Yep and they showed the hightlights. Can you recall any highlights from PVO?

Thought the finale was great, especially the montage packages, all the feels! So much nostalgia. Having the originals back was also nice (a shame Charlie couldnāt actually be there and the link delay) 
Not to be critical, but IMO, the very end couldāve been a tad better, such as the crew and returning guests walking onto the set clapping with a bouquet of flowers, then panning and fading around the studio.
And finishing with like what The Circleās finale did in 2012 (last 1min in video - test pattern and static animations followed by the Ten production ender):
And a full-screen Roving ender (not often seen since BTG and Rove days):

Poor Sarah. She took over when the show was already dead anyway so she didnāt kill it.

Lisa herself was a low light.
Thatās such a cliche. Also, The Project is not a daytime show aimed at women. Iām glad they didnāt do that.

Know her personally do we David?
If she was as bad and people claim and they made a conscious decision to include her, I mean she canāt have been that bad. They also had nice words to say about her too, which they were under no obligation to do so?
His departure wasnāt smooth. You canāt write a scathing column about the network and expect to be welcomed back.
I reckon he would have been a personality that would have clashed with many behind and on camera. He likes to create the news. That wonāt go down well.
Thatās a bit unfair. This same station/studio did just this when the legendary Mal Walden retired after half more than century of broadcasting at the end of 2013.
Okay, letās focus on the project ending and not make it all about you, Rob.

Is that why 7 fired you from Inside Media?
Lisa is a very big part of why/when this show started to die. They never really recovered from it. Iām not saying sheās completely to blame but she was definitely a reason.

So how do you view Sky News then? Well balanced journalism?

Thatās fine. I have also been puzzled by the economics of the program for a while, but presumably 10 wanted a loss leader in the early evening to bolster the rest of its line up.
You were pretty quick to make a political point about its failure though, which is neither here nor there. Plenty of āanti-wokeā media outlets and programs have flopped. A loss of any media jobs, regardless of the editorial line taken by management, shouldnāt be seen as a āwinā.
I also donāt think dancing on the grave of a program that has a diversity of views is the political win conservatives think it is. Steve Price got a microphone on the Project. Similarly Greg Sheridan from The Australian also mourned the end of Q+A because he believed it gave him a way to find common ground across the aisle and make meaningful progress towards a popular consensus.

No offence but theres a difference between not liking the show and making an informed decision and not watching the show and critiquing it based on someone elseās view.
Its like the misconception people had of SBS that people watched it for its risque content when in fact it has many interesting programs such as Insight.
People are entitled to an opinion, but if you havent watched a program, you judge it based on someone elses biases

Are you referring to the Project? Are you drinking the cool aid of Sky News and their agenda to label everything woke? And here I thought you were one of the good guys in the media.
Yes you should be criticised for supporting anyone that have used the Nazi salute. Quite frank that makes you look just as bad, and then coming here to justify it. Low bro.

You guys are assuming these people havenāt watched the show though.
100% agree
It was a wonderful farewell to a groundbreaking show.

Why because there was court action? I donāt get the correlation around thatā¦ yes it out the show in the spotlight but that doesnāt mean 100 people working in it were bad because of it.
Do you equate the whole of the seven network for going down hill because of Ben Robert Smith being supported by intially the network but mostly Kerry Stokes?
Iād love to see what you think about all of the other presenters in the networks if you ever met them, boy are there some doozies out there that you have no idea what they are actually likeā¦
I donāt think Lisa is perfect. But I also think there was a bit of a media pile on around that time and show itself copped a lot of unfair criticism because of the situation.
And he was on there for well over a decade too.
Itās interesting as there is so much focus on what show is left, what is right etc. there arenāt many platforms now in programs that allow opposing views to have discussion without it being labelled as X or Y of that person. The media as a whole now seems to have an issue with balance of opposing views in a forum to talk and discuss like you said, to try to come to a consensus. Or even to the idea of allow other people to hear opposing views in the sense that it may understand their point even though they donāt have to agree to it.
