FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda The ABC’s slush fund coverage is found wanting

IT was timely to read in The Australian of the ABC’s intriguing lack of interest in the AWU slush fund story (Letters, 15/11). It certainly does seem that Aunty’s bias is showing. This morning’s breakfast program made mention of the matter but only in the context of implied bias by The Australian.
As a regular listener of the ABC’s Radio National, I have become conscious of its selective approach to reporting. I am waiting for some mention of the ICAC hearings into the shady dealings of former NSW Labor politicians but it seems the ABC is only interested in scandals involving the Coalition.
As a fully taxpayer-funded news agency, the ABC must be rigorous in its even-handed treatment of political issues.

JULIE Bishop is doing an important public duty when she questions Julia Gillard over unresolved questions about the AWU slush fund – as is the strong and important work of The Australian.
The publicly funded ABC and other media who have mostly failed to critically scrutinise these allegations, whether true or not, will be long regarded as unreliable. The decline of Fairfax is one example of failure to scrutinise matters such as these allegations. It would have been part of a furore if the allegations were against Tony Abbott.

THE Prime Minister’s refusal to answer further questions in relation to the AWU slush fund is not sustainable. She refuses to answer questions about $5000 allegedly deposited into her bank account by an employee of the AWU. This issue was not addressed in the Prime Minister’s August 23 press conference.
While Gillard is entitled to exercise the privilege of silence, people can draw their own inferences from her unwillingness to respond to reasonable questions that go to the heart of her integrity.
