Yeah I do actually.

But the ABC & Guardian are literal left-wing trash.

Wouldn't wipe my arse with the latter.

What's left-wing about the ABC? They have a statutory impartiality charter. I don't see anything left-wing about them at all (unless you've gone down the culture-war rabbit hole).

Which other media do you read?

You're a Pom who lives in the UK which is an even bigger basket-case than we are so your input is not welcome.

If one has ever watched ABC shows like Q&A knows the organisation is left-wing.

No I'm not, I'm an Australian (as I am constantly reminded here) who lived the first 29 years of my life in western Sydney and then moved to London for work.

We aren't talking about the UK, so whether or not this place is a "basket-case" is completely irrelevant.

I've spent my whole life watching the ABC (including since I've moved to London), and there's nothing intrinsically left wing about it on the basis of what I've seen. I accept it's a commonwealth instrumentality, and so its ongoing existence is predicated on ongoing government funding. I accept that puts the ABC in a position of conflict to some degree on public spending decisions, but I can't really recall that informing its reporting on that specific issue.

With that in mind, I'd be really interested to understand why precisely you consider that that the ABC is "literal left wing trash", as you put it.
