Media Watch's Reportage Undermined By ABC Online

The ABC is an interesting organization in its diversity and breadth of its content all interlinked. With ABC’s TV, radio, and online services all providing content for one another, it is truly impressive to watch each distinct media form interacting with one another.

As such, it is interesting to watch the manner by which ABC Online is undoing the fine work of ABC1′s Media Watch.

This week Media Watch ripped into 2DayFM for their on-air stunts and the relative low brow nature of them. Media Watch questioned their ethics in putting to air segments such as a competition in which a man was to view four womens vaginas in studio and determine which belonged to his girlfriend.

Now, there is a delicious sense of irony that ABC Online have opted to sensationalize the Media Watch story by putting a framegrab of four g-string clad ladies on its site as a means to entice people to click on the Media Watch story link.

The ‘Best of abc.net.au’? Well, I guess that is really just a point of view.
