Nobody would have even noticed but now this should guarantee lots of free publicity for The Feed.

Oh poor Alan. What a hypocrite. Heā€™s spent years defaming people and now when someone mocks him he sues.

Such a nasty human considering all the stuff heā€™s said about others that went on the air during his career. Now someone says something a little OTT about him and he whinges about it being unfair :roll_eyes:

SBS has just filed its defence, denying the meanings claimed by Jonesā€™ lawyers and pleading honest opinion; a truth defence; that other meanings in the broadcast which were more damaging to Jones are true; and finally that Jonesā€™ reputation is so bad he couldnā€™t be damaged by SBSā€™ broadcast.

SBS also denied the meanings claimed by Jones, pleaded the defence of honest opinion, and asserted that Jonesā€™ reputation was already so bad it could not be damaged by the broadcast.

:grinning:

A statement issued by Jonesā€™ lawyers, Gillis Delaney, on Thursday, said the veteran broadcaster was pleased to announce the proceedings had resolved by agreement on a number of terms, including that the segment is permanently taken down, ā€œavoiding the need for the delay and costs of any final hearing.ā€

The Feed takes a deep dive into the murky world of social media influencers. In a wild experiment, journalist Calliste Weitenberg and producer Elise Potaka build a fake influencer persona to see if they can cash in on whatā€™s now a $15 billion dollar industry. Documenting the process over six months, the series examines the rise of a new frontier in advertising, where influencers are paid or given contra to spruik products. Everyone is out to make a buck, but at what cost?

Pandemicland

Tuesday 3 August at 10:00 PM

Whatā€™s it like to come of age in a pandemic? Navigating your teenage years and early 20s is scary at the best of times, so itā€™s even harder during lockdowns, border closures and forced isolation.

Filmed over the course of ten months, The Feed gets intimate and personal access into the lives of four diverse young Australians during the biggest year of their lives. Ciang is a 21-year-old aspiring comedian in Melbourne who dreams of signing a deal with Netflix but is stuck practising stand-up in his bedroom. An up-and-coming rugby star from a coastal NSW town, 18-year-old Cooper is caught between his own ideas of masculinity and the loss of two friends to suicide. 16-year-old Samantha is a promising young dancer in Sydney, whose goal to attend prestigious European dance schools may be cut short by injury and border closures. In regional Victoria, 14-year old Mercedes weighs up the gut-wrenching decision to give up her dream to become a professional boxer, so she can get a job to support her refugee mother. A story of hope and resilience, Pandemicland is a beautiful and inspiring glimpse into the lives of the generation that will shape the post-COVID world.

The 2021 finale is this Tuesday (November 9) at 10pm.

The island looks like paradise, but it hides a lethal secret. Meet the Aboriginal mayor fighting to re-open a pub in his community to prevent the scourge of deadly homebrew alcohol. Mornington Island in North Queensland seems like an idyllic location, but addiction to homebrew alcohol in what should be a dry community is sending residents to an early grave. But is re-opening the pub really the answer?

The Feed - Time To Buy

Tuesday 08 March 10:00 PM

The Feedā€™s comedy team has joined forces with Tom Cardy to make an episode-length original musical about the Australian housing market. Time to Buy follows Jo and Erin, two millennials trying to buy their first home. Itā€™s an all-singing, all-dancing fever dream featuring dodgy landlords, predatory lenders, fawning real estate agents and a virtual chat bot in the middle of an existential crisis. The musical sees Jo and Erin come head-to-head with a pair of baby boomers with their eyes on the same property. Can they hope to beat them at auction? And if they do, will Jo and Erinā€™s relationship survive the stress? Time to Buy is a brand-new Australian musical about love, money and negative gearing, featuring some of the finest comedy and musical talent in the country. The Feed regulars Vic Zerbst, Jenna Owen and Alex Lee are joined by Montaigne (Eurovision), Tom Cardy (Triple J Hottest 100), Susie Youssef (The Project), Marty Alix (Hamilton) and Rob Carlton (Paper Giants).

The show returns for 2022 tomorrow at 10pm.

Probably not unexpected. Itā€™s not what it used to be.
