According to Yesterday's Essential Report, ABC TV's news was regarded as always or usually trustworthy by 82% of voters. ABC Radio wasn't far behind on 78% and SBS TV also 78%.
One in five voters believes these PUBLIC broadcasters are "always trustworthy".
Newspapers are trusted by 65% of voters, but there is an HUGE level of distrust towards them - 29% of voters believe newspapers can seldom or never be trusted. Who woulda thought?
I guess that is *one in the eye* for our private media Virginia ;-)
So now we know why the *Murdoch Press* is "all over" the ABC. With their dingbat right wing commentators attempting to gain some credibility by their cosy association with the ABC.
I can just imagine Rupert's instruction to Andrew - "Write more rubbish and then get on ABC Insiders - and everything will be OK".
We know what is in it for Murdoch and his minions - but what is in it for the ABC?
As a citizen I really want to know - so could someone get Mark Scott to open the kimono please? Or do I need to contact Wikileaks?
