Bitter End: What led to ABC’s corporate meltdown? | Four Corners

[@hypnotika]

To me, both Guthrie and Milne don't feel right. Both heavily censor themselves and both are shady. Glad they're both gone.

You can tell When Michelle lies her voice goes high pitch......You can tell when Justin lies his lips move.

[@Millez]

You'd never see NewsCorp analysing itself like this. That is why the ABC is a national necessity.

[@shaneharrisnj3484]

This is why 4 corners and Media Watch don't deserve as much flack as they would on social media. They (both shows) would call out the network (ABC Australia) to prove that NO NETWORK IS SUPERIOR OR PERFECT. We Americans need shows like these. If we did, Fox would've had over 250+ "calling out self" episodes.

[@paulystp]

Guthrie shredded 200 staff and senior executives left and when she got shredded she wasn’t happy

[@ottoschless4115]

It seems Milne is moving his lips but someone else is doing the talking. To think taxpayers were paying this a--holes wages.

[@seavpal]

Wow, talk about a transparent manipulator. She even pulled the old "he touched inappropriately when no one was around, but I definitely don't want to make an official complaint".

[@checkeredcheese]

I havent even got to that bit yet bit ngl that dude does have creepy psycho eyes

[@FerraPizza]

God I love the ABC, at least one entity is able to review itself warts and all and give the public insight... Rare objectivity in this Instagram, Facebook Era.

[@robdewey317]

Ask Cardinal Pell how so great they are.

[@PattoDan]

Rob Dewey cardinal Pell was treated no differently to any other subject of investigation in an abc documentary. Have a look at the revised episode about Pell on Revelations. Exactly the same test that Pell said should be applied to all victims was used by the ABC to explore the story of another alleged victim. This victim did not participate in the original trial and now would have nothing to gain since Pell was acquitted by the high court. He is a compelling victim and very believable. Is there enough evidence to prove Pell was guilty beyond reasonable doubt? Many eye witnesses recall Pell being at the locations where this person was abused by Pell. I have no doubt Pell is guilty of this crime and, as a pattern of behaviour can be established from it, the cardinal likely guilty of the other alleged crimes. There was never any witch hunt against Pell.

[@witcher3videogame854]

@@PattoDan you know thats a lie, there was clearly a witch hunt. It doesnt matter if he was guilty or not

[@Pleiades-111]

You’re kidding? It’s centre to far left propaganda, and state-sponsored fake news.

[@jeffmoore2351]

If you believe that ABC is a open forum then enjoy your journey into the Lefty side of life. In the last 20 years I have gone from avid listener to not listening to radio at all. Why, its all rainbows and butterflies, work out the code.

[@heribertfassbender5759]

Guthries attitude, her mimic, the way she speaks and pronounciates, scream FAKE. If she managed to survive in Murdoch's shark tank for 10 years and even make it to the top, she isn't that lovely, innocent lady, she wants us to believe she is. Her mimic and stumbling speech ,while trying to answer tough questions, is so off. And I've never seen this person before, because I'm from Germany. Bonus: you've been victim to inappropriate sexual advances and you don't wanna file a complaint? But mention this AGAIN, while being sacked by the overwhelimg majority of the board? please.

[@rorythompson5410]

I dont believe a single word out of Guthrie,she accuses the chairmen of sexual harassment then refuses to make a formal complaint then throws it in her rebuttal to the board then claims she doesn't understand why they wanted to her gone,she also had a horrible evaluation from all the workers in most corporate spaces if your scores are legit abysmal its only a matter of time before you are out the door,her own management team hated her the board hated her the minister for communications hated her so is it everyone else or her?

[@Decebal825]

wow working for murdoch for 10 years and head of ABC. "Independant" media in Australia

[@peterphil9686]

You're so awesome Sarah. I wish we had more journos that cut to the core of the matters like you and don't put up with any of the run around.

[@justinsmith4562]

lol

[@trainrover]

shit! how can some chair command an instruction to sack a staff w/o the (directive) board's approval....

[@stephenmiller1958]

The staff survey was damning, she was a dead woman walking - lack of engagement is a killer. 47:30 Milne says "What does engagement mean?" Then he describes it.

[@Thellostmanuroys]

Watch them both squirm and back track..Lies, betrayal and corporate greed at the helm of this the people’s public broadcaster, shame on all involved...With great power, comes great gluttony and deception !

[@markcasey2517]

Ahh yes, that's why they went on the premier program of investigative journalism to be challenged and questioned.

[@nikkyalla3669]

" I wasn't a push-over" says Guthrie. Of course she was. And totally incompetent as well. She obviously didn't think so though. Dunning-Kruger effect?

[@tonywang1711]

This is very interesting for a review 4 years after the incident

[@25784lazza]

She didn't have the guts to lay an actual complaint, probably because the allegations were false.

[@rexi1414]

Just about every single argument that Milne makes doesn't feel right to me for some reason... But she does not feel much more believable either...

[@123brownjames]

Milne sound like a right creep. He sacked her because she was going to blow the whistle on him

[@25784lazza]

Except she refused to do so.......

[@kimhawkins5575]

Sexual assault the weapon in the mee too era.

[@mikeyseo]

That woman is a really good liar.

[@SMARTARTSMEDIA]

It is no coincidence that in countries in the world where they don’t have a strong national public broadcaster, they also have little in the way of public scrutiny of the government of the day. Luckily in Australia, Canada, New Zealand or Britain, and elsewhere, all public broadcasters are the bane of politicians and corporate entities, with good reason. Long may they continue. And as for bias, it seems bias is now judged solely on the basis that something doesn’t agree with that individuals view.

[@lindsaywebb1904]

SMARTARTSMEDIA ..exactly. Repeated investigations have shown they are balanced. The national broadcaster should be be further separated from the government where budget is concerned - wherever funding comes out of consolidated revenue, the govt. of the day can weaponise the ABC budget and whittle away at their independence and ultimately their effectiveness.

The view of artificially green Canberra with the water starved forest behind sez it all about Australia. We look at it every day, including from the seat of power, but we're really just interested in politicking

[@thehumanpromise497]

I have been fortunate to study, research and write on the topic of leadership. It is very difficult to improve one's leadership style or practice. This is not to say that one cannot improve, but it is very, very rare. The 360 is an effective tool, and for someone to act so nonchalantly about a poor 360 score is surprising to me.

So.,🔍🤔 the Official adjudicator of the ABC Network is the “Australian” Government, sounds almost convincing 🦅🧮 •☂️

[@sillybala1165]

Wow! What a bunch of horrible people. Imagine working in such a toxic environment. Yuck! The network should be privatised as clearly the board is full of incompetent liars.

[@LapisLazuli-vc1ff]

silly bala it’s not the board that is a problem it’s the government interfering with the ABC operations under the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Act the ABC is meant to be independent from the government privatising the public broadcaster is a very stupid idea

[@nicko9799]

silly bala privatising the abc is just what Murdoch wants so he can take over our media and Australia definitely does not need more conservative right wing media he owns nearly all the papers and Foxtel

[@beverlykirby2646]

Wow they have ceremonies Like that ....o my god That's like a cult I will not watch again

[@margyrowland]

Let Aussies decide if they want the ABC. Sell it off and see if anyone wants to buy it

[@PattoDan]

Let Australians vote in a referendum whether or not to privatise the ABC. I guarantee the result will be to keep ABC in public hands

[@Millez]

If the ABC is privatised, profits will become the primary motivator, not public-interest journalism. As soon as that happens, the ABC will just be another Seven-West, Nine/Fairfax, NewsCorp propaganda machine.

Shame you weren’t de-funded. You’re not independent at all. You’re fully dependent. Commercial news are more independent. They have to perform, or lose. You can pump out all the propaganda you want. You’ll still be funded.
