	Crikey Website - Labelling the ABC left or right (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Years of ABC bashing by the government has seen the ABC rounds reporters hugely reluctant to criticise the government - the David Flint case is the one recent exception but that was simply too outrageous to ignore.
		Seems to me that ABC could be perceived as being tough on the Howard government - but I sense that is mostly due to the depth of its coverage - it is the only TV station that actually drills down into government pronouncements or doesn't allow ministers to slide away with glib announcements.
		Leading up to a very crucial election, there is naturally a lull in bias at the ABC to position themselves to be relevant enough to at least be granted an interview or two with a right winger, even if their true reason is to rip the guts out of them once in the studio.

		The movement to introduce low-power radio stations onto the FM dial in urban areas got a boost Friday from two powerful senators who introduced a bill allowing federal regulators to license small stations.
		The new legislation (PDF) seeks to undo an appropriations rider passed in December 2000 by Congress, which was persuaded by large commercial broadcasters that local radio would likely interfere with their radio signals.
		Community radio activists hope the bill will eventually lead to a flowering of small broadcasters in urban areas where the radio spectrum is dominated by large commercial stations.
