The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) — the country's media regulator — spent a year investigating Four Corners' coverage of Fox News and its role in legitimising Donald Trump's "big lie" that the 2020 US presidential election was stolen.

The overwhelming majority of issues raised by Fox were rejected by the regulator.

However, ACMA's final report and its inflammatory press release raise questions about the regulator's understanding of journalism.
