Is Turnbull stopping Abbott from reforming the ABC? Here's perhaps one reason Tony Abbott is reluctant to sell or fundamentally reform the ABC, which has a strong and near-uniform Leftist bias that is a breach of its charter. It's his communications minister, Malcolm Turnbull, yesterday celebrating triple J's takeover of Dig Music: I am not only a staunch listener and viewer of the ABC, I'm a great supporter of the work you do. The work of the ABC has never been so important as it is today. As so many parts of the media are under economic stress and are unable to deliver as much as they were able to in years past when their business models were more robust. Those of you here that work for the ABC are working for ajn immensely important national institution, one that is a vital part of our democracy. Thanks to reader Matt.
