And it constantly surprises how little digging business journalists from the Australian or AFR do into Rex.
That's because the moribund media with their swag of 'aviation experts' (you know to whom I'm referring LOL) find it much easier to just bash Qantas or Virgin or both. They never dig into anything. Media in this country is largely a complete joke, with the exception perhaps of some good journalistic practices with the likes of Four Corners and a few others.
The rest is glitz, puff and piffle. Every commercial news bulletin (and to an extent the ABC as well) follow the same formula; one story about a politician 'slamming' another (their favourite word is 'slam'), a lost dog story, a crying family, an over-exaggerated story about crime and some nonsense fluff that is not news to round it out.
If you don't believe me, I cite Seven's recent boning (to coin a phrase) of newsreaders and their replacement on the major bulletin with a bloody astrologer - FFS; what's next, ditching the health news segment and replacing it with a message from the Tooth Fairy?
