ABC deserve funding cut for creating #FakeNews

,

Transcript

Thank you Mister President. We oppose this.

The ABC has the time and the money to indulge their personal hostility to President Trump by using a video that sticks together two unrelated videos, that made it falsely appear that 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, let me say that the cuts to the ABC need to go far further. When the ABC doubles 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 U.S. 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.

Blatant dishonesty form the ABC

Blatant dishonesty from the ABC

I’m not sure I have ever seen such a gross and deliberate misrepresentation of facts than this report from the ABC.

Blatant dishonesty.

I’m ashamed that the ABC has been allowed to become unaccountable to the Australian people and the money that we fund it with.

[Presenter]

Well US President Donald Trump has taken credit for an upsurge in American jobs, saying the country is largely through the Coronavirus pandemic.

The US employment rate has fallen for the firsts time since the pandemic began, from 14.7% in April to 13.3% in May, an increase of more than two million people employed, but the President’s comments that George Floyd would be happy about rising job figures has been widely condemned.

What actually happened:

[President Trump]

Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country. This is a great day for him, it’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day.

Equal justice under the law must mean that every American receives equal treatment in every encounter with law enforcement regardless of race, colour, gender, or creed. They have to receive fair treatment from law enforcement. They have to receive it.

We all saw what happened last week. We can’t let that happen. Hopefully George is looking down right now and saying this is a great thing that’s happening for our country. This is a great day for him. It’s a great day for everybody. This is a great day for everybody. This is a great, great day in terms of equality.
