Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Frontline (Better known as Breaking News in the USA) is a satirical Australian sitcom that looks at the unscrupulous manipulation that goes on in the high-pressure world of television journalism. It ran for three seasons from 1994 to 1997. (Coincidentally, Frontline is also the title of a long-running American documentary series on PBS.) It was created by the team that would later become known as Working Dog Productions.Just like any other current affairs programme on Australian commercial television, Frontline has its share of sensationalism, controversy, and cynical manipulation of the truth. It combined actual current events such as the First Gulf War with a funny and thought-provoking analysis of topics such as how the media treats people and events and how minorities are stereotyped.All in the pursuit of ratings.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the aforementioned PBS news program - the show is called "Behind the Frontline" when broadcast in North America for this reason. Also not to be confused with a different series called Breaking News that aired in 2002 on Bravo, nor with a flea treatment for cats and dogs. Also also not to be confused with the American series Lateline or the Canadian series The Newsroom (1996), which share a very similar premise but are otherwise unrelated. | |

Mike Moore, Frontline's host. Mike considers himself a serious journalist. He is alone in this opinion, as everyone else thinks he's an egomaniacal half-wit with absolutely no grasp of current events at all. | |
