In Brisbane, a major news channel asked some Brisbane polo players if they could interview them and film them playing polo on a saturday morning a few weeks back.
Everyone turned up at 7am to be filmed, and obviously included in the interview information about how the Brisbane Councillor had sponsored the nationals to be held there last year, and how wonderful that was, blah blah blah.
Instead of using any footage from that day, they cut up some vids of the Nationals 2010 and made this one instead

Everyone is mostly laughing it off in Aus, but it actually makes me feel quite sad that such a negative attitude would be chosen for the report. Boo, australian journalism. I know channel 7 news isn't a likely candidate for the Walklies, but still sad.
