DISQUS

The Media Report on RN did a story on the Dart Centre at the start of the year.

There's a transcript on their website, no audio.

@Bolden, it's polite to use someone's full name when referring to them, Marieke 'Dead to Me' Whatsername please.

Is anyone having any luck finding an archive of December TV listings?

As usual, a great segment with James this month; with the usual ethical dilemma thrown in - this time regarding the Britney Spears story, in particular the paparazzi car chase on the wrong side of the road:

Josh : As a journalist, how do you separate yourself from the people who would obviously also call themselves journalists who are doing these exploitation [pieces]... in [the Britney Spears] case there seems to be a very definite line but there is that chance you’re all going to get lumped into the same batch?

James: I think, as a rule, [conduct endangering lives] would be about where that line is.

Ross: So if Britney came to London, what would you be doing?

James: Christ... Wishing I wasn’t in London [...] I guess we would be doing the story; which means I would be doing a piece to camera from outside whatever hotel she was staying at or wherever else she might be.

Ross: [Or] institution?

James: Yeah, potentially, but I don’t like the thought of that; certainly there’d be no chasing going on.

Josh: Okay, I think that’s an important line; I think that makes a lot of sense.

James: Other people might say that that’s a false line; that we shouldn’t be standing outside whatever institution she’s in either.

Isn’t it possible that the media’s presence outside a mental institution, with all the people, cameras and lights, could be endangering lives?

Sorry James, your commie ethics set you up for this; I’m sure Bryan Seymour and Dylan Howard never struggle with these questions.

I think the, so called, sound problems were actually a subliminal message from Ross telling us who we should vote for, and why we should do so.

I’m only half way through the episode, so am still undecided.

The files will only play Windows based PCs, they still don't get it.

NBC have ruled out DivX enabled DVD-Players, Macs and iPods, among others.

I think the networks have got along way to go before Channel Bittorrent starts losing viewers.

Naomi Robson? Channel 7 is full but she'd be ideal as the dregs of Channel 9.
