ABC’s online news content was the source of more complaints about the national broadcaster than Q+A, News Breakfast and Insiders combined, the ABC ombudsman’s first report has revealed.
The report, released on Tuesday by inaugural ombudsman Fiona Cameron, found that 45% of content complaints to the ombudsman between January and June this year were related to perceived bias, with 4% related to balance, 26% factual inaccuracy, 11% inappropriate content and 8% unfair treatment.
