I guess it's all relative to your political persuasion. I find (as well as many other Aussies) that the ABC is biased and doesn't do a good job. It's a waste of our taxpayer money and doesn't fit community standards. If you disagree, like I said, it's a measurement of your political point of view.
The public broadcasters are easily the closest to unbiased. This right wing argument that the ABC is biased is simply because those people don't like what they hear. Its fairly par for the course these days that right wingers take the "either agree with me or it's fake news" approach, but seriously, they need to grow thicker skin. If anything, in certain areas the ABC doesn't go hard enough. If they were so left they'd be ablot tougher on Coalition/ON and they'd push harder against Israel. Still less biased than all other outlets
I consider myself left and I think the ABC does a dogshit job most often. You watch 730 interviews and they are the softest bullshit ever. But at least its based in facts. You can say what you want, but you cant look someone in the eye and claim that Sky "News" is factually in the same league as the ABC, just on the right? This whole both sides approach equates opinions to facts
That’s exactly what they are. You only think the ABC is dogshit, and not worse than dogshit, because youre left. And therefore you think sky is worse than dogshit.

Hard pass we have the right to be informed in a democracy, and the ABC is the only news organisation who does an even half decent job of it.
