Except for anyone who actually watched today, the PM's interview at 8am was about that 'Donate A Day' campaign, whilst a worthy cause, is NOT news! The bit of the interview that has been played over news outlets everywhere today about superinjunctions wasn't until after the local news at 8.15 - SURELY it should have been the other way around?!


I know it's not like David Cameron has country to run and a whole list of other engagments.


He doesn't run it by himself, he's just the figurehead for the government, and prime ministers always appear on this kind of show. Its their only real way to connect with the public with a human angle.

I don't understand your point. From what I gather, the interview was done in two parts with the regional news in between. Talking about the super-injunctions before the Donate a Day wouldn't affect Cameron in the slightest.

I haven't seen it, but I hope to later... Status Quo were doing their performance from the south bank, and were miming, proved by the fact the CD skipped on 3 occasions, leading Daybreak to be cut early to Lorraine.

If you actually read my post that is irrelevant. Do you seriously think I don't know what a PM does? He was there for the WHOLE 30 minutes - my points was that they should have talked about the news story first, the superinjunction saga, and their donate a day campaign second, not the other way round.

Which is great, I'm not arguing that. But they shouldn't pretend they are 'setting the day's agenda' if they themselves are leading with the wrong story!! For a viewer that is grossly misleading.


I do agree with what you're saying, but getting the right content right at the minute is priority over running order. Its better to have such things after the 8.15 regional news than not at all.


That is very true, hopefully they'll get it right in the end...

My apologies, I thought you meant that they did other coverage about the super injunction after the PM interview as I had stopped watching by 8:15. In regards to that, the original subject which the PM was booked for is the charity appeal not to talk about footballers who can’t control themselves so I think they should have ran the campaign first especially when every other ounce of the day’s news was focused around that story.

Oh dear... :/ Ah well! Looks good there from The South Bank though. Maybe they should do more like that? And how many cans of Red Bull do the handheld cameramen have in the morning?...

Yeh, you're right. When every other outlet is talking about the main news of the day, ITV's premier breakfast programme should ignore it until later on, that's what viewers want. Well, the few viewers they have left anyway......

It seems to me if a program wants to be taken seriously as "News Setting" then the lead item at 7:30 this morning shouldn't be Cheryl Cole rumoured to be sacked from X Factor.

Why not? On the BBC News website it was the most viewed news story of the day. Therefore, Daybreak are reporting the news story that viewers are most interested in.
