ABC’s Alice Springs ‘apology’ stirs more anger

The ABC’s coverage of the unrest in Alice Springs will be reviewed at the public broadcaster’s upcoming board meeting after senior management issued an extraordinary apology https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/business/abcs-alice-springs-apology-stirs-more-anger/news-story/5c58ab54c49529ad7d392573ace222ff?amp&nk=82bb917b82f3062401ac2fb2c67ddd88-1675646701

 But no ABC hack will be shown the door?

No need for more words from me.

I append below an assessment by Australians of how much this ‘apology’ is worth.

BBC Barbados – Correction/Apology

I recently published some observations on Barbados….

Barbados, A Republic Without Popular Assent? .

…and suggested BBC had not covered the views of people there who disagreed with the decision to end the Crown link.

Last night, I happened to tune into UK Pravda and lo, a ‘British-Barbadian’ was on, talking to people with views both pro and con.

So I amend my comments accordingly.

It’s important to admit oversights and say sorry if we get it wrong.

I do so, in the ( probably vain!) hope that the BBC will follow my example…

.

.

…for example in their dishonest failure to identify their guest yesterday….

A Biden Betrayal Foiled, Amid Glaring BBC Bias!

….as a rabid left extremist.

BTW, a zealous pro-republic campaigner in Barbados in the programme last night freely admitted that over SIXTY percent of the people would have preferred to keep the monarchy… IF the political class had given them the chance to vote!

Who Told UK TV Presenter To Abandon Impartiality!

Interesting, this.

If you flick over to Aljazeera to read this propaganda piece –

https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/talking-racism-uk-191225134048656.html

– you’ll see below it a disclaimer, that the leftist bigot author’s views are his and do not (necessarily) reflect Aljazeera’s institutional viewpoint.

For an often offensive part of the media…

‘I AM NOT CHARLIE!’ Leaked Emails Expose AlJazeera’s Intolerant A-Hole!

‘Walls of Shame?’ Al Jazeera’s Shameless Bias On Show Again! 

 

…that’s mildly reassuring, I suppose.

Yet ironically, if you read the rant above their disclaimer, you learn that Sky News has coerced one of its presenters, a guy named David Jones, into retracting an almost identical disclaimer, which he had quite properly asserted –  after a whiner named Gary Neville had insulted the entire UK!

Specifically, Nasty Neville, an ex-soccer player, had bleated on Sky Sports, that “racism is an endemic problem not only in UK football, but in UK society at large – not least of all within the country’s dominant political parties.

.

.

That may or may not be true, but it certainly is contentious. I’m sure both ‘dominant’ parties would dispute it!

So David Jones was not only entitled but duty-bound, surely, “to add a disclaimer to Neville’s comments, saying that they were not the views of Sky Sports.”

When a visibly annoyed Neville asked whether or not he agreed, Jones responded: “Whether I do or I don’t is irrelevant. I’m here to try and hold a balanced debate.”

https://www.itv.com/news/2019-12-23/david-jones-apologises-to-gary-neville-following-racism-row/

End of story, you’d think, unless Sky News took the next obvious step to uphold principles of impartiality and invited some more level-headed guest onto the show to refute the smear.

.

That’ll be the damn day!

Jones has since apologised, tweeting that he is “sorry to have spoiled … an important discussion on racism”.

SPOILED?

In what possible way did Jones ‘spoil’ the discussion?

Because he didn’t go down on bended knee and kow-tow to the arrogant Neville, who has done pretty well for himself in the dreadfully racist UK?

So next time some uptight has a rant live on tv, defaming one or more political parties and/or the very fabric of British society, presenters must nod and simper…

..

.

…and, not for even a nano-second, indicate that the opinions of the ranter might not be divinely inspired truths…

.

.

…not give the viewing millions even a hint that the chip on the ranter’s shoulder might be the ranter’s problem and not that of the society in which he has thrived?

‘Fair and balanced?’

If you’re watching Sky, watch out for flying pigs over head!

 

Apologise For Admiring Churchill? How Dare He!?!

There are some astronauts who seem to have left their backbones in Outer Space!

=

Scott Kelly, a retired American astronaut with multiple space flights under his belt, apologized Sunday after quoting Winston Churchill and calling the 20th century British prime minister “one of the greatest leaders of modern times.”

Which of course Churchill was.

Unlike his American counterpart at the end of World War Two…

=

=

…he was also alert to the menace of communism.

But that’s another matter.

What matters today is the way this Kelly creep took a few hits from slimy leftists on social media…

…then flip-flopped like a fairy falling from a Christmas Tree!

“Did not mean to offend by quoting Churchill. My apologies. I will go and educate myself further on his atrocities, racist views which I do not support…   https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/8/scott-kelly-ex-astronaut-apologizes-praising-winst/

Educate?

Churchill was and is a hero to millions of British people, and by that I MEAN British people, not the obnoxious alien we featured a year ago…New Statue Target For The Scum – CHURCHILL?…when I said what I repeat now.

Sir Winston loved his country!

He was fiercely faithful to the British Crown and the British Empire, and that’s more than enough to make him a hate-figure for the Enemy Within.

=

=

How sad that, despite Scott Kelly’s distinguished career, he now cowers and bows to that Enemy Within, which is just as much America’s as Britain’s!

 

Jakarta Post Equates Islam With Islamist Fanaticism!

A prominent headline in the Jakarta Post this week briefly gladdened my heart…

Apology from Jakarta Post

oooooooooo

————

But only briefly.

I had hoped their Editor, Endy, had finally decided to say sorry for the JP’s failure to condemn the Hitlerian book-burning committed a couple of years ago by his newspaper’s parent company, Gramedia, at the behest of Islamist fanatics.

Grovelling Gramedia’s Book–Burning Bonanza – Appeasing Fanatics 

• Gramedia’s Hitlerite book-burning

• …………………..

But no, it was just that the JP was apologising for its sloppy reporting 0f the recent executions.Apology from Jakarta Post .

Now I wake up this sunny Saturday and wonder if we’ll see another apology soon for THIS indefensible headline.

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

More celebrities, rock stars turn to Islam

000000000000000000000000000

This alarming news had me worried.

…………….

• 
• ………..

• Was Mick Jagger about to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca – I’d much prefer him to bring the Stones to Jakarta so I could enjoy their brilliant music once again.

—

–

Was, perhaps, k d lang, the Canadian lesbian, about to cover her glorious beauty (!) with a burka?

———

Not so!

In fact the JP report is not, as far as I can see, about apostasy at all.

……..

……………..

None of the celeb singers etc. mentioned ( I may be wrong but am open to correction) are Christian or Hindu or Buddhist. It seems that the people concerned are by no means ‘converts.’

On the contrary.

Up till recently, they have, apparently, been like the Indonesian Muslims I mingle with every day, nice, normal people who say their prayers but don’t shove their religion down other folks’ throats.

What the JP means by ‘turning to Islam’ is that they have endorsed the most extreme and fanatical outlooks, most notably (for stars of the music industry) 

Kang Ucay, the former lead singer of Bandung-based pop-punk band Rockcalled et Rockers, who now goes by the name of Noor Al Kautsar, serves as the coordinator for the Bandung chapter of Indonesia Tanpa JIL (Indonesia Without JIL). Indonesia Tanpa JIL is a conservative Islamist movement opposed to the liberal Islam, promoted in Indonesia by Jaringan Islam Liberal (Liberal Islam Network)  http://www.thejakartapost.com/life/2016/05/27/more-celebrities-rock-stars-turn-to-islam.html

For ‘conservative,’ please read radical. Conservatism means attachment to traditional values, which in Indonesia are distinguished by an easy-going tolerance among creeds.

In fact, there’s much misuse of the term Islamisation here, when what’s meant is Arabisation. Though to be fair to Arabs, many of them enjoy music, unlike another gaggle of celebs cited by the JP, viz.

Some other musicians who have decided to lay down their instruments recently set up a movement and identified themselves as Al Ghuroba, or The Strangers. These former musicians’ primary campaign theme is the prohibition of music.

———–

Of course, we have often covered kill-joy nonsense, most often from Aceh, the only Indonesian province with sharia law…

‘Immoral Activities – Sitting in Coffee Shops Laughing and Talking…’ 

=

Aceh’s Mad Mullah – ‘Dancing is EVIL – It Involves Body Movements!’ 

—————

…but also from other parts of the archipelago…

Islamist Kill-Joys, Buoyed by Gaga Ban, Now Turn On Indonesian Stars 

However, outwith the ranks of frothing fanatics like that mullah, Indonesians, Muslim or not, DELIGHT in music, especially dangdut, this country’s most beloved genre.

I append one example of the many popular practitioners. She’s named Cynthiara Alona. And she’s Aceh-born!

..

===============

She’s a great dangdut singer – since foreign readers know little or nothing of that music, I’ve searched around and got you a link to one of her performances.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsHfGZPh624

Dangdut tv shows command audiences of millions, and, in a 90% Muslim country, most of them are likely to be Muslims.

The Jakarta Post headline is surely a slur on all those who adore their music and see no inconsistency with adherence to their faith.

Why should a handful of fanaticised ‘celebrities’ opting for outlandish extremes be said to be ‘turning to Islam?’

The JP should issue another of its rare apologies!

I’m of course NOT Muslim – as regular readers will have long since guessed! – but my final quote comes from a prominent Muslim who ought to know what he’s talking about.

Syafiq Hasyim of the State Islamic University (UIN) Syarief Hidayatullah said that celebrities’ newfound piety, especially those who chose to become preachers, may be motivated by pragmatism.      

“There are two types of piety, exclusive and inclusive and the latter is always better. But I suspect that for some of those preachers, they have financial motivations,” Syafiq said.    

 

BBC Bias On PKI – So Kids Shouldn’t Learn Nazis Were Evil?

When I was at school, partly in Canada but also in Britain, our teachers did not mince their words about Hitler and his Nazis.

—————-

• 
• —————-

• They were BAD, BAD, BAD.

Especially in Britain, where there were areas we passed each day on our way to and from school where entire blocks of buildings, homes to hundreds of families, had been blown away by the Luftwaffe, acting on Nazi Blitzkrieg orders.

I suppose you might find Nazi-sympathisers who’d argue that our teachers’ lessons on the evils of Hitler’s cause were ‘indoctrination,’ but most would disagree.

Like the Spanish Inquisition…

…and the Slave Trade…

….and sending small children up factory chimneys…

….there were, and are, certain aspects of history which we are brought up, by both teachers and parents, to believe were wicked.

Certainly nobody at the BBC would describe class-room condemnation of such evils as ‘indoctrination.’

So how come the BBC applies a different standard to Indonesia.

=========

Children were indoctrinated to believe that communists were evil.

That one sentence, in a long report on the current debate here in Jakarta….

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-36431837 – on whether President Jokowi should make a formal apology to the unrepentant totalitarian hypocrites of the Indonesian Communist Party – the hated PKI….

….displays BBC’s essentially leftist bias. 

It’s an absurd sentence.

Imagine if mathematics teachers were the topic?

Children were indoctrinated to believe that 2+ 2 =4.

Or geography teachers?

Children were indoctrinated to believe that Indonesia is an archipelago.

Of course communists were, and are, evil, for every possible reason, and nobody who has studied history should need to be reminded of those reasons, some of which we reviewed in this post.

‘We Don’t Want Communism?’ But if You Did, It’s Time To Apologise!! . 

.—-

…it was the PKI who caused the mass slaughter. Their lying communist propaganda gulled thousands of simple folk into their peasants’ and industrial workers’ front outfits, and it was those poor mugs who got the brunt of the backlash.

Mind you, not all of the PKI fronts were naive dupes.

LEKRA, the ‘intellectual’ gang whose leading light was Pramoedya…

——-

—

That nasty old swine was as viciously intolerant towards freedom-loving Indonesians as the IslamoNazi FPI is today intolerant of Indonesians who believe in religious liberty.

–I’ve referred readers to Tempo, issue May 16-22, 2006 before, but must once more do so, for it covers the evil old Red’s career rather well and explains why some 25 “prominent literary figures and cultural observers” put their distinguished names to a formal submission to the Magsaysay Award Committee in 1995, protesting at that body’s decision to give Pramoedya an award.

=

Their reasons were simply stated, viz his unethical role during one of the darkest periods for creativity during the Guided Democracy era, when he led the persecution of artists and literary figures who disagreed with him. (this protest is air-brushed out of most Western references nowadays, though a brief mention is to be found in an otherwise slavishly pro-Pram article in the Economist http://www.economist.com/node/168819 )

———–

Aidit Senior was indeed killed, but plenty of his comrades ran like cockroaches, to the sort of countries where they’d feel at ease, tyrannies in which neither peasants nor workers enjoyed any vestige of liberty.  Places like Red China, and, I imagine, Castro’s Cuba, where evil held sway and still does.

————-

 Aidit and Guevara- rabid reds unlamented

————–

To teach kids that communists are evil…hell, it’s no different from telling them not to bully class-mates, or steal other kids’ lunch-money, or warning them not to talk to strangers.

—

So why does the BBC suggest such teaching is ‘indoctrination?’
