‘Really serious issue’: ABC blasted for turning into pro-Palestine political advocacy platform

Jewish Community Member Marnie Perlstein says the ABC transition into a “political advocacy platform" is a “really serious issue”. ​“I think our national broadcaster ceased to be a balanced news outlet and actually has morphed into a political advocacy platform which really just supports the pro-Palestinian cause,” Ms Perlstein told Sky News host Chris Kenny. ​“If you’re someone who went and studied journalism or did a communications degree at any Australian university over the last three decades, it’s not surprising because you would’ve walked out of there with a degree in anti-Israel bias. ​“Of course they [ABC] are going to deny most of what they’ve been accused of. ​“Yes, they have made mistakes, and they have admitted to one mistake with the story about the babies, but there have been repeated mistakes made by the ABC that haven’t been corrected. ​“The reporting is always one-sided.”
