A tale of two Matt Dorans
ABC political reporter, who shares the same name as Seven presenter, throws out a cheeky line.

Exhibit A: Matt Doran, Seven.
Exhibit B: Matt Doran, ABC.
ABC political reporter Matthew Doran, who has the same name as Seven’s own Matt Doran, took to Twitter today with a cheeky suggestion to “Go easy on me,” following the headlines surrounding an Adele interview.
Seven’s Doran admitted he had not heard the singer’s album prior to interviewing her, which has drawn international headlines, but maintains he wasn’t aware he had been sent a link via email.
ABC’s Doran is a political reporter in the ABC’s Parliament House bureau, who joined the broadcaster in 2013.
On social media some mistook him for Seven’s Doran and let rip over his lack of research… only to be accused of the same themselves.
… one keystroke later and chef Matt Moran could also be thrown under the bus?
R u the goose who flew over to 🇬🇧 to interview Adele about #30 and didn’t listen to it?

If you choose to fail to research an easily researchable job, no wonder journos in Australia have such an appalling reputation for NOT holding our Govt's corruption and Propoganda to account.

So just how much did your faux pas cost your bosses?

Gee you are extremely lucky only two weeks, your performance in most industries would see you looking for another employer. M8 during the past you have not been shy, chin up

And this is why you give your kids middle names.
Don’t forget the actor Matt Doran from Home and Away many years ago! It’s a Matt-Doran-a-thon!
Hahaha, this might be my favourite Oops of the year
Annual list coming soon.
Don’t know of or have seen the Matt Doran of channel 7, but am well aware of the ABC’s Matt Doran. He is a very professional and competent journalist and reporter as you would expect from our national broadcaster.
I thought it was Grant Denyer at first glance !
lol. Cheeky Marr Doran of the ABC 🙂
Sounds like the TV Tonight Today Tonight mixup
I got mixed up between Tony Jones from the ABC and Tony Jones from Nine.
