Australia’s media watchdog says the taxpayer-funded Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) misled audiences and inaccurately reported on Fox News and its relationship with former U.S. President Donald Trump.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) issued a statement on Dec. 21, saying that the ABC left out critical information “in a way that materially misled the audience” in its program, Fox and the Big Lie—a probe into Fox News’ role in the U.S. election.
