    The reporting is just becoming so weak and lacking context and depth. The ABC no longer undertake a subjective review with reporting focused on facts and providing the non-baised in depth reporting which our country and tax money deserves. The focus on the Middle East lacks this clearly, with attention to detail and context lacking.
