Fake ABC

As expected, The West is making a full meal of the ABC's stuff-up on "war crime" reporting from Afghanistan.

This time -- The West is correct.

Sometimes the ABC is Australia's  conscience. Digging into topics which the rest of us ignore, or would rather deny.

This time -- the ABC went out of its way to destroy individual reputations.

Destroy, apparently, for no better reason than to build a saleable story.

Using faked sound effects. So fake that they now admit it was... done for deliberate effect.

An eyewitness who... even at the time... admitted that he saw nothing.

Then repetitious interviews with locals.

Locals who, guess what? Are the enemy.

The reporter expects honest answers from the very people we are there to kill,for be killed by?

Oh, bloody hell.

We -- our people, our government -- send young people to risk their lives, to defend themselves against an enemy who have already demonstrated murderous treachery.

And reporters ask these enemy, Did our own soldiers treat you nicely enough?

Bloody hell.

The West complains of the $400,000 court cost.

I complain about the complete lack of honesty.

The West covers up, hides, ignores, denies its mistakes, its bias. No worries, it's a commercial organisation, there to make a profit.

The ABC claims to be news we can trust.

Then shows that it is perfectly willing to lie... to lie, in support of its own -- or its employees' -- private agendas.

I'd sack the lot of them.

From lying reporter to failing to -manage director.

Then rebuild as an organisation which can be trusted.

Trusted at least to be honest.

"Truth" is variable. A conscience may include bias and misunderstanding.

Outright lies are unacceptable.
