ABC out of touch

The taxpayer-funded national broadcaster, the ABC, is one of Australia's most important institutions and a real national treasure. Without it, Australians would largely have to rely on corporate media with its many commercial vested interests.

Having said that, it seems to have a big blind spot when it comes to programming, and I venture to say that it is dangerously out of touch with at least 20 per cent of its audience. The really sad thing is that I feel confident that the general attitude at 'Auntie' is that they can pat themselves on the back for being rigorously inclusive of all Australians. They're far from it. I put my rant at Turtles All the Way Down, my other blog.
