Is that like, "Doing your own research"?

Hang on I thought you were new here....? 😒

Waleed Aly ticks all those boxes

"The rise of creator media has been a boon for those who peddle bull****, as bias and bull**** are core features of what wins our attention on social media.

It turns out that when you migrate our entire news media ecosystem on to platforms that map on to our emotional wiring, you are inadvertently building Karl’s podcast. To be successful in this attention economy, the platforms have decided that anger, outrage and controversy rules. That negative attention counts as much as positive engagement. That one must act like a cancelled free speech warrior, even when one may not be. In other words, it’s the algorithms, stupid."

Whoever replaces Karl will need to ooze monoculture. It's the future!

No idea what trust in science or lack there-of has to do with Channel Nine's Tipping Point, Today show or Karl Stefanovic.

Maybe, I suppose, the thrill of predicting what is gonna fall during Tipping Point might amuse some, but it ain't quite the same as analysing, say, a multi-storey building tipping after being struck by an aeroplane or two.

This whole thread seems to be unravelling, slowly, strand-by-strand.

The initial claim was that Today is Channel Nine's top rating show after Tipping Point. But even Channel Nine says this isn't so. Apparently Channel Nine claims it's top rating shows are NRL Grand Final, Married at First Sight, The Block, A Current Affair, Golden Bachelor and Love Island Australia. When you have quality entertainment like that who even needs Karl ?

I know... why doesn't channel 9 apoint Jillian Segal for the Today show anchor. This antisemitism thing really need far more attention.

It's hardly mentioned anymore.

The problem for Channel 9's Today program is that Australia has a lack of young unashamed monoculture, zionist, pedophile billionaires . Someone who can relate with their audience.

I was thinking John Michael Houson, Mark Latham, Alan Jones, or that guy from 'Hey Dad' but they are too old. Plenty of contenders with some suitable attributes.

If there was someone young with all those attributes- that would work for them.

Given the alleged financial troubles of Australian commercial TV networks why wouldn't Channel Nine combined their top shows into one super-show ?

It could be re-branded Today's Tipping Point, hosted by somebody who fell over the edge long, long ago - the one and only Barnaby Joyce.

You wouldn't find Sarah Abo stepping out of line - Barnaby would make sure everyone was SID-DOWN.

Combining Channel Nine's flagship morning program Today with the high-stakes arcade game show Tipping Point would not work due to major clashes in tone, target audiences, and format. Here are the reasons why Today's Tipping Point would fail:

Clashing formats: Today is a fast-paced news and current affairs show, whereas Tipping Point is a relaxed, puzzle-based game show. You cannot easily transition from a serious political interview to dropping physical coins into a moving machine.

Conflicting audiences: Today attracts viewers who want weather, finance, and breaking world news while getting ready for work. A game show appeals to people who want light entertainment, meaning both audiences would become frustrated.

Unpredictable scheduling: Breakfast TV requires a strict clock to ensure people see the news on time. Game shows depend on the unpredictable length of rounds and contestants' choices, which would ruin the morning news schedule.

Format pacing: Today covers a wide mix of short, 3-to-5 minute segments. A game show requires sustained focus on one set of contestants for half an hour or more, causing the morning flow to drag.

Unsuitable host personality: Barnaby Joyce is a polarising, highly partisan political figure. A morning show relies on broad, friendly, and impartial hosts who act as neutral companions for the whole family, while game shows require highly energetic, impartial emcees.

Definitely the guy from Hey Dad

Tipping Point, just behind AFL, two News and FIFA.

Given the importance of this question to Australian national identity perhaps a better place to pose it than Seabreeze.com.au/forums would be in the forthcoming National Census 2026 ?

Right under the question :
#49) Are you or have you ever been an antisemite
could be the question
#50) Who should be the new host of Today - channel 9's flagship program after tipping point?

I feel a question of more significance and urgency for Seabreeze.com.au/forums users is :

Who should replace Bonominator as Carantoc's biatch on Seabreeze.com.au's flagship forum?


Meh, then again I think maybees we all know the answer to that already.
