Channel 10 gets caught by the Streisand Effect

 
On Monday 28 January 2013, in a month which saw Australia wracked by bushfires and floods, @TenLateNews tweeted this…..
 
Once the fingers stopped typing the Channel 10 crew apparently had second thoughts and deleted this monumentally inappropriate tweet. Thereby ensuring it was going to be picked up and amplified by the Twitterverse.
 
Hers is a small sample:

A bunch of ol' farts fall for the oldest trick in the book - a nonsense survey question from a TV channel


What on earth are they trying to measure?
Even I knew at first glance that attempting to correlate Julia Gillard’s prime ministership with a simple period of time and nothing else was a broadly-worded but emotionally loaded closed question which can’t give a reliable answer:

“The most negative groups were men (57% worse) and those aged 55+ (61% worse).”

Free TV fails bush viewers


Techno dinosaur Southern Cross Television's viewers don't rate

Channel Ten has been crowing about its fantastic new 24/7 sports channel, Channel One .

Fantastic?

New?

Well, it might be IF viewers live in metropolitan areas.

Channel Ten's programs in the bush are broadcast by the techno dinosaur Southern Cross Television, which reckons it will have things together by July.

Here's a tip: Given Southern Cross's track record, punters should take the odds that it will start showing One programs after Christmas ... perhaps!
