Imagine if, like, Coca-Cola bought Channel 10, and used the 6 o’clock news every night to install Coke employees as newsreaders and run a bunch of stories about how Coke is great and Pepsi sucks. That’s basically South Australian football journalism.
For bonus South Australia points, Michelangelo Rucci runs a story entitled “Pepsi’s alright I guess” and Coke drinkers begin to complain that the media is unfairly biased against them.
The way Ch10 was travelling the Port Bigfooty posters could've just about bought the station. My line-up for the evening news:
- Macca and Portia (sorry Rick) : Joint news presenters
- Schulzenfest : Sports presenter
- REH : Business report (time limits strictly monitored)
- Power Girl : Weather presenter
- Alyx : Memes of the week
- finbarr : Weekly hard-hitting editorial
- Janus : Shit club/no history segment
