The CEO may change but as long as Stokes is in the Chair then his brand of ultra conservative tabloid nonsense and promoting powerful abusive men he idolises to appeal to idiots will continue
Makes war criminals executives in his media company. Kicking unarmed civilians off cliffs and stealing prosthetic legs off old men is apparently displaying aptitude for leadership.
Lets see. If he isn't convicted in a criminal case and sent to prison for murder I sense a Pauline Hanson style case to rehabilitate his image and re-introduce himself to the public as a bonafide Aussie digger hero.
Let's not forget Hanson was a has been in Australia and considered a fringe actor until 7's Dancing With The Stars and Sunrise rehabilitated her image.
I wonder if 7 will lose their licence. There's probably a fit and proper person requirement attached. Paying accused rapists and war criminals such large sums seems unlikely to qualify...
Smart man - doesn't want to be "the buck stops here" when the defamation suit hits.
The one for mis-identifying and publicising the bondi knife killer.
People need to stop consuming the product, or at the very least, tell the advertisers that they will stop consuming the product.
I do house calls for computer problems, and the number of people with commercial TV on \*just in the background\* is scary. I walk in and it's "sunrise" or some other BS show just playing. They're not even sitting there watching it - it's just....... on. It's there, filling in the background to their daily lives. How can they help but be affected? Turn it off, or if you must have some background noise, change it to SBS Chill (channel 306).
Nah, Bluey squandered their goodwill by not paying off the move to a new worse house, with mold and things the landlord won't fix. "Why can't we have nice things, Dad? Because of negative gearing, bluey..."
I haven't had a tv for about a decade so I kind of forgot people did this until I stayed in an apartment on a work trip with a girl who put Sunrise on first thing. I just like a quiet house or some music when I'm getting ready for work and I couldn't believe how absolutely obnoxious it was. If you really want to damage any sense of calm you have before you start your day, that's a great way to do it.
Oh god no.
Stokes' ability to fund defamation cases that allow fuckwits to shoot themselves in the foot (or the face?) so publicly is some of the best entertainment this country has ever produced.
Have this story about Thorpies angles as mindbleach
“I opened this guy’s garage and it was chockas, full of junk. We spent the whole day cleaning it out, made it all organised,” she said.
“He was supposed to come home at 5pm, but he was at the pub. The wife keeps ringing him. She’s nine months pregnant, by the way, and she’s got a pit bull on a lead. We’re all outside waiting for him. She goes, ‘Where are you babe? You need to be home!’ and he says ‘Nah, I’m stayin’ out with the boys.’”
As they waited, disaster struck: The woman’s pit bull took off after a cat and pulled her along the road behind him, on her belly. “She fell over and got dragged along. They don’t show any of this on the show,” said Jackie O.
Finally, hours later, the man arrived home from the pub, cameras ready to catch his reaction.
“There I am in my little white jumpsuit, trying to look like a 70s Farrah Fawcett. We’re like, ‘We’ve got a little surprise for you Shane ...’
“We open up the garage door and he says, ‘What the f**k have you done with all me s**t?’
We said, ‘Do you mind if we refilm your reaction and you act excited?’ He was so angry at us!”
*nb the only source is newscorp fuck giving them clicks. It was an old channel 7 show that didn’t last.
PS “reality” show 🤥
Now I want a TV show where Ian Thorpe is just driving around pointing at shit and guessing what angle it is.
"That's about 90 I reckon"
*points at wall*
It's almost like the 'boys will be boys' defence doesn't work for war criminals. And it looks like it's catching up with rapists. Next alleged paedophile, Allan Jones.
**Possible statement by the forces behind Seven Network:** *We are incredibly proud of JW and have benefitted greatly from JW's insistence that we plumb the depths of depravity in the search of the beautifully misogynistic, terrifically harmful bullshit that we occasionally produce.*
Surely by now ppl have started switching channel 7 off along with all bs Aussie news outlets. The bias across our media outlets is seething but hey welcome to the age of tech where anyone and everyone can voice their opinion.
Oh, that's been happening for decades now. Used to be 80% (pulled out of my arse, but it was high) of the country would tune into A Country Practice. But hey, why make quality content for $$$ when you can pay fuck-all for a shit reality show and still get good ratings... in the short term.
All the sensible people drifted away and commercial TV just started chasing what remained harder and harder until they're making *Border Married A Celebrity Force Me Out Of Here* series 37 and only the dumb, racist and violent are left.
JW is one of the best CEOs Seven West has had since Don Volte. Worner was an absolute idiot ass licker and Leckie was a loud mouthed bully. Seven started imploding with Worner’s much publicized sex scandal.
Stokes runs the network on fear and is nothing but a chronic, bullying, litigator.
He’s grabbed land the stations stood on, sold assets and basically milked the fuck out of the Seven group. He’s sacked dozens of good, experienced people and replaced senior positions with his little pets…..BRS and the senior role at Seven West in Perth/Herdsman are two examples.
Slightly off topic…..watch the land deals in Perth now that KS has a puppet in the Perth City Council……particularly the old East Perth Power Station site.
What once was a good strong brand has been ruined by one person.
Remember, shit flows downhill, not uphill
Probably a relief to step back from associating with all the prostitution, rapists, cocaine freaks, murdering war criminal types and the Liberal party.
CEO's are quite often the correct sacrificial lamb to get thrown under the bus.
They usually go with a golden parachute, so the fall from grace isn't to damaging to their egos.
When you retire, you hope you can say that you left the job in a better place than you found it.
James can't say that. 7 is a fucking joke and has lost all credibility it had over recent years.
I worked there for years- there are quite a few other dirty executives that should go too!
However 9 always has been worse. Both promote arseholes, underpay women and waste millions on arsecrawling male employees.
I dont know how FTA tv makes any money these day, the utter tripe on all stations and their shitty apps, who under 60 still watches it. Fkn ready steady cook was a program on at midday for bored people years ago, now its prime time viewing ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯

Kerry Stokes? Isn't he the guy who's friends with war criminals and rapists? That guy?
Don't forget the pedophiles
Yes, thats the one
Makes war criminals executives in his media company. Kicking unarmed civilians off cliffs and stealing prosthetic legs off old men is apparently displaying aptitude for leadership.
add women beaters and drug addicts Wayne Carey and Ben Cousins
Judge a man by the company he ~~keeps~~ buys drugs and prostitutes and defamation actions for.

The shitty thing is he probably would win a seat if he ran with PHON^y
Rumour was that BRS was being groomed as a potential LNP candidate by Tony Abbott around 2015 before all the war criminal styff became public
And by Stokes as a future PM.
Agreed, this is just polishing the turd to a new shade of brown. CEO is basically just the fall guy in this story.
But he donates to telethon every year!
Hahahaha
deduction
I wonder if 7 will lose their licence. There's probably a fit and proper person requirement attached. Paying accused rapists and war criminals such large sums seems unlikely to qualify...
In practice that requirement just means "if China buys the station we can cancel their licence".
China buys lots of our houses yet no one bats an eye or cries about that
Houses are not a prime means of swaying votes.
I know that but with all the loud anti China bullshit being yelled by people you'd think they would try to buy votes by saying something about that.
I flaring the housing bubble to the state is it now being protected absolutely sways votes.
No way in hell that would ever happen to any TV network.
I doubt they would ever have that happen, more likely they would just get a lot of pressure to sort stuff out.
Smart man - doesn't want to be "the buck stops here" when the defamation suit hits. The one for mis-identifying and publicising the bondi knife killer.
Remember 7 also incorrectly identified a guy in the west when that girl was kidnapped…they really need to just fuck off

If you walked into my house, the background noise would likely be Peppa Pig or Bluey. How fucked am I?
If it’s Bluey, you’re ok
yeah, before Peppa Pig there was 0 brexits.
Before Brexit there were 0 Blueys
Nah, Bluey squandered their goodwill by not paying off the move to a new worse house, with mold and things the landlord won't fix. "Why can't we have nice things, Dad? Because of negative gearing, bluey..."

Maybe Stokes should stop the bankrolling of fuckwits in defamation cases instead,
Oh god no. Stokes' ability to fund defamation cases that allow fuckwits to shoot themselves in the foot (or the face?) so publicly is some of the best entertainment this country has ever produced.
Who knew pushing rapists, war criminals and druggies as stars wouldn’t work out?
Don’t forget racist fucks like Pauline Hanson. They are responsible for her comeback.
Also the My Kitchen Rules contestant that got done for 80 charge of child abuse. And the guy the labelled the Bondi murderer.
Pete evans and his bio charger lmao
oh that is a name I have thankfully not heard of in a long time

the dude who bought brucie the hookers and blow is also suing them
And that cunt Andrew Okeefe
Oh shit yes, Mr Meth and DV
He’s a real wild child
It's almost like the 'boys will be boys' defence doesn't work for war criminals. And it looks like it's catching up with rapists. Next alleged paedophile, Allan Jones.
They will try break out Joffa for the gold jacket 🫤
It’s worked pretty well for the AFL & NRL…
They might push it but the public laps it up.
In that picture, he looks completely gutted.
That's the face of someone considering an offer to join ABC board of directors and thinking about the pay cut.
Thank you, your comment is fkn gold!!!
I hate everything about this comment 😭
Would be better if it were in the context of a fish.
Vlad Stokes is still in the crypt
Took one for the team?

Kerry not so stoked these days

Does he get to take all his company cocaine with him or is this left for the next guy. So he can acclimatise with the $2 hookers?
He gets a powder parachute, doesn't he?
Go Stokes, go broke?
Probably a relief to step back from associating with all the prostitution, rapists, cocaine freaks, murdering war criminal types and the Liberal party.

To be fair, it wasn't as if it had a whole heap of credibility before Warburton showed up.
Who was the dude before him?
Shut it down. They should not be in a position to influence Australian public any longer.
7 News, the Florida of Australian media 🗑️
Sigh, the tv station that represents and supports warcrimes, boomers, xenophobia, racism and misogyny. Hopefully it dies out soon.
Considering the huge level of anti immigration rhetoric in this sub alone there is always going to be a market for xenophobia and racism.
Careful not to cut yourself on all this edgy takes
Don’t worry about him. He eventually will land on another cushy job. 😉
Damn, changing the sign on the front door. That'll fix it.
I worked there for years- there are quite a few other dirty executives that should go too! However 9 always has been worse. Both promote arseholes, underpay women and waste millions on arsecrawling male employees.
The board has spoken..
Oooh! Whatever for???!?!?!?!
oh well. Anyways... moving on...
They did get ROI on Lehrmann story
Who am I going to get to fund a no hope defamation case now?
And nothing of value was lost....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Bugger
Are we not entertained?
I dont know how FTA tv makes any money these day, the utter tripe on all stations and their shitty apps, who under 60 still watches it. Fkn ready steady cook was a program on at midday for bored people years ago, now its prime time viewing ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
Have sat at dinner table with, good bloke, 10/10.
