Agreed. Seven needs to really beef up the strengths of their Sydney-based reporters to rival Nine’s team, and I think this is a really good opportunity.
Does it really matter which foreign reporter they send? As long as they get the reports done, then it doesn’t matter who they send (as long as it’s not some idiot reporter).

appearing on Fox and Friends and no doubt making perfect sense to their viewers!
As the motive behind Sunday night’s massacre in Las Vegas remains unclear, forensic psychiatrist Dr. Michael Welner suggested that gunman Stephen Paddock may have deliberately targeted conservatives and that CNN was partly to blame.
Welner went on to assert that “CNN is going to have to answer for how they demonize gun enthusiasts and how CNN actually contributes to mass shootings.”
