What is it with some Journos ?
We know the standards of journalism have gone down but yesterday we had Ben Fordham tweeting a completley false tweet
that Julie Bishop and Malcolm Turnbull were going to get together for a "SECRET" meeting. He continued to push the point
in the afternoon even though he knew full well Turnbull was in one part of NSW and Bishop in another and even knew what
flight she was on.
They spin more than politicians
I thought they were supposed to Report the news, not be part of it.
John Laws on the phone to Tim Cahill
Then you have John Laws on the phone to Tim Cahill, with plenty of interesting things to discuss, Winning the Cup, the new
club he is going to, Soccer in Aus etc etc but all he can do is focus on the reported $10 million deal Tim has signed.
Like how about discussing something that soccer fans want to hear about, Why the new club, why not the A league.
And then you only have to get onto aircraft accidents and crashes and supposed "experts" they have on TV or quote
in the media. Plus the standard "the brave pilot heroically steered the aircraft away from the school which had children playing in the playground" or "The selfless pilot stayed at the controls until the last minute to steer away from the town" or , followed by a picture of a Cessna when they state it was a Beechcraft or a 4 engined Boeing 747 when it was a
two engines Airbus A300 which they actually state in the article
In the past, it might have taken a while to research and put together something but with everything on line,
it takes 5 seconds to cross check in google or find the correct picture to use.
Anyway, rant over.
