I would expect that coverage from those not funded by advertising (the ABC) to be better.

Unfortunately you would be wrong, because the ABC has decided it is better to suck up to the Liberal party for funding than to call them out on their bullshit.
Poor choice of words. I would hope that it was better, but not reliably expect that it actually is in reality.
I would hope so too :(

Frankly a bit fed up at news orgs in general (Not just in Australia)

If theres one thing the COVID situation has really brought out its just how much they like to use ridiculously false headlines and bury the ledge to draw outrage and clicks.

They ought to declare conflict of interest, really.

I see no such declarations.

I was watching ABC News 24 today and the gave Facebook some jibes.

Fundamentally tech policy can be hard to convey in bite sized chunks.
