Dear newsrooms across the country...

[Mr Eagle]

... the following items are not, and never shall be, newsworthy and should be removed from your running orders immediately:

- celebrity weddings, divorces and/or promotional appearances
- cross-promotions for your channel's other crappy shows (blatant or otherwise)
- anything involving the phrase "fashion week"


My TV thanks you in advance for removing these things that might encourage me to put my fist through it.

Its better than reporting on wars in some country we cant even pronounce.







:p

Oh you can also add logie nominaions to the list (although it probably comes under cross promotion because they only mention the ones from their channel)

So in other words don't watch Seven, Nine or Ten for news?

[moistie]

Amen to that. Cat up a tree stories.

"an appeal to lift an injuction placed on the Nine Network's blockbuster new series Underbelly..."

[peternorth]

unbiased reporting would be nice

also watched sbs news on sunday night. the guy who did the game wraps spoke in short sentences i.e.

swans score a goal.
then north melbourne hit back.
scores were level.
some good work lead to this goal.

[janiek]

to be fair i think the thread should be renamed 'dear commercial newsrooms across the country"
or just stick to watching sbs & abc

What's wrong with fashion week?

[Bender571]

What's wrong with fashion week?

Its not news, its just an event.

[FIGJAM]

Its not news, its just an event.
So's weather, but the chicks are more attractive than a time lapse replay of the day.

Let's get this man on all channels:

I didnt watch the news on SBS but that may be Craig Foster, someone who is hardly the sharpest tool in the shed.

nah he was hosting, it was someone else who did the report

[Admiral Afterworld]

I don't like SBS's new style. Clearly someone (probably some hack ex-company CEO high up) has decided there needs to be at least one "soft" story every broadcast (usually the last story). It's lame :thumbsd:

[Magnum]

Amen to that. Cat up a tree stories.

I'd rather hear about the cat!

That is why the still quite delectable Mary Kostikidis left SBS because Stan Grant made the news more tabloid. High morals from the gracefully aging Greek Godess.

Yes, I found that interesting. Sounded weird, plus he had a lisp.

[Bosun]

I only watch SBS news because they cover in more detail events around the world I want to know about, where as the commercial stations give them a quick mention and then move onto the latest Big Brother controversy.

In saying that how is Stan Grants tan!! mate stay out of the solarium for a while.

[Admiral Afterworld]

I do believe he is of at least partial aboriginal descent.

[Hap Hapablap]

dear sunrise,

we do not want to know why koch is not in today and whether he will be able to play for his basketball game this thursday night. if you so want to be part of his life why dont you become his ____ buddy. OH its already happened. My bad

[Mr Eagle]

Oh, and another:

- any poll conducted by a TV program, newspaper or magazine regarding what is the "hottest", "sexiest", "most interesting" or "best" of anything.

[Bosun]

I do believe he is of at least partial aboriginal descent.

He might be but I dont care, compare him now to when he was on channel 7, loves his fake tan.

[Howard Littlejohn]

So in other words don't watch Seven, Nine or Ten for news?
ABC and SBS are almost as bad as the commercials for celeb goss, fashion week, etc; but at least don't treat game shows as news, a la Ten (and virtually every newspaper in the nation) with BB and Idol.
