In breaking news, the ABC’s euphemistically named Fact Unit has been slated to be shut this year.
The ABC has officially blamed “budget cuts” in the Turnbull Government’s 2016/17 budget on the closure of the
unit along with the loss of 14 jobs across the bloated and biased public broadcaster.
An unofficial source from inside the ABC has, however, disclosed to the XYZ that the closure of the Fact Unit is more likely attributed a patent lack of “facts” and various other mis and untruths which are spouted from the ‘Ministry of Truth’, whoops, I mean, the ABC’s Fact Unit on a daily basis.
While the Fact Unit will be closed, the ABC assures Australians that all is not lost, as most of the Fact Unit staff will be reassigned to other parts of the ABC where they can continue to sow the seeds of “double think”, “new speak” and “thought crime” through the Australian media and society at large.
