Unreal journalism
Early this year, a disaster nearly befell the Australian media when Seven contemplated ditching Today Tonight.
Which would have been a pity, as it would have robbed the public of journalism like this:
When Helen Kapalos intros a report with the phrase “It’s easy to see why journalists get a bad name”, you know you’re about to watch something special.
Unreal Julia indeed.
This is just appalling trash.

Maybe this is what Joe Hockey meant when he said the PMs visit to Western Sydney was a fake…

I can’t even begin to be not surprised. Haven’t watched their shitty show (or the other one) for about 20 years.
Journalism (as it is supposed to be done) is about reporting the news.
Not making it.
Not predicting it.
Not manufacturing it.
Dumbing down?…
People turning off to look for interesting stuff online?
Fat bastards in programming departments surprised?

Going to go against the grain here – that’s the first quality piece I’ve seen on Today Tonight, ever. That sheila playing Julia was funny! They always fail at real journalism anyway, so should be encouraged to not take it seriously in the first place.

They’re probably hoping this will go viral.

i thought the ACA story on Hillsong Church was bad. This is worst!
absolutely no credibility in both of these shows. why bother watching?

What is this shit? When are they going to do a Fake Abbott trip around the burbs for balance?
Pack of idiots.

It was a mock up although, not dissimilar to the antics shown by the ‘real’ PM in Western Sydney…

It wasn’t that bad.
I though that actor did an almost plausible job of pretending to be a serious journalist.

Hmmm. So bad it was good.

That was really funny. If the Chaser had done that you’d all be laughing.
