Smith: ABC more akin to Soviet Union's Pravda than a public broadcaster

Sky News host Cory Bernardi says the ABC has “devolved further into the propaganda network” more akin to the “Soviet Union’s Pravda” than a publicly-funded broadcaster acting in the national interest.

Mr Bernardi said he doesn’t know why he still clings “to the notion that we can expect better from their ABC,” after the recent broadcast of Annabel Crabb’s series on women in parliament, Ms Represented.

The former Liberal senator said ABC failed to check the “outrageous claims” made about him in the program.

“Some don't like being held to account so they play the gender card or the race card or if they haven't got any cards to play they just smear, so that they can be above criticism.

“Their program Ms Represented would be better named 'Misrepresented' or 'Extreme Misrepresentation'.”
