Why Can't Our Today Show Be Like That?

It sure seems like the Today Show in Australia is much more interesting to watch then the one over here.  

While American viewers can watch Matt Lauer ride a bike, Australian viewers were getting a double douse of news. 

While reporting on a controversy surrounding the suspension of Queensland police officers, Australia’s Today reporter Aislin Kriukelis became the foreground to a dramatic arrest going on behind her. 

It was two news stories for the price of one.

Let's go to the video:

While reporting on a controversy surrounding the suspension of Queensland police officers, Australia's Today reporter Aislin Kriukelis became the foreground to a dramatic arrest. Although the unidentified arrestee was already in custody before appearing on-screen, he began shouting wildly into the camera, forcing the two officers to struggle to restrain him.
