Tannin, I notice your edit to remove the claim of left-wing bias. I would think it pretty hard to dispute that overall, the network's tone is to the left of just about every other mainstream media outlet in Australia (with the possible exception of [[The Age]]) - not so much in its treatment of the major parties (it used to excoriate Labor when in power too), nor in the accuracy of its reporting, but in the issues it chooses to cover and the attitudes it assumes (for instance asylum seekers, where it assumes that human rights treaties are important and many Australians clearly don't).--[[User:Robert Merkel|Robert Merkel]]

: Robert, that's an oxymoron. Just about ''everything'' is to the left of the Packer and Murdoch press. Right-wing people complain about the bias of the ABC, left-wing people complain about the bias of the ABC, just about everybody complains about the bias of the ABC. I take issue with the claim that right wingers are more vociferous: that is only true insofar as right-wing ABC bias claims tend to get reported more in the tabloid press and perhaps TV (i.e., by Packer, Murdoch, and their clones.) Slip along to a union meeting and you'll get a whole different point of view.
: On the particular issue you mention, I agree, the ABC ''has'', generally speaking, taken a more pro-immigrant line than middle Australia - though whether this counts as "left wing" bias is debatable. (I'd suggest that the support of the parties of the right and of the left for various positions on this issue is more a matter of historical accident and wanting to take a contrary stance vis-a-vis their opponents than base ideology. And, come to think of it, that the ABC's bias here is largely a bias towards the trendy inteligentsia - who are, after all, their primary market.)
: On the other hand, there are plenty of examples where the opposite applies, in particular, almost anything to do with management, labor and economics. [[User:Tannin|Tannin]]

Of course the commercial networks tend to be more right wing in my opinion so it tends to even out somewhat

I'm new around here, but this is the first time I've seen links in section headings. Is that a standard practice? [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]] 23:34, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

== This article needs serious work ==
I've been bold in tampering with the opening, and I hope that contributors think the changes are reasonable. The article needs to be longer; for example, some tables, pie graphs of ABC income and expenditure would be useful; perhaps some images; a section in which the ABC is compared with the BBC, CBC, and other public broadcasters.

I'd like to tone down some of the hyperbole that comes through in a few places, e.g., 'legendary'. The article will gain more authority by taking a more neutral line; describing the Corporation's services, functions and history in greater detail will create a better impression, in my view.

I'm working through the history section. Where can non-copyright photos be found? Perhaps three or four?

[[ABC New Media publishes thousands of websites. Among the most notable are:
ABC News Online
ABC News Online has the most comprehensive local news coverage of Australia, publishing stories from the ABC's 36 regional bureaux. It also provides extensive national news and international news from an Australian perspective.
ABC Kids
One of the best children's sites on the Internet, you can safely sit your kids down in front of The Playground and keep them entertained for hours.
ABC Science Online
A rambling site, The Lab provides a fantastic gateway into the world of science, including the unique self-service science forum and the best science news from Down Under.'']]
I think this should be rewritten for POV reasons, anyone agree? [[User:Jesus On Wheels|Jesus On Wheels]] 08:17, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree, although the News Online looks OK. [[User:Tony1|Tony]] 16:13, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
Definitely not neutral. Some parts are true but there is an overuse of superlatives:- "the best children's site on the internet" or "a fantastic gateway". Tim 11:13, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
==ABC Radio News Song==
Does anyone know what the name of the themesong for the hourly radio news is?— [[User:Maestrosync|mæstro]] <sup>[[User_talk:Maestrosync|t]]/[[Special:Contributions/Maestrosync|c]]</sup> 11:07, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
'Majestic Overture'—Don't know who the composer was; probably a minor British composer, 1930s. [[User:Tony1|Tony]] 16:16, 9 October 2005 (UTC)
