"[Current Affairs TV shows] still rate really well in Australia. They do hard reporting (but) they have a kind of tabloid magazine format. Morally, they go beyond the pale a lot of times. There's trickery involved in getting stories. They'll pay money, you know, as we've seen with Bruce Lehrmann. But ethically, they fall short at times and the networks get sued."

I watched 7 Sharp recently. It was mostly promotion disguised as news. Not sure we're really getting bang for buck considering what gets spent making these shows.
