Stanhope Pawns himself

Saw it. I twisted my ankle in the rush to get to the PC and email “Media Watch”.

Dear Monica,

Why o why don’t you return my emails? Can it be thousands of others are submitting the same tips as me? I thought we had started something special, but now I just wish Stuart Littlemore would take me back. But he knows I emailed Paul Barry (shhhh, it’s embarassing so don’t tell anyone).

Anyways, there’s this guy called John Stanhope. You know – the one Piers Akerman makes the half-joke about being President of the Republic of Canberra every second column or “Insiders” episode.

John’s done a soundbite for the local Channel Nine News here in the ACT, saying how much he adores their craft. This could make make an interesting Mediawatch – are there any other political endorsements like this?

Toodles!

PS – I’ve sent the same tip to “Today Tonight”. They’re always exposing bad celebrity endorsements. It’s the same kind of thing.

PPS – I’ll let you know if Anna Coren says “hi”.

WTF?! do WIN have better local news? I dunno – I only read theriotact

anyway who cares – was just another annoying add getting in the way of fantastic Kiwi sensationalist doco Neighbourhood Sh!tFiGHT!
WIN should do up a local version – I know a few houses that could carry the season themselves

Yep I saw the ad. Yet another reason to
a) Not vote for Stanhope
b) Never watch Win Television ever again.

Seriously, who at Win thought that Stanhope actually has enough respect left in the community that having him whore himself for their advertising would have any benefit?

i think you’ll find quite a few of them have.
