Dokter’s Weekly Report #10

Posted by

This week I’m having a jab at journalism in Australia. My first experience with the media here was an ad for an upcoming episode of Today Tonight. I turned to the missus and asked, “is this satire?” Sadly it is not. It was so over-the-top silly I didn’t take it serious. What is actually sadder is that there are people here who take shows like Today Tonight and ACA serious.

The best way, I have learned, to judge the standard of journalism within a country is to look at the absolute lowest form of rubbish that passes for journalism.

By looking at TT and ACA, not forgetting their lovely shock-jocks, the standard i pretty low here, unfortunately.

It is worth mentioning that there are some rather good sources of journalism here too. Downside is that they don’t get that much attention, nor applaud for what they add to the media landscape here.

What is holden the better part of the media back in Australia is their obsession of putting up a clean fight. It’s so clean it is a more powerful sleeping aid than Stilnoct. Stop waving your bloody finger while saying they’re “naughty.”

What this country needs is someone to shake things up a bit, be progress, yet professional. Willing to get dirty, but come out clean after the fight is over.

That was a really nice half-a-bottle of wine.

Good night,
and good luck.

This must be the mildest form of ‘undercover reporting’ I’ve ever come across. Only withholding that you’re a journalist. Sadly not surprising that the journo is being criticised for it.

Criticise someone for being selfish and you’re the one being a dick. You know what you are? You’re fucking comedian!

I always found it cringeworthy when someone was accused of being a PC-Police*. I will never use that term, as I find it kind of pathetic, but I’m starting to understand where they are coming from.

Everyone seems to be offended these days. Doesn’t matter if you try to be diplomatic or a cunt about it. If you make a comment about their statement, which they don’t approve of, you are suddenly the one that is being a selfish arsehole and ruining for everyone else.

So if I comment on what someone has said or written– regardless of my tone –and they kick-up a stink about it. The gloves are coming off! No holds barred!

If you put something out there for the public to access. People will have opinions about it.
Deal with it, princess!
