[LINK] Conspiracy theory ;)

[Frank O'Connor]

The ABC has tended to look at the NBN through rose coloured glasses for the last couple of years.

On the ABC technology now amounts to Good Game, and trite rewrites of PR material handed to them by whoever has a policy or product that they want to sell.

After the latest $40 million cut to their budget you’d have thought that they’d have gotten the idea that toeing the government’s line doesn’t pay or limit the damage … but I’m guessing they’re just getting numbed and beaten.

ZDNet, The Register and other IT rags provide a lot more balanced and detailed coverage of technology ... and the NBN.

Just my 2 cents worth …

Self-censorship?
