We oppose this. The ABC had the time and the money to indulge their personal hostility to President Trump by using a video that stitched together two unrelated videos to make it falsely appear the President was claiming George Floyd would be looking down from heaven thinking President Trump's job figures were a great thing to happen when he was really referring to his improved policing fairness order. Rather than needing more money, the cuts to the ABC need to go far further. When the ABC double-down on their fake news by claiming the broadcast was a direct quote from the President, the cuts need to go far further. When the ABC reports that US employment fell when, in fact, employment rose by 2.5 million in a single month, the cuts need to go far further. The ABC are fake news and do not deserve the funding they fraudulently steal under false pretences.
