Most trusted, but….

Excellent app, most trusted news source in Australia, maybe the world. My go to for current news and events. Article selection, and opinion of most reporters is somewhere between centre/left and left wing. Should be more balanced. Still the best though.

Where would we be without the ABC

The ABC is undeniably the most reliable and most independent news source in Australia.

This is the IDFBC

If you are a Zionist this is for you.

Always biased

I am deeply disappointed with ABC News’ coverage of the CJP protests in India. Responsible journalism should be based on facts, balanced reporting, and proper verification—not misleading narratives that risk creating confusion and misunderstanding among the public.

When protests or demonstrations disrupt the daily lives of ordinary citizens, affect public order, or create inconvenience for local communities, the media has a responsibility to present the full picture rather than focusing on one side of the story. Any alleged misinformation or selective reporting deserves serious scrutiny.

ABC News should prioritize accuracy, impartiality, and accountability over sensationalism or one-sided reporting. The public deserves objective journalism that distinguishes verified facts from allegations and provides sufficient context for readers to form their own opinions.

I urge ABC News to review its reporting standards, correct any demonstrably inaccurate information, and ensure that future coverage is fair, factual, and balanced. Credible journalism should inform the public, not mislead it or undermine public trust.

It’s my ABC and I love it

Thanks to the Australian govt for this wonderful asset of tv, radio and internet news and entertainment. Please fund it a little more.

I rarely watch the ABC anymore. I don’t trust it.

Something worth protecting

Having reputable and consistent news and current affairs from a national broadcaster is the cornerstone of a good democracy. Let’s protect it and fund it properly.

ABC, a waste to tax payer funding

The ABC has no balance. It is unapologetically biased. It takes no accountability for its actions. Its loss of audiences across the board clearly demonstrates its lack of relevance for the majority of Australians.

Best coverage

I really like the ABC coverage. It’s balanced and thought provoking.

ABC

Love Auntie. With me morning noon and night. Insightful, fair and respectful .

Not a smooth app

Takes a very long time to surface. And sometimes does not come up.
I tried with other apps and not problems as I thought it was an internet issue but no. It just takes time and a times runs out with a blank screen. I do have a modern IPhone which is updated.

Accurate and balanced Journalism

News Information

The news being sent by you all is very sad try and come up with something like sports on this news page please and thanks any vituals

Relevant insightful trustworthy

I prefer reading ABC News over most other news services because I know they do their research and I will be informed intelligently without bias.

Morning news

Concentrated on political and Canberra sourced items and for that reason is limited. Could have wider scope with more international based stories eg developments in Ukraine/ Russia, Middle East, Palestine, China (eg reaction to US visit), sport eg Presidents Cup, Rugby (Wallabies win with only 11 players on the field at one time over current world champions the Springboks) - almost unheard of)

Good old Aunty has had a facelift and powers on ahead of the rest!

My goto news source

An excellent App,easy to navigate, hosting ethical journalism, from respected writers, verifiable information and limited sensationalism.
Keep up the great work. Thank you.

Sad

Thanks for an opportunity to tell the ABC what is wrong. Why is your morning show trying its hardest to become a morning show like on the paid networks? There is so much mindless filler that it almost becomes unwatchable. Please remember who your audience is. If you could get some presenters that have a personality, that would be good too. Oh and a bit less Labor bashing would be nice too.
Oh yeah, watching D Speers makes me feel like I’m watching sky. Please do something about the right wing influence on your station.
