Meanwhile - in Australia - "a propaganda arm of the government">
Apparently, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation is similar to our National Public Radio.
They get their money from the government, and seem to promote the government line.
Personally, I don't like it...

Joanne Nova recently wrote about it on her blog:
"What Mark Scott admitted as the managing director of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation was really what everyone knew anyway: the ABC aims to please the gatekeepers of the pay-checks (which is, after all exactly what we’d expect from most organizations in the long run).
What makes it telling is that he could forget that he’s never supposed to admit this. I mean, they promote themselves in ads as 'our ABC'. It’s supposed to serve the people, not the government. The key problem is that although the people pay for the ABC, they don’t hold the purse strings."
