Ray Martin, like the TV programmers he talks about, obviously lives in a different world if he thinks Media Watch only went after his programs because they were popular. Ray, you’d never have appeared on Media Watch if those programs weren’t also, at times, exploitative and loose with the facts.
Oh, and Harry M Miller on integrity?? Hahahahahahaha. That’s gold!

Media Watch goes after people with lots of hair and popular programs. The same person who said this expects people to waste valuable life reading hundreds of pages about him.

Hearing Miller mention integrity and advertising agency in the same sentence reminds me of the XXX rated er, viral which was doing the rounds in 08 of some saucy messages he left on an ad agency’s voicemail system.
