Here's to the end of tabloid current affairs

]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 10:44:47 UTC 7041510 Mr Stephen Madden [Signature #32] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/5608810?utm_medium=rss Couldn't agree more. The couple of times I have been unfortunate enough to be stuck watching it, I have seen nothing but irrelevant stories, despiciable bias, incompetently misrepresented figures, and a total lack of journalistic capability. Noone needs programs like this.

]]> Wed, 3 Jun 2009 07:19:05 UTC 5608810 Mr Oliver Shead [Signature #31] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4950795?utm_medium=rss What a good idea. I find the shows seem to lower the IQ of anyone watching them!

]]> Tue, 17 Feb 2009 12:43:16 UTC 4950795 Ms. Barbara Bambrick [Signature #30] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4891350?utm_medium=rss Yes, I totally agree with this petition, as both Today Tonight and A Current Affair are trash TV and maximize disaster. They minimize good, valuable news of people who are making a difference. Both shows are unbelievable biased.

]]> Fri, 6 Feb 2009 04:16:52 UTC 4891350 mr Gaetano De Luca [Signature #29] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4890925?utm_medium=rss Fri, 6 Feb 2009 01:20:33 UTC 4890925 Miss Monique wright [Signature #28] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4889762?utm_medium=rss Yeah lets get the rubbish off the telly

These shows are nothing more than titillation for the sake of sensation.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 05:50:30 UTC 4889389 Mrs Caroline Collen [Signature #25] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4889300?utm_medium=rss There is so much going on with many real issues that need correction and so many under our nose agendas that you could inform the public of that would actually do some good I do not know why you bother with allk the above. Do some real good and get your teeth i nto the meaty things.I would urge you to really do some good and expose the things that really effect the whole race.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 05:29:49 UTC 4889300 Anonymous [Signature #24] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4889267?utm_medium=rss I totally agree with this petition, these shows are unbelievable, unjournalistic, unmorale and it has no purpose for society.

A fare of trivialities or sensationalised distortions is not what we need and want in a current affairs program. Enough is enough.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 04:33:11 UTC 4884631 Mr Derek Hayward [Signature #21] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4884588?utm_medium=rss I would like to see these programes made more accountable for their tabloid sensationalism

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 04:20:59 UTC 4884588 Mr Stephen Maszlagi [Signature #20] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4884390?utm_medium=rss Some of the articles that I have seen on TT and ACA are obviously badly skewed or biased. I believe that such low level journalism should not be allowed under the baner of free speech. We shouldn't be free to twist the truth.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 03:26:22 UTC 4884390 Mrs Kim FitzGerald [Signature #19] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4884316?utm_medium=rss I would certainly like to see more factual and truthful programs.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 01:49:43 UTC 4884139 Mr Peter Mousiol [Signature #17] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883897?utm_medium=rss I had enough of tabloid television such as Today Tonight and A Current Affair. Either make serious changes to these programs, or the Australian public will call for both programs to be axed.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 12:45:36 UTC 4883897 Mr Harry Assadourian [Signature #16] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883869?utm_medium=rss Why don't you have more inspiring stories rather than negative ones.

]]> Thu, 5 Feb 2009 12:37:53 UTC 4883869 Ken Klaebe [Signature #15] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883705?utm_medium=rss I agree- it is very biassed on many occasions- not very informative, but tries to be sensational

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 11:44:26 UTC 4883705 Rene Els [Signature #14] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883703?utm_medium=rss I agree. They turn the story for thier own benefit (to get more people viweing thier show)

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 11:42:55 UTC 4883703 MR Anonymous [Signature #13] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883638?utm_medium=rss I DONT WANT THESE SHOWS ON ANYMORE

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 11:17:14 UTC 4883638 Mr Roger Campbell [Signature #12] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883405?utm_medium=rss GREAT PETITION

THESE TWO SHOWS ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!

I PUT IN A VERY CRITICAL COMMENT ABOUT
A TODAY TONIGHT SHOW AND I GOT A THREATENING LETTER BACK FROM THEIR LEGAL DEPARTMENT. HOW ARROGANT IS THAT?

THE BEST TACTING IS TO TURN IT OFF AND TELL OTHERS TO DO THE SAME

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 10:08:57 UTC 4883405 Ms Cecile Vowles [Signature #11] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883388?utm_medium=rss Often these programs manifest prejudice and reactivity. They are not jounalism but entertainment journalism.

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 10:02:46 UTC 4883388 Mr Tom Grimshaw [Signature #10] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883386?utm_medium=rss I voted with my feet years ago and do not watch the shows but I sometimes see trailers for them and agree wholeheartedly with the text of the petition.

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 10:02:14 UTC 4883386 Mr Ian Jones [Signature #9] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4883330?utm_medium=rss Hello. Like the Judicial system holding and maintaining their hefty incomes through continuous crime and not allowing a No Tolerance factor come into society as a rule, so does the media feed off pushing sensationalism and lies to drum up interest. Channel 7 and 9 ought to have their day in court somehow in regard to NOT telling the whole story and having the freedom to trash other people's religion GOES right against the Declaration of Human Rights. Thanks.

What perverse pleasure do they obtain by propagating all that rubbish?.
I'd like to obtain some opinions about my comments.

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 06:04:30 UTC 4882546 Mr Cyrus Brooks [Signature #6] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4882248?utm_medium=rss Add to this: Shows denigrating Muslims, Catholics, Scientologists, Moonies, and so on, are not news. Especially as they are universally one-sided.

]]> Wed, 4 Feb 2009 04:59:45 UTC 4882248 Mrs Anne Smith [Signature #5] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/4415667?utm_medium=rss All these programs tell me is if I dont have my phone plan with a certain telco, Im getting ripped off. Or if my mortgage isnt below a certain rate, Im getting ripped off. Or if my Super isnt with a certain fund, Im getting ripped off. Or if I dont shop at the right supermarket, in the right suburb, buying the correct brands Im getting ripped off. Could they make one feel any more inferior, inadequate or a total failure??
Gave up on them years ago, will not return until I see a vast improvemen
