This evening I received a flurry of text messages regarding my cameo on Media Watch… Now, I didn’t see the show, but it was all about a Today Tonight story that ran a couple of weeks ago…
I was warned by smart people to think twice before giving tabloid TV the time of day…
If anyone saw Media Watch, I’d love to hear your take on it (I’ll have to see it online tomorrow…). Apparently an interview I recently did for the program was used to ’spice up’ a story Today Tonight had run twice already.

Poor baby. I hate it when traditional media drag us unsuspectingly into one of their beat up stories. *pats Tim on the head* BTW everything I ever learnt about media I learnt from Today Tonight
