Very nearly true, particularly the nonsense on at 6.30pm

Probably deserves to be in the I digress forum, the ABC's biased reporting is far from a joke.
The Australian has the ABC firmly in its sights, this is a quote from the Four Corners program The Big Lie, a hit job on Rupert Murdoch and Fox News.
"Its time. Ita Buttrose, are you listening? Its time to crack heads; to bring to heel the zealots within the ABCs ranks who believe they have no need to heed the public broadcasters charter and editorial guidelines that demand accuracy and balance.
Itas responsibility, as ABC chairwoman, is to uphold its legislative charter. This does not allow for partisan frolics such as Sarah Fergusons Four Corners special The Big Lie, the first part of which was broadcast on Monday night.
The program was a full-frontal hit job on Rupert Murdoch, News Corp and the US Fox News channel. It had a septic odour, as if it were cobbled together from a trash can with only the rancid bits selected for regurgitation."
GRAPHIC: Footage has emerged of a fight at a popular family camping area.
So I took the bait and was hit with a paywall.
Double Island biff: Video footage of four-on-one fight emerges
Police are appealing for witnesses or dash camera footage after a violent four-on-one fight erupted at Double Island Point in full view of families. Watch the video here, however viewer discretion is advised.

The Walkley Awards .....
Just because ABC can produce some good documentaries does not mean they can't produce some bad ones. But would you trust the Walkley Awards to be impartial? The awards are judged by the Walkely Judgement Board, which is a who's who of left wing journalists. The Chair and Deputy Chair are both from ABC.
Challenge: Find a recent award that is negative to the left, or positive to the right.
Edit: I realise this should be the Jokes thread, so will not say any more. Apologies for diverting further.

Good on you Dorian, always good for an amusing riposte.
Agree 100%
Murdoch is not the issue, it's the poor standard of journalism in the ABC.
15 out of 43 Gold Walkley were awarded to the ABC since 1978, 7 of which went to Four Corners (who was last year's winner):

I thought I'd bite the bullet and go to a Murdoch web site:

Right in the middle of the clickbait at the top of the page is ...
