A Current Affair and Jeep

I believe sci-fi ..... it's the ONLY truth :)))))

The TV media are out to sell entertainment. Some tend to stretch the truth. I have in the past given out media releases and what is reported in the media is entirely different. I have also had other media give out exactly what was in the release.

In all groups there are good and bad. Unfortunately the good media also lose credibility because of the the bad.

Richard,

Not a good choice of title content mate.

"A Current Affair" is on Channel 9.
"Today Tonight" is on Channel 7.

Having cleared that up, I'm in total agreement with you. In an attempt to increase ratings over their opposition, these media mongrels with fabricate things and distort facts, for their own purposes. They never let boring truth fizzle the story.

The fact is, they just turn me right off. I'd sooner be surfing ExplorOz where nothing like this ever happens, or I bury my head in a good book.

just like junk food or 4wd mags - you know it is crap but do it anyway best savoured at the time then discarded.
Wait till they expose a subject you know a bit about then you relise how full of crap they are

Channels 7 and 9 are getting like the Labour and Liberal parties. Whatever story one of them covers, the other will find a different point of view. Just like the recent John Jarret incident recently. One channel took his side, and the other his tennants. Get far better news via this means.

GEE ,I'M GLAD I'VE GOT A NISSAN

It's called infotainment for a good reason.
10% information, 90% --------

If you want news and information watch ABC or SBS, but still keep your grain of salt handy. If you want cheap sensationalist crap without any relationship to fact or truth watch a commercial station.

Currant Affairs shows are about as real as Big Brother.
The only reason the're on, is because people like watching crap.
Turn it off.

a couple of weeks ago there was a news report on trucks in melborne and they had a camera in a ladies small car filming out the back at a truck following her on one of the freeways the woman was saying she was travelling at 80 ks and the truck was right up her klacker which was parly right as the truck was getting closer and then dropping back which i put down to the lady driver being more interested in the rear vision mirror that she didnt realise her speed was going up and down by maybe 5-6 ks thus the poor old trucky gets the blame as he has to ajust to her erractic driving this is all happening in the right hand lane so the trucky indicates to the left and starts to move into the left lane at the same time a meercedes car moves from the left hand lane into the same lane the trucky is going the truck clips the right rear of the car which then turns it side ways into the front of the truck and gets pushed along side ways for quite a distance the camera in the front car catches this footage and turns onto the lady driver who is now watching in the rear vision mirror and not the road ahead abusing the truck driver the camera crew later caught up with the merc driver and every body put all the blame on the trucky what made me laugh was the merc driver saying the only thing that saved his life was he was driving a merc im a trucky and have had the same thing happen with a little old lady in a old laser and she survived shacken no injuries and only a small ding on the car the media said they will give the film to the coppers so the trucky can be done but from what i saw it was the medias fault along with lady driver in front of the truck.

I see tonight Richard that ch 7 carried reports with video of two more jeeps burning to the ground from owners who thought theirs was a "one off case " as well, until they saw the first report.

The federal minster chris pearce has now ordered an ACC investigation
