`ABC be fair` rally in Sydney- Ada Derana news clip
Sunday, 7 August 2011 - 4:00 PM SL Time
|
We had about 150-200 peaceful but very vocal protesters waving our national flag and chanting slogans. At one point, an ABC executive even came and pleaded with us, `We`re not like Channel 4, we`re just a news network!` That`s what happens when they broadcast fiction to make terrorists happy. The ABC themselves showed their own clip of the rally on ABC News at 7pm last night. News crews from ITN and Derana were also present. The event was a great success. Many thanks to all involved.
I will upload photographs of the rally soon.
