A no clearer example on how the ABC turns a positive story into a negative narrative, under the headline: “Bishop defends secret Afghan trip.” Defend against who exactly?

…visits to war zones by Australian political leaders are only revealed when the politicians leave the area.

It meant Ms Bishop and Mr Turnbull’s absence was unexplained while questions were still being asked about the OzCar affair.

But she says it was unavoidable.

“It was planned for some months in advance and we of course, for security reasons, could not say we were going into Afghanistan,” she said.

Notice how the protagonist is not named. It’s called inventing a controversy when one does not exist. A tactic the ABC has mastered, by framing every story about the Coalition in the negative.
