Sarah Ferguson hits back at media watchdog’s findings on ABC’s Fox News documentary

Four Corners host says report has huge implications for the ability of the broadcaster to ‘fearlessly’ pursue public interest journalism

The high-profile ABC journalist whose Four Corners documentary about Fox News was found to have breached the public broadcasters editorial code, has hit back at adverse findings by Australia’s media watchdog.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma) found on Wednesday that reporter Sarah Ferguson’s two-part documentary Fox and the Big Lie breached the accuracy and fair dealing requirements of the ABC’s editorial code, but did not violate impartiality standards.
