That image of Erin they overlaid over an old 9 News image looks terrible, wow.

Looks like Nine News won the ratings battle in Melbourne across the afternoon and 6pm. Will try to put together a table of that market.

It’s a joke, I know it’s 9News Melbourne. I’m surprised everyone thought I was clickbaiting lol. If it was a real news service then I would title it that way. Seeing this is a Gippsland-based headline, I thought it would be funny.

So only the best jokes like this come around April Fools? Wow.

So no one got the joke apart from you. That’s fine. No need to get so butthurt.

In his/hers/their defence, i think this forum would already know if it was a real thing, would we not?

Is that Ashlea Brown, who used to report for Ten News Sydney around 15 years ago?

The Australian reports today that a fiery internal stoush has erupted at the ABC over whether to run “unflattering” images of Erin Patterson, taken as she arrived at court back in May. Despite legal restrictions lifting after Patterson was found guilty of triple murder on Monday, the ABC’s editorial policy manager Mark Maley ordered the wire photos (shot by Martin Keep for Agence France-Presse) be shelved, citing concern for her “privacy” and “distress.”

Correct, she was also a reporter on Seven News Sydney not very long ago.

I guess the next question is…how long before this guy releases an episode on this case.

I give it 3 to 6 months.

Gruen made a couple of references to mushrooms tonight.

The Front Bar went all out with Beef Wellington served (but on different plates) plus jokes about a conjugal visit to a prison in Morwell.

Meanwhile on MasterChef tonight

Bad timing - considering it was well and truly taped earlier in the year. :rofl:

I wonder if they used Babish’s recipe? https:// www. youtube .com/ watch?v=BagY2Mnz-TU
