I watched it too. I really don't know how journalists like that can sleep at night.

This, and Gareth Evans' speech from his Deputy leader of the Opposition days to the AIPS on 'Politics and the Media Circus'.

Media Watch itself is one of the most biased shows on TV.
what the hell?
how so? it is an unbiased critic of ALL media.....actually, it mostly criticises the abc (the network on which it is aired)

Well, The Australian would take issue with such a statement. Search google using the following string to see for yourself - site:.news.com.au "media watch" files

this sort of stuff is so fucked up.

i mean if it was just today tonight beating up anything then i wouldnt care.

but in the current political climate this is ridiculous. talking about creating a culture of fear. i feel sorry for all the muslims who are going to suffer because of some cheap ratings grab.

spot on.

tt and aca aren't even good enough for the trash cans. funny (or rather, troubling) thing is, people watch, and believe. then these red necks assault and abuse muslim women wearing the head scarf because they should "integrate" and stop wearing the head scarf since it's "unaustralian".

I never watched tt and aca before year 12 cos they were so bad. But after this frontline module i literally cringe at their promos. Although i am getting addicted to media watch :p

you can't blame people for believing though. when i first saw it i thought 'oh today tonight has managed to find some random muslim youths that dont represent the majority at all'. But this wasnt even true. Although we should expect people to go in with a critical eye to whatever theyre told, you cannot expect them to be able to tell what is truth and what is lies. the media has an obligation to deliver the truth, you can't blame people for believing what theyre told. You have to blame the people who are telling the lies.
