World News strikes back: SBS the sequel
October 24, 2006
The plot thickens; last night a mysterious pro Macdonalds infomercial-come-news story rounded off SBS’s World News Australia, however tonight a damming report on the evils of fast food in France brought the news program to an end. Maybe this is a new kind of balanced news, where different nights of the week have different levels of corporate interest behind them. Is this pure coincidence? Or did someone some where want to make a point about the previous nights slip in broadcasting standards by combating the story with an opposing one?
Deep suspicions have been triggered, and it will be interesting to see if this features on media watch this week.
