It's the duty of the media to have an "open mind" but Outsiders host Rowan Dean says "apparently" the ABC doesn't need to subscribe to this ideology. Mr Dean said “the ABC charter, which by law demands that the ABC be unbiased having an open mind, is something to be mocked and ridiculed”. “History has taught us time and time again that closed minds lead to tyranny, poverty and totalitarianism. Also known as socialism,” he said.
“History has also taught us that liberty and freedom and true democracy require above all healthy, inquiring, skeptical minds that aren't afraid to challenge the all-pervading and stifling orthodoxies of the day.
Row an Dean wouldn’t know if you were up him! Great mate for dopey Donald....
Rowan's permed hair needs to 'mocked and ridiculed'... let's not even talk about the garbage that comes out of his mouth. Where's your next job going to be after SkyNews eventually kick you out son? Hairdresser's assistant...?
Most of your commentators are so open minded, their brains fell out years ago. It's a prerequisite at the Murdochracy
TheirABC should be renamed Greens tv. UNwatchable!
The ABC’s a biased disgrace. Disgusting waste of hardworking families tax money that could be better spent on health and education.
But, but, but, rowandean Tim was correct insofar as *some* dams would definitely NOT be filled! - i.e. if he and his ilk had the success they’d hoped for, in preventing the dams from being built in the first place!!
Not a problem? 'Tensions were high in the Coalition party room on Tuesday between conservative Nationals MPs, who wanted the Government to focus more on coal, and moderate Liberals who believed more needed to be done to tackle climate change.'
macsween_prue Rowan Dean is right. Nobody watches ABC at all.
the ABC displays bias every day
Rowan Dean upset no one listens to him. Newscorp obviously hasn't an open mind, view from the top... Rupert Murdoch's son James criticises News Corp and Fox for climate change coverage
So why hasn't Deano got an opened mind? ohwait 🤣🤣
WTF what about your Murdoch rhetoric typical your way or the highway.
Since when has ever had a duty of 'open mind'. Another self serving aphorism by RD.
Another close minded report from another right wing bandwagon jumper shrilling the word Socialism, while doing the bidding of his master. You speak against totalitarianism yet you live and accept it everyday.
Name your cliche!
ThisIsNotJournalism Murdoch hacks
The trouble with Rowan Dean & the other RWNJ'S who hibernate on sky news is that there minds are well and truly OPEN... That's there problem.... 😱😱
Rosen Dean opens his mind only to Rupert Murdoch.
Rowan Dean said some asinine. How unusual.....said no one
It's the pot calling the kettle black.
ROWAN DEAN HASNT EVEN GOT A BRAINLET ALONE AN OPEN MINDAT LEAST SPEERS SAW THE LIGHT AND JOINED THE ABC WHERE HE DIDNT HAVE TO FOLLOW MURDOCH/LNP PROPERGANDER
It isn't. It is to report without fear or favour. Things must be pretty scary at Sky... auspol
And Rowan Dean is open - minded? He wouldn’t know the meaning of the term.
I reckon rowandean is getting his definitions confused. Socialism is not the suppression of competing points of view, that's totalitarianism. TI outsiders
Sky having a bitch about other broadcasters? Never
Get lefties inside your tv then
