Things are being done about those other things, maybe not enough but they are being tackled.

There is a difference between 'accidents' and murder, I'm sure you can see that.

If by "being tackled" you mean speed cameras and drug busts and politicians grandstanding next to victims of domestic violence, then No, I don't see a difference.
Pollies are also grandstanding against terrorism; Police parade hooded terror suspects and ISIL sympathisers past news cameras; ...
Neither make any significant dent in the number of dead and maimed.

Pretty well spot on Pixel. No one is looking at root causes, poverty, lack of education, religion, arms manufacture and protecting oil currencies.

Only took an hour to carry out risk assessments and equity evaluations, between the Malaysian Air plane landing and the coppers entering the cabin.

The troops managed to subdue the already bound and disabled wannabe bomber and the brass are rightly claiming a victory for the coppers.

I guess we're all unreliable narrators in our own special ways.

Yeppers...

subsequent caller claimed ISIL responsibility.
Why does the press have to give these loonies any airspace? Wouldn't it be smarter to counterbalance the public's "Right To Know" by toning down the publicity those morons crave and depend on? A single paragraph in the petty crime section of the local newspaper is the most they'd rate IMO. And for the benefit of would-be followers, maybe add some "alternative facts", like "the man's body was disposed of unceremoniously with offal at a nearby piggery."

Yes our Government is locked in a time warp, you can't have access to more than 75% of the population, but the internet has access to everyone.
What a bunch of idiots, it is easy to see why our economy is on the rocks, the politicians are thick.
Don't worry, when we are down to the ABC as the only free to air, there will be plenty of offshore stations that will start broadcasting.
I hope we can charge them a licensing fee when it happens.

I just read this in an "on line article",
But while Ten can't afford the huge salaries of yore, it doesn't want to lose Waleed Aly or Carrie Bickmore, either.
Well as a TEN share holder, they would be first I would suggest they off load, the ABC could beef up the Q & A panel with them.
How the hell they could keep pushing niche demographic content, at the expense of a broadcasting station, is beyond me, and as I said I'm a share holder. Sadly

People are still watching FTA tellie?

Most of us ignore saturation advertising content on web pages, so it's a no brainer that revenue source will be low and falling for commercial TV stations. Compounding the problem for Ten, is it's continued targetting of the extreme youth and airheads among the X gens .... viewers who have no desire to concentrate on product messages, they have no desire to absorb anything at all ... just the pleasure of watching talking heads laugh at their own relentless juvenile humour.

Niche marketing has run its cause and mass marketting is the recycled new

 

[Logique]

Big spending on US Network shows that nobody watches eg NCIS, Madam Secretary, This is Us. And The Biggest Loser went nowhere.

Only themselves to blame. I'd suggest they'll cling on to The Project right to the very last. So it will be an "..extreme youth and airheads" fiesta!

Sandra Sully is Ten's best network asset, and perhaps the only safe job.

The saddest, most horrible news. The man tortured by North Koreans has died. God knows what they did to him. I felt sick reading about such depravity.

And put him out like he was trash being exported to the USA. Disgusting behaviour and deserves retribution.
