But the 50-minute report – … failed to communicate key facts and ignored the basic journalistic practice of balance and rights of reply.
That's being polite .. it was nothing more than "lying by omission" with factual errors.

You’ll get more accurate news from a 7 year old than Channel 7.
It’s bullshit for idiots.
Who would have guessed that a former Shell employee would do a hit piece on renewable energy. Fill it with complete lies and then never be held to account.
Spotlight is such a massive stain for Channel 7, this show is the whole reason I stopped watching 7 entirely. Ever since they did the peice on transgender minors a few years ago and how much misinformation and how ridiculously biased it was, I was done. How am I meant to trust 7News and Today tonight afterwards?
They love to advertise it all throughout the week, and yet it’s just pure filth for people that won’t do any further research on the topic.
Anyone who seriously considers channel 7 as quality journalism get what they deserve
B..b..b…but base load power! Grazing!
What’s even on 7? Other than the cricket in summer (which is less and less on FTA anyway) i cant think of one show 7 has.
Channel 7 is just a medium to pay for Lehrmann and BRS’s legal fees.
