ABC = Anything But Catholicism
The ABC’s reporting of the media witch-hunt centring upon the Roman Catholic Cardinal George Pell, proves that our nation’s national broadcaster is anything but impartial. Just watch the following interview between Greg Craven, the Vice-Chancellor and President of the Australian Catholic University, and ABC presenter Karina Carvalho:
Sadly, the ABC has a reputation for being anti-Christian. Back in 2017, there was a segment on the ABC’s radio programme God Forbid about “coming out” as a Christian in hostile social environments. The discussion was between the host, James Carleton, and his guests Dr. Justine Toh (Centre for Public Christianity) and ABC regular Rev. Dr. Michael Jensen. When the conversation turned to hostility against Christians in (left-leaning) media workplaces, the following exchange took place:
Carleton: “You know there’s people since I started doing God Forbid, there’s people I’ve known for years here who go, at ABC, they go, “You know, I’m a Christian”. I go, “I didn’t know that.”
Jensen: I was going to say, actually, there are people I’ve known who’ve, who’ve worked at the ABC and have said, “I’ve never outed myself as a Christian at the ABC because it would be death at the workplace; it would give a signal that I really wasn’t a serious journalist or a serious thinker. So….
Carleton: Now, can I have their names, please?
Jensen & Toh: (Laughter…)
Dr. Stephen Chavura, lecturer in history at Campion College—and formerly lecturer in political philosophy at Macquarie University—rightly makes the following observation:
Apparently, by the admission of one of its own journalists, there are Christians working at the ABC who are afraid to identify themselves for fear of persecution. This is an incredibly serious allegation being made by an employee of the ABC. Was there an investigation? Behold, the ABC’s culture of diversity.
Now that Cardinal Pell has been found innocent—unanimously seven to zero I might add—by this country’s highest court, many Catholic Australians might hope for a sympathetic, or at least neutral, reporting on issues involving their religion. But as we all know, that’s really not going to happen and they shouldn’t be holding their breath.
