The Chaser: A pre-emptive apology
Ordinarily, Dr Mumbo wouldn’t have been at all surprised at receiving a press release from the ABC apologising for The Chaser. However the team’s new show, The Chaser’s Media Circus, doesn’t start broadcasting until next month.
But no harm in getting the apology in early, Dr Mumbo reckons.
ABC APOLOGISES FOR THE CHASER’S MEDIA CIRCUS
ABC TV has today issued a pre-emptive apology for the whole series of the Chaser team’s new show, The Chaser’s Media Circus, which starts on ABC on Wednesday 15 October at 8.30pm and continues for 8 weeks.
These guys do some nasty work. The cancer child was the nail in the coffin for a lot of viewers. They could barely say the words sorry. Still the ABC (taxpayer) funds the dribble the commercials wont pay for.
Nasty work? If you’re a right wing hardcore, sure. For most normal people, they’re doing what plenty of mainstream media have so far failed in – holding the government and public figures to account… and exposing the rubbish state of the media itself.
God forbid we all just believe everything we’re told and read…
I’d suggest a media-jam like 8 Mile but with mainly white people and a token black guy breaking in to the Aussie media.
Looking forward to it. With only ten minutes of political satire a day courtesy of The Roast, I need a greater feed!
andrew Hansen better be starring!
