No one at ABC resigns:
No one at the ABC is resigning even though they committed the same sin as the BBC:

Wed 19 Nov
Mr Marks said recent struggles at the BBC, which has lost two senior executives over what the British broadcaster accepted was a "mistaken" edit of a speech by US President Donald Trump, carried "lessons" for the ABC.
But he repeated his defence of the ABC's Four Corners for its own coverage of the same speech, saying criticism seeking to link the two was "opportunistic and false".
"The faults were not consistent on both programs. I didn't accept that was legitimate criticism," he said.

Re: No one at ABC resigns:
The ABC also doctored videos of Australian troops firing from a helicopter in Afghanistan and it was online for 2 years before it was removed. They also recently doctored pictures of Lib Senator Jane Hume in order to mock her.
When will they be defunded? Why should taxpayers have to pay them $1.2 billion per year for this crap?
They are a DISGRACE!

The ABC is a left wing propaganda outlet.
More misleading journalism from the ABC:
ABC apologises for 'misleading editing' after photo of
Liberal Senator Jane Hume was doctored.

11 November 2025
'In an attempt to be satirical, the image was changed so that a photograph of three of Senator Hume's Coalition colleagues was superimposed onto the newspapers front page,' the ABC said.

Re: No one at ABC resigns:
Wow. That's disgraceful. The ABC should be defunded and these Lefties should pay their own way, rather than exploit taxpayers. I would say the Govt should do something about this, but hey - the govt in power right now is behind it as well.Black Orchid wrote: ↑Thu Nov 20, 2025 6:08 pmThe ABC also doctored videos of Australian troops firing from a helicopter in Afghanistan and it was online for 2 years before it was removed.

The Left have basically hijacked the people's channel.
What can be done?
I'm at a loss beyond hoping some minister stands up and orders a Royal Commission or something to stop this corruption of the ABC.
In truth. Taxpayers should rise up and refuse to pay to these grifters. They are not objective, they are a bias propaganda machine now and doing exactly what the BBC has been doing.

Albo won't do anything -
the ABC covers his arse all the time.
It's a pity a wealthy person like Clive Palmer doesn't take them to court -
but maybe Trump will after he finishes with the BBC ? -
but those law suits can take years.
Basically it's a kind of fraud - taking our money under false pretences -
but we'd need a legal opinion.

Re: No one at ABC resigns:
The sad thing is that the Libs won't do anything about it either. We have a uniparty and what we need is a true opposition and that isn't ever going to come from the Libs.

Well yes - basically the ABC becomes a propaganda arm of whichever party is in power.
