 Subtitle: the AusBC vs. us, we the sheople®

-=*=-

Anyone with more than half a brain knows what I say is true, when I screech: "AusBC bias!" And yes, the expression "more than half a brain" is tough, but no-one said life was meant to be easy; and the bias *demonstrated daily* by the AusBC is (mostly) far, far from 'Left,' daaarlings - despite what the disingenuous and rabid right-whingers repeatedly try to assert.

John Howard promised us (core?) "relaxed and comfortable."

Turns out that what he meant was that the sheople should doze before their flat-screen, 5.1ch surround-sound home entertainment systems (lapping up trivia, or Hollywood-style drivel?) - while the world went to pot.

While the sheople are dozing, our resources are being flogged-off for little more than wages and a song, as our public utilities were flogged-off (Qantas, Telstra; yep, partly Labor) and now, along with the drought, there's little left, either on, off or of 'the farm' to sell.

Apart from those home entertainment systems and grossly inflated house-prices (thanks economic wizard Costello), there'll not be much left to show for all that "relaxed and comfortable" snooze-time.

And the ice is melting; arctic, ant- and glacier everywhere.

Howard says: "We gotta keep diggin' up coal!"

But it's coal (and oil; see illegal invasion/brutal occupation of Iraq) that's burning us up: Environment shock!

Howard makes threats: "Change the government and the world - your world - will change!"

Any change must be for the better, and it bloody-well better change, or we're sunk - and/or dried, fried, possibly the lot.

And the AusBC? They're (mostly) backing Howard. Boo! Hiss!

For a representative sample, try the breakfast bag.
