I’m pissed off with the way TV programmes keep matching presenters and reporters to the subject they’re covering.
A story about disability apparently needs a disabled reporter. An interview with the Scottish football team at the 2026 World Cup apparently needs a Scottish presenter. It’s bloody ridiculous.
I’m not sure “positive discrimination” is quite the right term. It feels more like forced representation or identity matching. Either way, surely the best person for the job should be the person who gets it.
Got a thought on this? Share this post or say hello elsewhere online.
