Excerpt: “Donald Trump is not fit to be president of the United States. He does not possess the requisite intellect and does not understand the significance of the office he holds nor the tasks associated with it. He doesn’t read. He doesn’t bother to peruse important files and intelligence reports and knows little about the issues that he has identified as his priorities. His decisions are capricious and they are delivered in the form of tyrannical decrees.”
Further: “He is a man free of morals. As has been demonstrated hundreds of times, he is a liar, a racist and a cheat. I feel ashamed to use these words, as sharp and loud as they are. But if they apply to anyone, they apply to Trump. And one of the media’s tasks is to continue telling things as they are: Trump has to be removed from the White House. Quickly. He is a danger to the world.”
Chris Uhlmann is good, one reason why rabid Australian conservatives, who mostly would be solid supporters in the Trump camp, are after Australia's nation broadcaster.

.. course you remember the GOP Caucus Room restaurant decision to oppose everything Obama put up .. Hanson's threat to Turnbull is Aussi rabid-right and the Australian Liberal Party (our more moderate conservatives) playing together .. Trump's election has enabled her and her xenophobic mates .. we have the battle, too

Senator Xenophon said: "I cannot see the need for the so-called 'fair and balanced' test.
"What that would mean to the ABC, in terms of the way it could fearlessly report issues ... really concerns me.
"This talk of the ABC being subject to further restrictions and for ABC staff to have their salaries published, that would be quite unprecedented and I think put the ABC at a real disadvantage with commercial broadcasters."
