Attention all keen writers of letters to editors intent on rapidly filling your (s)crapbooks with ones that get published : don't hesitate to repeatedly put the Italian slipper into Aunty ABC in News Corp publications , as you will get a prominent run .
A shining example is the above missive In the Murdoch Townsville Bulletin of January 27, run on the leader page , complete with an insert of ABC chair Ita Buttrose.
Midst a shower of claims , the writer ,who had recently had an emergency operation in Townsville , implied that funding the ABC is a threat to the state's health scheme . And increasing the ABC's annual government allocation of $1billion would be a Greek pox, not a virus on the nation .
Ita Buttrose, it said, had told The Australian newspaper that ABC funding would be an important issue in the federal election.
As if reading from a Paul Murray or Outsiders autocue, or uttering comments by one of the regular turkeys who appear on their mind numbing panel discussions , the writer asked :
"Is she shamelessly evoking every left -wing journalist, green group, along with the Labor Party to start protesting now ? Does she want more money for low rating shows to grace the programming of the ABC ,or her huge staff will get a pay rise ?"
As everyone knows, News Corp,like ScoMo is psychologically obsessed with the ABC, has been so since the l920s !!!- going back to Murdoch the elder.
The obsession is so manic , News Corp last September accused the ABC of being obsessed with the Australian newspaper by mentioning it and Rupert Murdoch 56 times a day.
It quoted a dodgy Institute for Public Affairs report for the bizarre claim. proved to be wrong , admitted by IPA, exposed on the ABC's Media Watch.
The Murdoch empire is agin the British Broadcastiing Corporation and moves are afoot there to further emasculate its services under the Tories.
Imagine the turmoil in News Corp after the announcement that Coalition cuts to the ABC and SBS, amounting to millions of dollars, are to be restored . Is there an election looming ,doctor?
The writer of the above Townsville Bulletin letter might also be admitted to the Townsville University Hospital for urgent shock treament , if Ita Buttrose , revealed as "the nut cracker " in Hard Quiz , approves a fresh supply of pre-loved bedpans for North Queensland .
