I watched Australian commercial TV for the first time in 10 years last week. Most of the news stories had less content and were less well produced than this one.

I didn’t expect much content from Australian commercial TV news but I did not understand why they couldn’t make their reports look as good as those produced overseas.

I will check in another 10 years.

It depresses me how few people in Australia know who Charlie Brooker is…the man is a genius and a must-know for anyone in this industry. Get with the times Australia.
