tweets" Any dummy can pick the Aviator gets more than his fair share of "the thousands " Tony Jones claims they sort. The Not believable and increasingly not credible not watchable ABC. may look good but tis not good and certainly nowhere near best . Some newer and less prominent elements exempt
