Here's ABC editoral policy manager, Mark Maley @MM1956 back in 2017.

He is loudly defending the use of live footage of a young woman being stoned to death because he claims:

". . . we should publish it, not censor it"

Women being killed are important for the public to see.
.

And here's the ABC's Mark Maley @MM1955 defending the broadcast of a union official's partner using the term "cunt-struck" when referring to his female partner.

Of course he's fine with the public hearing a woman described this way for the public's "understanding" of the story.

However when it came to describing the lies & conspiracy theories being peddled by Craig Kelly recently, it seems Maley has suddenly become all coy.

The public's delicate ears can't cope with Kelly's garbage being called what it is.

Instead it should be "unofficial information"

And when mad rioters attempted a coup in the US Capitol last week, @MM1956 thought the term "insurrection" was too harsh for Australian's delicate sensibilities

Dead women & cunt-struck temptresses - fine.

Spreading dangerous lies or attempting a violent US coup - oh be gentle.

Of course nothing in editorial policy making is black or white, but the bizarre and hypocritical edict issued by ABC's management this week clearly and plainly illuminates one thing:

How sickeningly far @ABCaustralia have fallen to lick the hands of their political masters.
