Australian MSM needs to give itself an uppercut. Whenever a public figure acts inappropriately, the act itself is replayed time and again, complete with handwringing tut tutting, it makes me sick.
Exhibit A) AFL footballer flips the bird at dressing room camera. The troubled star as he is labelled is publicly chastised on every network, by anyone with an opinion. Typically with the old fashioned, these guys are roll models, how could they sanctimonious crap. What gets me is to add weight to their point the replay the incident, over and over. If you don't want kids to repeat this sort of behaviour, why keep showing it.
Exhibit B) Chasers War on Everything. Brilliant show, goes off the mark with a sketch aimed at the Make a Wish Foundation. I never saw the original when it went to air. Never fear every other network tried to grab ratings and down the ABC's by showing the juicy bits repeatedly.
Aussie Media, grow up. It's fine to condemn behaviour, but by repeatedly replaying it, you condone more than you condemn me thinks.
