The ABC's Jonathan Karl appeared taken aback by a poll on a possible Trump/Biden matchup that has put the US President at 48 per cent and his predecessor narrowly behind at 44 per cent.
"A poll from Quinnipiac on a [a] possible Biden/Trump matchup puts Biden at 48%, Trump at 44%. This is a poll, again, taken largely after the indictment. I mean, that’s going to make you – that’s within the margin of error. That’s a statistical tie," Karl said on"This Week."Donna Brazile, former chair of the DNC, said the poll showed the country is"very divided.""It says the country is very divided. The country is really looking to get beyond 2020.

ABC avoids criticising Lidia Thorpe but has ‘no qualms’ attacking Jacinta PriceThe ABC has “no qualms” with attacking Senator Jacinta Price for being right-wing but avoids criticising Senator Lidia Thorpe due to her status of being left, according to Sky News host Rita Panahi. “In the Probyn case, apparently one of the things that had him in the bad books with ABC management was that he thought Lidia Thorpe should have the same treatment as other senators, but they saw that as punching down on a black woman,” Ms Panahi said. “Now the ABC have no qualms about punching down when it comes to – I don’t know, Senator Price, they attack her fairly regularly, but if you’re from the left and you happen to be a woman of colour then there’s a protection racket happening apparently in the ABC and he didn’t sign up to that, and he’s out. “I just think it’s mostly unfair.”
