Im elite intellectually. I only watch SBS and ABC as commercial networks are beneath an individual of my intellectual reckoning.
But every now and then I like to watch the plebs bathe in their filth
Im familar with the current affair journo picking on dodgy dole bludgers or single mums or refugees or better yet, welfare receiving single mother refugees. Their attacks usually have some pre-text no matter how reactionary or base.
Let's be honest, we all want to see one of these reporters get what's coming to them.
But what I saw the other night took me aback.
The intrepid young reporter, doing the hard yards until he gets the offer to host the summer edition was doing his usual shtick or daring some tattooed crim to hit him.
But this had no context.
He was just standing out the front of a local courthouse and and doing the whole "What do you have to say to your victim?" thing to EVERY person that walked out.
Drunk drivers, assaults, parking fines...everything.
Just standing out front with his sense of moral righteousness to every individual that walked through the doors. It was astonishing. Someone would come out, he'd chase them down the street get his money shot of them threatening him, then run back up to the front door to wait for the next person.
Current Affairs has gotten so bad they are actually taking the piss out of Frontline now. They've gone beyond satire.
They are satirising satire.
