Sky News host Paul Murray says the ABC should find its “own cloth to cut” rather than going with a “begging bowl to a prime minister” it was more than happy to “throw under the bus every single night over the bushfires”.
ABC Chair Ita Buttrose has requested more taxpayer funding for the media organization on the grounds of its performance during the bushfire crisis, but Sky News host Rowan Dean says this has to “shine a spotlight” on the ABC.
“Australians have got to wake up to the fact that we’re being completely dudded by the ABC,” Mr Dean said. Mr Dean told Mr Murray Australians “should be offered the choice to pay for the ABC if they want it”. “The quality of what was once a great organisation has gone through the toilet”.
