Yeah but

The stuff they had you doing was lame! Can you get back to doing stuff like the brilliant things you did in the ABC?

A truly dignified statement Mark. Maybe 7 could expand their horizons for a late night variety news segment with various forms of added entertainment with you at the helm🤔

Television is pretty much dead Mark so there is no loss there. I still listen to radio from time to time and podcasts are still a thing. I'm sure there is a niche for you somewhere. Maybe team up with @thejuicemedia.bsky.social ?

Linton could only manage the wry grin of a man defeated fair and square on his own turf. Well done!

I could never understand why you worked for CH 7 , who is watching? You would have been better working for the SBS Food channel.

Don't make me take sides between you and MW.

Mediawatch is great but extremely smug.

juz.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's a feature not a bug!

The smugness makes it; that's why the barrister Stuart Littlemore was so pitch-perfect as host. One moment that's always stuck with me:

VO (CHASTENED MEDIA FIGURE): So we got it wrong, and I'm not sure where that leaves us.
LITTLEMORE: Up shit creek, I would have thought.

(I remember watching that as a kid and thinking "Wow, they can do that?")

Never bettered as MW host

David Marr and Paul Barry are close runners up but Stuart Littlemore KC is the undisputed 👑.

"The most important thing in life is a sense of humour". I laughed at that statement.

Bring back The Roast TV!!

The 6.57pm News was the best news of the day. Sorry that I did watch it online though. Probably did not help, but that is the only way I can watch the news these days!
