Amused by the television this morning.
BBC news leads with ITV in financial crisis. £105 million pre-tax loss, selling a website for £25million that they paid upwards of £175 million for.... You know, general bad news about their rival.
I was staying in a hotel in Watford (oh, the glamour), so I could change channel without the usual cacophony of "can we watch cbeebies?" or "can we watch milkshake?" that is usually surrounding any attempt to watch news in the morning. Mind you, as an aside, Jen off of milkshake....
Sorry.
Anyway, I swapped channels over to ITV to watch their news, just to see if they reported the impending financial Armageddon of their organisation in the same semi-gleeful tones.
Imagine my surprise when they didn't lead with the same story.
They lead with a strange piece about the "Australian woman believed to hold vital clues to Madeleine McCann's abduction". Yeah, that fictional Australian woman.
Next story....
I kid you not.
A dog had 18 puppies, they sent a complete outside broadcast unit to investigate - live.
Don't worry viewers, we aren't in financial melt down honest, look at the puppies....
