QUESTIONABLE LEAD

CNC 3, we're still trying to figure out why you led your 7pm newscast with that press release from the Prime Minister's office denying that PM Manning had any knowledge of a government minister being under the microscope of the Integrity Commission.
If he said he knew about it, then that would have been an easy lead story.
TV6's producer used good judgement and used that story after their first break. They also had a much better lead story with the exodus of Picton residents.

But once again, Samantha John fails to tell us that her co-anchor Cherise D'Abadie is not going to be joining her.
Look, if the woman is on vacation, then just say so. But how can your managers just abandon the format of the show by going from two anchors to one without batting an eye?
As far as we see, they can draft in Bobbi Jeffrey-Hicks or newcomer Diane Baldeo to fill Cherise's place until she returns.
But oh gosh, say something nah?!
