ABC slammed for pushing agendas which always go ‘one way’

The Australian’s Media Writer Sophie Elsworth says the ABC faces a problem in which they push agendas which are “always one way”. The ABC ombudsman has supported comments made by 7.30 host Sarah Ferguson in an interview with an Israel Defence Forces spokesman, where she rejected claims the killings of World Central Kitchen aid workers were a “mistake”. During the interview, Ferguson told IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner that she did not accept that seven aid worker deaths – including Australian Zomi Frankcom – were unintentional. The public broadcaster received 52 complaints about the 11-minute television interview with Ferguson that aired on the ABC’s flagship political program on April 8. “You never see them going on there and pushing conservative views,” Ms Elsworth told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “Unfortunately for the ABC, they just can’t stop this because it’s so widespread here. “I don’t think they really want to do much about it.”
