I do think we should push the ABC to carry out a fact check on how they treated the ALP Govt versus the LNP govt.
It's kind of odd that we accept the ABC as a classic exemplar of facts when it comes to the "fact checks", but balk at other things we suspect are political persuasions.
Well it isn't a fabrication that the ABC and Fairfax disliked Abbott while opposition leader, and this has carried over into his prime minister role.
I don't think they have an open dislike against the LNP, it seems to be very focused on Abbot. Maybe they have found circulation improves, by focusing the public on a common enemy, then just keep feeding them stories.
There has always been and still is a disproportionate level of Abbott focused articles. You just have to look on the cover page of the ABC and Fairfax websites, on any day, most articles will be Abbott or LNP focused.
This hasn't changed since Labor took office in 2007.
