What a hatchet job. @rwillingham has joined the haters. This column should be set as a #journalism101 example. Call it, "Framing A Premier: how to seem reasonable while laying a biased narrative." Actually a brief survey reveals most of his columns are anti-Labor. #fuckoffABC

The test for bias in a story is fairly simple: "Could it have been framed to give a different impression?" A truly objective story is difficult to alter. This story is biased as it frames the narrative with key conclusions that don't necessarily meet a fair and reasonable test.
I am surprised to find this - most of Willingham's recent columns are framed with similar anti-Labor narratives. There is not one story about the Liberal opposition. Nothing about Tim Smith's inflammatory tweets, or the ongoing rifts within the party leadership.
Willingham's recent stories reveal an anti-Labor bias. abc.net.au/news/richard-w…
There is nothing about the groundswell of social media support for Andrews across the country. there are no actual quotes from key players and no interview was sought with the subject of the column. This column, framed as "reporting" is really just personal opinion. #fuckoffABC
