Call for ABC to ‘explain and apologise’ over ‘fake news’ reporting

Sky News host Chris Kenny questions when the ABC will “correct and explain” its own inconsistencies with news reporting.

“Kim Williams spoke at great length about fake news, quoting George Orwell and lamenting how it is so difficult in the digital age to find trusted, objective, factual information,” Mr Kenny said.

“If you want to counter it and you run a major broadcasting behemoth replete with government funding and statutory obligations, well, you have got a chance to do something about it, I mean when will the ABC correct and explain and apologise for its own fake news in trying to set up Heston Russell as a war criminal?”
