Propriety, and the laws of defamation, prevent me from writing about ABC TV’s The Drum that which so richly deserves to be written.
This show takes smug, self-righteous, self-aggrandising broadcasting to a level not even attempted by unwatchable commercial networks’ current affairs shows.
If you’re unfamiliar with it, as I fervently hope you are, The Drum is a prime-time, hour-long space-filler, hosted in turn by Ellen Fanning, Julia Baird and occasionally by Stan Grant.
