Today Tonight vs Current Affairs
- Thread starter Strannik
- Start date
distraction technique, monosaturation of information supply.
I believe that was covered in one of the episodes of Front Line
.Fantastic show, and I reckon it would be pretty close to the truth
.One of the biggest mysteries, I believe, is why anybody still bothers to watch either show. Surely, they're thoroughly discredited and mis-named.
Do yourself a favour, change the channel and watch SBS World News, which is on at the same time. The difference between it and the commercial channels will amaze you.
Let the TV tabloid con artists on Seven and Nine die a slow and natural death.

Boring sensationslised populist shows. Rather watch Big Brother
really? if i had a choice between the two i'd go to bed and read.
I noticed too, it's kinda escalated, am thinking base line is ratings, competition..
From earlier in the year:
A Current Affair passes off TT Story as own...

Those type of shows can work at a cracking pace. There would be some stories that are decided upon in the morning, written, filmed, edited, and on air that night. Meetings would be held in the morning to decide what they will run that night. Part of deciding on stories would involved looking at what is topical - often be looking at what the newspapers or talk back radio are covering. So it's not surprising that they sometimes do the same stories. And when there are doing their 'Special Reports' or whatever they call them, they have promos that run for days in advance, so each show would try and get the jump on the others by copying them and ideally getting on air sooner as a 'spoiler'.
I hope you are just flicking through them and not watching them.
They are hazardous to your mental health...you will devolve into a "victim".
I never watch either of them. I don't watch much news on TV, I have a series of website I look at instead.
I dont like either show but I think they can (and do) serve a purpose.
By having a show willing to grab any 'battler vs big business' story the everyday peson like you and me has a strong tool that can be used against a company if we believe we have been treated unfairly to try and get satisfaction or a resolution.
So in some ways their naming and shaming of shoddy workmen, uncaring business/banks can work in the communities favour.
Overall though they are both full or propoganda BS and fearmongering

I bring fantastic news, on Today Tonight this evening they are going to be telling us about how the property market is going to crash and which suburbs to avoid.
They are also going to tell us some of the suburbs that will grow too!
One woman has lost $600k from her property value
This sounds like a story that no property investor can afford to miss
