Frontline - Point-Scoring and Emotional Manipulation

Frontline was a brilliant Australian comedy show which satirised TV current affairs programs and reporting. Over ten years on, it's still not only hilariously funny, but also a disturbingly accurate take on television "journalism".

In this clip from the 1997 episode "The Art of the Interview", Prowsey (Steve Bisley) explains some more of the tricks and tactics of current affairs interviews, from point-scoring to fuelling the emotional fire.
