The ABC cracks down on misusing analogy reserved for Trump

Indeed.

June: Visiting British political operative Alastair Campbell advises a supportive audience on ABC’s Q&A that he told his former boss Tony Blair that where Adolf Hitler “took a few years before he started to go for journalists and judges, Trump did it in week one”. Blair thought this “over the top” — but not, apparently, Q&Apresenter Tony Jones. Meanwhile, on The Drum, guest panellist Rory O’Connor supports his 80-year-old uncle’s view that Trump is “doing the same thing” as Hitler did.

General Milley also reportedly compared Mr Trump’s rhetoric to Adolf Hitler’s during his rise to power.

“This is a Reichstag moment,” he reportedly told aides.

“The gospel of the Führer.”

It is often said, that the ABC is biased.
This is wrong and in fact is part of the problem.
The ABC is beyond biased, it is partisan.
It needs to be treated accordingly.

The same people who were saying – or condoning – “f.ck Trump” for four years, are now conflating those who say “let’s go Brandon” with terrorists, or those who entered the Capitol Building on January 6.
Ridiculous of course, just brown-nosing of Biden.
Apparently, all of a sudden even indirectly insulting a president is (or should be) a federal crime.

Perhaps the draconian quashing of people’s rights should be called “Trumplike”
