An Australian current affair program.
The quality of news and current affairs programs is typically quite poor, relying on fear mongering and general misinformation and disinformation plus the stupidity of the general public to get and maintain viewership.
A Current Affair makes all those shows look positively honest and award-winning, taking fear-mongering and bs to absurd heights/depths. Between uninformed, populist attacks on businesses, going after tradies, shoving microphones and cameras in the faces of neighbours they want to shame, there is nothing they won't stoop to.
Sadder still is that there's people out there who believe their crap.
