Its more like Women's Weekly gossip, don't know why the media bother giving it air time.
Traditional media have been in existential crisis for years. Unsurprising that they've turned to melodrama and rumourmongering to generate better profits. They're just giving people what they want. Whom do you hate? There's likely to be a media organisation dedicated to making them look bad.

We have enough melodrama and rumourmongering around here after a loss,

No, they are creating gossip which they then translate into clicks online and on social media.

For evidence, refer their ratings, Fox subscriptions in the media and pay are deteriorating rapidly which proves they are not giving people what hey want.

You're talking about a single organisation. If they've changed their content it is no doubt in response to declining revenue. Just like every other mainstream media group which is moving toward editorialising instead of just reporting the news.

When you're going broke there's no room for the moral high ground.

Its exactly as Pou says .... they spend f**k loads analysing what makes people click - then they play up to it .... you can blame THEM for it, but it is as much what the general population WANTS as anything. People lap gossipy rumours up. Thats the current world we live in.

By subscriptions you are talking what? pay tv subscribers? Subscriptions declining is more a product of there being more alternatives now than anything - and people being picky what they spend their hard earned on. Not long ago foxtel was the only option for movies, drama, sport - its spreading to all sorts of places now for all those different areas - its going to wittle down their subscribers for various different reasons

you are saying that they are NOT giving people what they want ..... I think they ARE identifying what people like to click on and giving them more of it

the pay tv thing is a completely different situation to mainstream media

Hooper repeating everything Lara said in his big mans voice as if its his words. What a f wit.
Kent going on about Henry Ford. Obviously the guys got stuck in his time machine and never worked with a union workforce. My God these guys are dumb. Yes. Lara and Ikin the only ones making sense.
