NicolasHunter500 Review of A Current Affair

A Current Affair (1971– )

What is exactly the purpose of this show? and what in the world is any intelligent person meant to take away from it?

[7 December 2012]

This is even more rubbish on Australian television. This is not really news, Just like today and tonight, almost every episode of this show seems to center on revolting, nasty white trash with no redeeming qualities or intelligence. On this show, each night you get to see them beat each other up, swear at each other, see reporters harass and stalk people and see hoons burn out their tyres. The show doesn't ever seem to deliver any real insight into whatever topic it reports on, and besides nearly never reporting on subjects that actually affect people's lives it seems to relish in exploiting legions of beer swilling, racist, drunken morons and their ridiculous affairs. The show is almost jerry springer without crowds of people laughing in the background. Oh wait, this show IS jerry springer without the background audiences clapping or cheering on. This show manages to just show off the worst of Australian society while being as subtle as a jackhammer, and being as tasteless and sensationalistic as journalism can get. For example, the one common story that appears usually every month in this show are neighborhood wars, where we get to witness an endless onslaught of profanity, stupidity and violence. What is anyone supposed to take away form this? This show is not only tasteless and irrelevant, but its boring. Its simply too shallow and narrow minded to be interesting or entertaining. A current affair is just simply a trash reality television show pretending to be journalistic or important.
