cut to a policeman: "I find it very ironic that they call themselves anti-war, presumably anti-violent, yet they start acting like this! smuglord "

I fucking hate this country

      Even ‘abmormal’ tv is galling

      the ABC: ‘a copper got a booboo, a ghoul was shouted at and pushed (v i o l e n c e) someone threw a coke(??? mystery liquid/ACID???! we’ll trust the police on this one, also pepper spray is fine actually) and a bin was set on fire (v i o l e n c e) so here’s a piece about the economic benefit of buying Israeli weapons and also Christopher Pyne to tell you why anti-war protesters should be shot at’

      Yeh but remind me again how tHe AbC iS lEfTwInG

      I dunno I remember it being exceptionally hamfisted back in the post 9/11 haze. I think it just feels more surreal now since I never watch legacy TV but it was an mundane everyday thing back then. It’s the same as whenever I see an ad these days I feel like I’m on an alien planet.

      It really is unreal just how toxic it all is, and how much they’ll openly lie. Journos in this country have no soul.
