They should be hostile to the ABC, because their journalistic standards are terrible. I've reported 3 factual inaccuracies to them and all of them took more than a month to retract. In one case, the inaccuracy affected the entire premise of the article.
ABC's standards are that it's okay to lie as long as you retract it a month later in a tiny 10pt foot note.
On the other hand, I've personally reported a similar article inaccuracy to a News Corp writer and he replied in 10 minutes, issuing a retraction.
Similarly, I reported an article inaccuracy in a Fairfax website and they retracted in less than 2 days. No reply but as long as it's corrected I don't mind.
SBS is even worse, they actually have zero accountability for online operations.
