Cardinal George Pell has criticised how Australia’s national broadcaster handled its reporting of his trial, weighing in on a debate regarding the media’s coverage of the child sexual abuse allegations and convictions against him that have since been dismissed in the country’s highest court.

In a pre-recorded television interview with Andrew Bolt on Sky News, which is due to air tonight, April 14, Pell accused the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) of joining the media that only reported one side of the story.
