Weird: network that ‘didn’t need’ journalists enough to pay them properly, completely fucks up Olympics coverage while journalists are on strike

Strange scenes from Channel 9 who are copping widespread criticism for their disastrous handling of the Olympics while their journalists are on strike after the bosses were sure they don’t need to pay the journos properly.

The strike action came as Channel 9, which is currently turning a profit, recently laid off many journalists with rumours they may cut many more so they can focus more money where they feel it is needed most: sending their bosses on fancy trips around the world.

“To say that we cheaped out on the Olympics coverage is false,” said 9’s CEO while eating caviar in Paris, “we spent more on Scott Cam than what it would have cost to send a team of sports journalists. That is how committed we are to the games.”

“And who wants to hear from sport journalists who know what they are talking about anyway, we have Karl Stefanovic still!”
