This episode of Media Watch examines how Australia’s media regulator, the ACMA, has found the ABC’s Four Corners breached impartiality rules over its War Memorial investigation. But were the findings justified? Plus, News Corp does away with council reporters and replaces them with AI. The results? As you might expect. And Mitch McConnell’s disappearance while recovering from a nasty fall led to media speculation the Senator may be about to make a more permanent exit from politics. Media Watch is the ABC's long-running media accountability program, holding journalists, editors and media organisations, including the ABC, to account. Since 1989, Media Watch has exposed conflicts of interest, factual errors, plagiarism and manipulation across the Australian and international media landscape.
