In this current media climate yes its all about hating men. Look how they are going after Sam Burgess now. Agree Tom would have been better on sport but they need that Melbourne connection with not many sports presenters to choose from.

Random thought, considering since 2010 Channel 9 has used the Today show host as their anchors for each Federal Election (2010, 2013 & 2016), do we think Georgie and Deb will host for this years election?
When Mel went from Sunrise, Channel 7 changed from having their Sunrise hosts as anchors for their coverage.

I reckon Nine will probably choose a combination like Peter Overton & Allison Langdon to present their coverage of the State & Federal Elections.

I agree. Wouldnât be a bad combo either.
Well, youâre full of contradictions. You must be very confused.
What does a footballer who has split from his wife following a sexting scandal that involved a woman who was not his wife, have anything to do with A TV host being dumped for infuriating his colleagues and his bosses?

Hardly âall about hating menâ in Burgessâs case. He left his wife one month other the birth of their child following a sexting scandal. He deserves all he gets.

had nothing to do with the sexting scandal. Read the Telegraph on Sunday. It was about family issues stemming from their wedding.
Because the Telegraph always gets it right and is not a dubious gossip rag? 
Sure. It had nothing to do with footballers playing up.

Because the Telegraph had a 2 page story with all the protagonists and others involved. It was confirmed by multiple people.
As the Telegraph usually does, as do the Daily Mail, Womanâs Day and New Idea but often turns out to be at best sketchy and at worst blatant lies. Maybe Karl can do an exlusive interview with Burgess for ACA.

Agree they should go with a refined on-air look for the next incarnation of the show, smaller supers and more subtle colour pallet would be ideal.

Yes please.
However, news.com.au can now reveal that Knight was not the first choice for network executives, who had someone else in mind.
âBrenton Ragless was meant to get the gig,â a senior television source said. âBut he knocked it back for family reasons so Nine had to go back to the drawing board.â

I usually like Shannon Molloy but this article is recycled garbage, nothing that we didnât already know.
Move onâŚ
Article seemed OK to me but it was a surprise to read that no-one is giving interviews ahead of the re-launch. The media are clearly hungry for new info on the show and a few interviews perhaps exclusive could easily feed their apatite and provide some positive media.

I feel sorry for Deb. Second fiddle for so long then finally gets the gig and again she got it because a man said no.

Why feel sorry, she should be congratulated instead. A win is a win, a gig is a gig. No one will remember who turns it down a few weeks from now. Itâs the same thing with film projects. The actors who ended up in the film are not always the first choice and sometimes the films are better for it.
