LOW-RENT TV CELEB STORIES FASTER VIA BLOG
You read this here a week ago:
ABC television personality and host Tony Squires will switch to a commercial station next year after accepting an offer he just couldn't refuse.
Mr Squires, who hosts the popular sports chat program The Fat, will take up a contract with the Seven Network in 2004.
The print edition of The Daily Telegraph ran a ridiculous EXCLUSIVE banner on their week-late coverage. They’ve been picked up by Media Watch for doing this sort of thing before. Then again, Media Watch doesn’t exactly acknowledge all of its sources, either.

Posted by: adam at July 6, 2003 at 01:00 PMRead the Media Watch guestbook, Adam. It's pretty clear MW pursued the Carlton story as a result of it being mentioned here first.
Posted by: tim at July 6, 2003 at 02:51 PMand i suppose when you mentioned the byrd-kkk thing to media watch, you cited where you'd first heard of byrd's past, or in the alternative you did the historical research yourself? also, a link would be good.
Posted by: adam at July 6, 2003 at 03:35 PMGo to www.abc.net.au, click on the alphabetical program listings, find Media Watch, click "guestbook", and scroll away. Interestingly, at first Media Watch seemed to reject the Carlton item as being worth any attention.
I did cite where I'd heard of Byrd's past. A link is a cite.

Posted by: bailz at July 6, 2003 at 05:09 PMno no, i mean, a link to a page of the guestbook would be good.
