History
Miner leadership
Initially, ABC was heavily right wing biased: it only had Republican party members, and the founder and owner was notorious in his partisanship. It constantly predicted elections wildly in favour of the right. Miner kept leaving and re-joining ABC, leading to short gaps in his tenure which were usually filled by Glaze.
Glaze leadership
Glaze led ABC in the short periods in-between and after Miner's leadership. His main contribution was making Justin head of ABC
Early to mid Justin leadership
Justin took over ABC on April 29th
Barch on Justin's leadership of ABC:
"Justin was the man that made ABC. He turned it around from a partisan dump to an influential, and an organisation that was widely recognised as fair and accurate, with good quality content"
Justin created multiple shows, such as the Jacob's report, welcomed Lampolling into ABC news after Lamport became president, and interviewed many people, such as [Butterlands]], Garland and others. He was also responsible for the hiring of Barch, who became ABC's polling and political analyst. Justin reignited activity in other members, and encouraged them to write news coverage and interview candidates for various elections.
