Biased Public Broadcasting, Israeli Real Estate

Biased Public Broadcasting, Israeli Real Estate

I will be speaking with Kate Mannix and Julie Szego  about how our public broadcasters have caused much angst for our Jewish community and to discuss how the ABC and SBS must bear some responsibility for fuelling antisemitism in Australia by their slanted coverage from Israel-Palestine in particular. Kate Mannix is a former senior researcher for ABC Television, including on the Compass program. She has made a submission to the Royal Commission on antisemitism and social cohesion with details of how “the ABC’s consistently biased reporting of the Israel-Hamas War has caused antisemitism in Australia to grow”. She talks about the special role of the ABC and its audience’s trust being let down by entrenched bias.  Julie Szego, a Melbourne-based writer, wrote an article for The Australian titled 'Blaming and vilifying Jews – it’s as easy as ABC [https://zpdryj.clicks.mlsend.com/ty/cl/eyJ2Ijoie1wiYVwiOjc4NDY5OSxcImxcIjoxOTExMTI3NTM0OTUxNDc5ODEsXCJyXCI6MTkxMTEyNzY1MDY4MjgxMDcwfSIsInMiOiI3YmQyZjVmNmMyNWVmZjU0In0]', where she refers to a very strange cultural moment featuring Penny Wong, Mehreen Faruqi, Grace Tame, Charlie Pickering, Avi Yemini and a vast supporting cast in what is about racism and hypocrisy, rape and lies, truth and propaganda.
