I don’t hear the blatant lies and mistruths from the ABC that I do from commercial media such as Sky News. The ABC Emergency Radio Broadcasts were the only means by which I could find out how close the Liberation Trail fire was to my home during the fires of 2019-2020 – 8 km. It was a terrifying time, I had only just been released from hospital after a cardiac emergency, in our area all internet and emergency communication (eg FiresNearMe) was down. The ABC Emergency Ratio Broadcasts probably saved my life.
There may be faults to the service but I find myself watching and listening pretty much only to ABC and SBS these days – through choice, as the pap on commercial broadcasting channels seems to me to be intent on dumbing us down, bigtime.
