In response to Independence of Journalism at risk: Antoinette Lattouf should be reinstated

ABC failure to uphold journalistic principles

I totally agree with the statement ’they (ABC sic) have failed to uphold journalistic principles and defend both independence in journalism'.

I have written numerous letters of complaint to ABC news and to individual ABC Directors, pointing out their total failure to comply with their own charter regarding impartiality of reporting evident in all articles and programs dealing with Russia and Putin both before and after the start of the Ukraine war.

Regardless of one’s view of the conflict the ABC coverage has been totally one sided and hypocritical and many times patently false.

Needless to say there was no response.
