I heard that the former sports editor at NBN once told a local sporting identity "Mate your grandstand could be burning down and we still wouldn't send a camera out".
As much as I dislike it, I get why they cover the Knights. Why we need to hear about every team in Sydney, every night, is beyond me though.
I remember the time that NBN news used to give all codes a crack on the news - League, Union, Football, Basketball, Aussie Rules, Netball, even bloody Lawn Bowls! Now it's just a joke. No wonder so many local sporting organisations are producing stuff online, NBN are trying to make most codes vanish to appease their NRL overlords.
Mainstream media is f***ed.
Switched over to sunrise after sbs coverage finished just in time for the 8:30 news.
So far, they've covered afl drugs scandal, violence prior to the World Cup "where 600 people performed", hockey, gave away a caravan to some gypo and now they are now getting a guy in a Cow suit to give money away.
No mention of World Cup game/result.
Oh yay, next is women's rushing syndrome. Pass. F**k this shit.
It's def that way for the Olympics. Was wondering the same for WC then remember someone telling me that ch9 morning show cut live into Aus v Srbia back in 2010 when Holman scored and we looked like making up the goal diff to qualify.
I'd say it's more that commercial networks are all shitcunce and don't give a toss.
Waking up before your alarm, especially when it's set for 1am.
Did you seriously call Bill O'Reilly real, honest and media??
You have rocks in your head plague
That right wing f*cktard and the rest of the lunatics in that asylum that passes for a news network keep Colbert and Stewart winning Emmys every year.

nah m8. O'Reilly, Alan Jones etc have always looked out for the little bloke (Alex Jones is looking after your right to randomly kill everyone but thats a little different).
most of those other channels wont let you watch unless you have an arts degree or have your union/socialist party membership dues paid up.
plus it says it right there on the ads, "Fox News, fair and balanced" so it must be yeah?
i dont know who kyle sandilands is but exactly 50% of all kyles ive ever met have been wankers so ill def tread carefully round that bloke.
John Hunter Hospital incompetance
SBS commentry and lame WC show. bring on SSE
Working a quick shift into a double and missing Germany.
Arrive home at 1am, need to be back up at 7 knowing I won't get home until 10pm at the earliest.
Looks like I'll have to see Germany vs Portugal on replay. I expect Germany to be strong and Portugal to pass it to Ronaldo. Would prefer Ibrahimovic's men playing.
i watched 5 minutes of it last night. truly, truly terrible.
