Foxy,
That ABC report you linked to didn't mention the apparently political murder charge that (along with strong evidence that the police officer was acting in self defence) was the focus of Seven's report.

It is, I reckon, the kind of thing you could see on 4 Corners or hear about on Background Briefing. But because of Budget cuts, the ABC isn't making as many episodes of those as they used to.

ttbn,
Isn't the ABC still Australia's most trusted news source? If not, what is?

Did Roy Morgan publish information showing trust in the ABC has actually slipped, rather than just the rankings (which could just show that other brands had become better at marketing themselves as trustworthy)?

ttbn,

You watched something on channel 7 last night and I
provided a link to the original event that happened in
2019 - and because you did not see it on the ABC -
I'm the one providing misinformation?

And then you go on to hurl insults at me. Okkkay - it's
all my fault - I get it.

Boy, I certainly must have rattled your cage.

Seriously though - you need to broaden your viewing habits
and reading more than just right-wing stuff like "The Spectator."
Also drop your obsession with Marxists - you're beginning to
sound like your pal - Canem Malum. (undoubtedly he'll stop by with
some "kudos" for you before long).

The facts however differ from what you're presenting. And by the
way responding to someone's comments in a discussion is not
stalking. Also providing facts which don't agree with your
views also does not qualify as "misinformation."

The ABC news has covered Kumanjay Walker's fatal shooting in
Yuenoumu, west of Alice Springs in November 2019. The News
channel has covered this story multiple times.

As for surveys? Surveys consistently show a high level of
public trust in the ABC. The facts remain that the ABC's
content has a huge reach across multiple platforms and
services. The ABC's output is not just TV but encompasses ABC
News online, which has been the Number 1 digital news website
for 12 months, and ABC Radio, which is also the number 1
national network.

The ABC News channel reached 6.4 million viewers in March and
ABC Kids is the number 1 channel for children in daytime,
followed by another ABC channel, ABC ME.

Through its COVID coverage the ABC was recognized in the record
audience numbers. 74% of Australia's adult population agreed -
"The ABC is the most reliable place for information during an
emergency."

In 2020 - Australians turned to the ABC in record numbers -
through bush-fires and the COVID crisis the ABC has been
the trusted source of news and information.

ttbn,

As for surveys? The ABC has commissioned surveys
also,
including those from companies such as Roy Morgan and
Essential Media. They clearly state that:

"The ABC is perceived as a valuable service to the
Australian community by 79% of Australians. Who also
believe that a healthy ABC is essential for Australia's
future."

So blow that out of your rear-end!

Foxy,

The only cage you are rattling is the one you are inside.

What some of you are aware, but not all, the ABC regional radio is
very popular outside major cities. One reason is historical.
Prewar it would have been was that the ABC got 10 or 50 Kwatt licences
for many of their transmitters in many country areas.
This gave many country town commercials a significant disadvantage.
As a result after 50 years the country people became welded on.
It really is/was as simple as that.
