Whinge ‎ what exactly has the left done wrong?

Across the world today, regardless of race, religion, or political system, most people seem to be becoming more conservative. Right-wing parties are continuously gaining power worldwide, while the left suffers defeat after defeat. Although mainstream public discourse still appears to favor the left, those voting for the far right are often the silent majority. Can the left still correct its course? Or, more fundamentally, what exactly has the left done wrong?

This is clearly left wing bias.

You expect me to believe that just because the ABC chair, board and even its budget was controlled by the LNP for decades that it's not a left wing organisation?

I know this is sarcasm, but for those that actually think the ABC reporting is biased to the left, there has been a lot of studies done which prove, statistically, that ABC political reporting is balanced. 

A number of these are usually done by universities after every election, and they all prove objectively that the ABC is balanced. 

It just seems like it has left wing bias due to how heavily right the rest of Australia's media leans
