No-nonsense Aussie bloke says what many are thinking about the ABC
An Aussie bloke has voiced what many are thinking about the ABC, urging the bosses to take action before it's too late.
Can you imagine yourself being maligned by your national broadcaster as an evil war criminal? Shooting at unarmed civilians. Having your whole nation perceive you as nothing more than a monster. Well, the ABC "investigative journalists" (pronounce as "liars") did just that to a commando called Heston Russell in 2022. Using doctored video and unreliable testimony from an American soldier to label Mr. Russell as war criminal. The video was found to have added in extra gunshots sound to make it look like an unhinged shooting of civilians. Even worse the American soldier said to not use his story as he admit that he can't recall correctly. On top of that Mr. Russell wasn't even in Afghanistan when the video was supposedly taken.
ABC was sued by Mr. Russell and the courts sided with Mr. Russell. Even after being caught ABC stood by their "journalists" and refuse to apologize to Mr. Russell.
To me the producers, investigative journalists and the ABC higher ups must be sentenced with the same punishment as an actual war criminal. Because if Mr. Russell would have failed to fend off this horrid hit piece by the "media", he could have been punished as a war criminal thus destroying his life forever. Today's western "journalists" have gotten too comfortable with running hit pieces without consequences.
