The same "Roy Morgan Research" pollsters who predicted that the 2019 Australian Federal election would be a "photo finish", Briney?
No idea what you're talking about, Bogan. Roy Morgan has long not been worth reading/listening to as far as Public Opinion Polls go. His organisation was caught lying about results way back in the early 1970s. Tsk, tsk. :roll

Australians trust the ABC and distrust Facebook the most, a landmark media survey reveals.
Conducted in April by Roy Morgan, the MEDIA Net Trust Survey reveals that while Facebook – and Social Media generally – remains deeply distrusted in Australia, the ABC is still by far the nation’s most trusted media organisation.

Australians are losing their trust in 'the media', but not in journalism

Guess who they trust? The ABC. :thumb
Only nine per cent of Australians distrust the ABC.

Again from your own link, Brian.
“Australians told us that their trust of the ABC is driven by its lack of bias and impartiality, quality journalism and ethics. While their distrust of Facebook and social media is driven by fake news, manipulated truth, false statistics and fake audience measurement,” said Roy Morgan CEO Michele Levine.
A major poll undertaken by Roy Morgan in May tells a similar story of distrust. It found almost half of Australians do not trust social media, compared to (for example) only 9 per cent who distrust the ABC. So, trust in some news outlets remains high.
Didn't you just say ...

Care to try for something other than Roy Morgan?
