Hard News: The Advocate, in reply to Lilith __,
when done badly, personal stories can be selected and/or shaped to fit a convenient narrative.
Nature of news/current affairs production is they're always selected and shaped. The integrity of the selectors/shapers becomes even more important, and over time viewers judge for ourselves where they are coming from. Any pretence of 'objectivity' is just industry-sanctioned journalistic cowardice.
I value that Campbell Live has a strong, cohesive tone no matter who is reporting - a tribute to their producer and one another. That tone is bound to put off some potential viewers, but at least it's honest.

There's also telly, music, dance, visual arts and other funded culture. Sport even, perhaps?

Holmes was interested in people he saw as like himself.
Because well-off old white men have such a hard time getting their view across in our media otherwise. #sob

we all now know who was right and who was wrong
That the actors' union muffed the beginning of the process, you mean? That the govt and producers lied and colluded? I doubt you'll find things were as black and white here as you remember them, Sanc.

Cracker: Weapons of Mass Production, in reply to Russell Brown,
Thanks to Sacha for the heads-up.
Welcome.
I recommend us all using the 'Report' link that shows up when you point to the bottom left corner of any comment. Otherwise might take a while before Russell happens to read about it.
