No relevance, but do you have any idea how good it felt to write "woke", "left" and "biased" in one beautiful sentence for him?🤣

The ABC is "woke" is "left" and is "biased". Nothing to do with self gratification just fact.

Expats from all countries need a decent and reliable VPN to use when needed. 

 

With so many online scams going on, more and more websites are turning on geographic restrictions.

I've been using NordVPN for a few years now. Arguably, one of the best. Never had a problem with overseas content while in Thailand.

Get a VPN and view it through Iview.

I can watch it on my laptop no problem, having said that my TV will no longer connect to my internet, I now watch everything on my laptop via an HDMI cable to the TV, I have another TV in the house that connects fine....🙄

So I got a thumbs down for this. Why? As it turned out it did sort itself out and not long after I posted this accurate information and some idiot thought deserved a thumbs down.

It's ABC Australia not ABC USA 

Most Australians like ABC news.

You probably think it leftist because maybe you are American righty.

Most Aussies think it's leftist crap 

In terms of network share, ABC has maintained a consistent presence in the ratings landscape. According to historical data, ABC's overall network share was 15.8% in 2019 and 15.1% in 2020.

 

Only 15 to 16% of Aussies watch the climate crap station.

 ABC Australia is not left. Have you watched it in the last 10 or so years? It's very rare to see a straight white male on it. 

The use of pronouns.

AI Overview

Yes, ABC Australia encourages the respectful use of correct pronouns, including gender-neutral options like 'they/them', to acknowledge diverse gender identities

, viewing it as good manners and inclusivity, though their formal *Style Guide* focuses on standard reporting, the overall stance promotes respecting individual identity over strict 'he/she' mandates for non-binary/trans individuals. The ABC promotes acknowledging diverse gender identities, highlighting that misgendering causes harm and that gender-neutral language fosters inclusion. While the official Style Guide has specific guidelines (e.g., for age), the broader ABC stance and its news coverage (like ABCQueer) champion using correct pronouns, including 'they/them' or 'he/she', to respect non-binary and transgender people. 

He, she, they: Why is it so important to get a person's preferred pronoun right?
