ITV - Proving unoriginality = profit

[Bob The Skutter]

What really bugs me is the ITV 'news.' People complain about BBC's bias but ITV's sensationalism is maybe more damaging.

ITV News is like the British equivilent of FOX News. Terrible OTT tabloid Daily Mail-esque shite.
Tonight with Trevor McDonald is like watching Brass Eye

Wouldn't that make ITV News like The Day Today?

 

[Ethros]

Well I remember their coverage of the Iraq conflict was almost exactly like the WAR episode of The Day Today

The Daily Mail and General Trust actually owns 20% of ITN, and the brother of Daily Mail editor Paul Dacre was a news editor for them.

But then again, ITN makes the Channel 4 News too..
