I watch Channel 7 on Youtube.

Australians don't do funny clips like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, do they? It's all serious.

Gracetown eh?  Seems to be the "summer bay" of WA.



And now come the calls to "kill the sharks".

I'm pretty sure nobody has ever been killed by a shark on dry land.

Stay out of the water people, and the sharks won't kill you.

Next problem ...

Let's predict the "news" on Channel 7 tonight, shall we?

"Two planes don't collide"

"Shark swims in the ocean"

"Football team plays football"

"Weather happens, and cars have to turn on windscreen wipers"


Thanks Rick and Sue: what would we do without you?

You're not wrong. It's that trite and eye-glazing here in Sydney too.

The 'news' opens with a 'sporting personality' (footy player) having to front up to court for drunken violence.

Then the 'news' moves to a car crash in one of the suburbs ... (Yes, pictures of a crashed car, you lucky people!).

After that the 'news' moves to a bush fire somewhere, and that's when you know there's going to be no respite from endless footage of leaping flames accompanied by a long series of interviews with people saying the absolute smacking obvious.

The 'news' services are a damned disgrace that pander to the least educated and the most gormless.

Thank God for the Internet.

And for SBS and for the ABC, if you can filter out the left bias.
The private media don't provide news services, they provide crime, accident and celebrity highlights. But they must sell.

Rick and Sue will be all over this:

"A house in Tuart Hill has received significant damage after it was hit by a car in the early hours of Saturday morning."

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/tuart-hill-home-damaged-by-car-20131214-2zdt9....

They just love "cars going through the front fence" stories.

If a shark ever drives a car into a house, Channel 7 will have a meltdown.

People have walked on the moon ... and yet still no personal electronic shark repellant for the swimmers at our beaches.

Unbelievable.

It's the same with cancer ~ still no cure.

A tough choice ahead for the newscasters.

What will be tonights lead story:

Another dude gets murdered by a young gutter punk

or

It's hot today.

Too close to call at the moment.

Hmmm, too close indeed.

I'm going with "It was hot today, and Jolimont was on fire!".

Unless, of course, there was a shark swimming in the ocean.

I was leaning towards "it's hot" too, on the grounds that it's a weekend, and the weekend "news" crew knows from experience they can sit around filming shielas at the beach and pass it off as a "how perth beat the heat" story.

Jolimont fire, It's hot, followed by another dude gets murdered.

Sheilas at the beach were a couple of tattooed kiwi gals.

Photo of a "bloke" in a wheelbarrow filled with ice was a nice touch.

Too hot for sharks, obviously.

Bound to be an extended bulletin tonight:

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/former-west-coast-eagle-ben-cousins-charged-in...

If a shark is spotted swimming in the ocean, Channel 7 could end up having a two hour bulletin.

Another extended bulletin tonight.

http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/ben-cousins-exeagle-reportedly-in-mental-care-...

Rick Ardon will probably report from the grounds of Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital.

(Unless a shark is spotted in the ocean - or we have weather)

They're tackling all the big stories tonight:

- monkeys escape from zoo

- bogans' flights delayed from Bali

- some footballer did something

Good grief   Roll Eyes
