SBS Viceland: Call for Sacking of SBS Managing Director

He’s Out and Proud but he’s not handing over that letter.

Earlier this month SBS Managing director, Michael Ebeid was handing out free advice to young people that “you can be openly gay and be a business leader”. Now Mr Ebeid is being less than open in his response to a freedom of information (FOI) request from Senator Eric Abetz. The FOI request concerned a letter sent by Mr Ebeid to Australian Marriage Equality, relating his support for their gay marriage campaign. He is now alleging that his letter was meant to only represent his personal views. “I’m more than entitled to have a personal view.”. He admits that he did use his official SBS title in the email but – according to Ebeid – that does not matter; “Whether it had my email block it would still be my personal email”.

Therefore it seems that the SBS has been erroneously listed as one of the “Corporate supporters of Marriage Equality in Australia” on the Australian Marriage Equality website since as early as January 2015. It begs the question as to how many of the other companies whose corporate logos appear there actually represent the personal opinion of only one individual, acting alone, expressing their private views. Are there really any corporations that have sat down and concluded that destroying the traditional definition of marriage as a man and a woman thing would somehow benefit their employees or their business?

Mr Ebeid has been in his position at SBS since June 2011. It would seem that he reckons that he can bring the SBS name into his supposably personal social justice crusade and it’s none of our business. Hey, we just pay the bills anyway. Stalin would be proud of that effort. His private email makes SBS a “Corporate Supporter” in the Australian Marriage Equality doublespeak. The gay marriage campaign is one losing campaign that enjoys less and less popular support every day. As the elite trip over themselves to show us just how clever and duplicitous they can be as they take aim at the one man and one woman and children type family which is the building block of the civilised world.

We will never know when Mr Ebeid’s is writing emails based on his own personal prejudices and opinions and when he is writing in his official capacity as managing director of SBS. Either way he uses the same email address. At least he could indicate that this is a personal view only. Most companies demand that their employees don’t use their work email for private purposes for this very reason. Why is it any different for Mr Ebeid?

As for Mr Ebeid being so “out and proud”, one might ask what has he got to hide with that email that he refuses to release to Abetz? Surely coming clean and handing it over might save his reputation, if not his job? What type of support was he offering the gay marriage lobby? Was he offering to set up a TV channel dedicated to debasing sexuality and promoting degenerate behaviour? Was he hoping to push his own gay agenda with “a unique partnership that will help catapult VICE further into the consciousness of young Australians”. Yes, he has done all that already with “SBS Viceland” being launched last year. The frequently asked questions page on the SBS website informs us that “SBS Viceland” is the “SBS channel aimed at younger audiences”. Presumably, Ebeid believes that Australian kids really need a TV channel with late night documentaries like “Sex with Sunny Megatron”, to “take them on a journey into the surprising, underground world of adult play”. No, Mr Ebeid, this issue is not going away.

Yesterday’s dirty revolutionaries, those screaming radicals who agitated for social change, have now slithered their way into the clean offices of power. Sadly for the rest of us, they are the establishment. Now ordinary, hard-working Australians need to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty in the fight against this arrogant collection of “progressives”. The tools at our disposal include freedom of information laws. FOI requests may be submitted by anyone. We should at least try to uncover the plots of these cunning leeches before they try to destroy us all. An effective FOI request can take less than five minutes to prepare. There are tips on numerous websites. We must demand that our tax dollars not be spent on destroying society.

Ideally, the SBS should have been taken to task immediately after their logo appeared on the AME website. Over the years these poisonous bloodsuckers have become very bold and very smug to the point that some of them are now sitting ducks. So far not a lot has been done. This would be partly due to the fact that hardworking Aussies have been caught napping (or too busy working) while these lunatics were taking over. Yes, they are comfortably established now, but as Bob Dylan once said “the times they are a changing”.
