[QUOTE=OneOfOne;546234]One thing I find incredibly annoying is when I am watching the "news" part of the news and the first two or three articles are "sport" (some footy club has signed up some monkey from another club...more in the sport section of the bulletin, or some old codger has announced his retirement as coach...more about this in the sport section of the news).

Hear, bloody hear!!!!! Outta be a law! 'Nuff said on THAT!

My whinge:
The cat-up-tree bilge that passes as news here is just woeful. When its not some coked up footballer bashing eight bells out of his skank girlfriend, it's some politico opens a train station, grumpy d*** complains about electricity. Pensioners car stolen.... hoon drivers....'Truckies".... "Bikies"....Immigrants.....Clim ate Change,....Immigrant hoon bikies causing climate change....and my all time fave for the ninth year running: So-and-so's POSSIBLE connection to Islamic "extremists".
You could watch last June's news and not notice the difference.

More woeful is the ABC who should know better. Not only do they repeat the same drivel (but in more stentorious tones) but with all their broadcast stations you only get the one 'news'
Every single, sodding, ABC Radio station has EXACTLY the same news at the same time. WTH????
Double worser, is "The World Today" where the fist 50 minutes of the hour are taken with....Australian news! The same stuff that was on 30 seconds ago, but with more people talking about it.
Ditto SBS evening news. Like something from the Humanties faculty at a second rate Uni.
I miss the Beeb.
