Alberici does a reasonable job of cloaking her biases but believe she is still learning her new job and has some deficiencies in technique. I don't think it's useful to tar the whole ABC as being leftist. The majority may well be of that leaning but not all (particularly some business journos). And the presenters' politics don't automatically reflect in the way they do their jobs - some are more mindful of their responsibilities than others. Those others can too often tend towards self-indulgence. John51: 14 Jun 2012 8:32:25pm OUB, thanks for the correction. The problem is that Bias is always in the eye of the beholder and bias right or left is always from out position. Some see the ABC as being too biased to the left and others think some in the ABC are too biased to the right. If that is so then maybe they are somewhere in the middle. My problems with some of the ABC reporters programs such as the News, 7.30 Report and Lateline is more to do with style which can lead to a perception of bias. One of the most annoying things I find of late is where news reads let personal adjectives creep into the news that have no place in being there. My problem with the 7.30 Report and Lateline is their aggressive interviewing technique which include them talking over the top of the person they are interviewing. Maybe I am spoilt by my watching the PBS Newshour program where
