Dec 2022 7.8%
Mar 2023 7.0%
Jun 2023 6.0%
Sep 2023 5.4%
Dec 2023 4.1%
Mar 2024 3.6%

Alarmist, but has merit. It's concerning at the very least.
- Calling Murdoch "shadow director" is not "alarmist". The reasons for this description of him is based on alarming facts. What would you call him based on these facts?
  The example I gave from Insiders is what is alarmist, using lies. As is the example of ABC pretending Albo hijacked the DV rally whereas the full video, which ABC deliberately cropped, shows the truth.
  I don't recall such blatantly dishonest reporting from ABC before Murdoch infiltrated.
non australian scrolling down all. Please tell me this is australian broadcasting company or something and not american broadcasting company that disney owns???
- @HubertManne @sqgl Yes, the linked article is about the Australian ABC, rather than the American one.
  The two entities are not connected. The Australian ABC is a government-owned public broadcaster, while the American one is owned by Disney.
  It's basically claiming a former Murdoch executive, who was appointed to manage the Australian ABC, is still working to promote his former boss' political and business interests.
  
  That sounds like a conflict of interests for a public broadcaster.
  
  ah ok. I can relate as we have pbs which is sorta the same thing I think.
