Page "Frontline (Australian TV series)" Paragraph 8

The ABC's media review show Media Watch featured in the show.

Much of the real life journalistic misconduct reported on Media Watch later appeared on Frontline in fictionalised form.

One example of this was when Media Watch reported that Dave " Sluggo " Richardson had made a highly misleading report on Christopher Skase for Today Tonight.

Richardson was suspended from duty for a month, and in the One Rule for One episode of Frontline, fictional reporter Martin di Stasio is suspended for a month for doing exactly the same thing.
