Buttrose ABC has no loyalty to Australia

Take this with a bit of a grain of salt. It is the accumulated impression I get from the articles I scan all day on ABC News, not any forensic assessment.

As far as I can see, since taking over the ABC, Ita Buttose has overseen a shift in editorial point-of-view from:

  • post-structuralist victim hugging;
  • economic centrism and
  • Australiana-style patriotism.

To:

  • post-structuralist victim-hugging;
  • trickle-down economics which has recently morphed into CCP-hugging treason.

In short, Ita has overseen a transition from a Fake Left ABC to a fusion of Fake Left (minorities instead of class) and Fake Right (interests instead of liberalism) resulting in the near-collapse of its loyalty to Australia.

What is the point of the ABC at all if it is not a patriot?
