Election 2022 (Poll added)

That's true to a large extent but a quick check of the journalists background or relationships will often identify that bias.
What I'm concerned about is the 'gotcha' type of questioning that seems to be the sport of some of the journalists these days.
It's a game to them, and it's getting sillier, and they're egging each other on.
I'm expecting it to degenerate into questions like "What is the capital of the Solomon Islands?"

Just a reminder it's not a Labor /LNP thing...Morrison was targeted with a price of groceries question early in (or just before) the campaign.
Another stupid question... because the price can differ significantly depending on the brand.

I've noticed overnight it's become a bit of an issue, with others now pointing out how silly (and poor) it's become.

The rules that apply to political reporting apply to sports reporting and all reporting, it's no longer professional, the aim is to collect hits and all you need is a twatter type grab to achieve your goal.

Perhaps we should stop referring to them as journalists and start calling them by what Murdoch has made them, bloggers.

I find it quite amusing that people write me off as paranoid about the way Carlton seems to be treated in the media, dismissing any suggestion of a media bias as my navy blue perspective, then many of the same posters spend time highlighting how the media is biased in the political debates!
