Is there a worse journalist than Tom Browne

[Dogs Rule]

They don’t nickname him Scoops for nothing.


Only 3 weeks after this appeared in The Age.

Families advised to moderate calls to players in hubs

Families of AFL players in hubs have been encouraged by the league to limit phone calls with players to once or twice a week and instead keep in daily contact via text.

He’s such a w*****.

‘Sources have told me’ (i.e I’ve stolen someone else’s story from weeks ago and rebadged it as my own or just made it up’.

Good strategy, Tommy. For those who don't know, Sam Menegola's dad is one of Tom's bosses

Why doesn’t it surprise me he’s a total brown noser?

This is how this bloke rolls

SHIP OFF: Giants lash out at players after defender decides to quit club

GWS publicly wished their departing free agent well - but a stern message was delivered behind the scenes.

7news.com.au

So...
1) The quote at the centre of the article is ‘If you don’t want to be here, then ship off.’ It is attributed to no one.
2) The only quote from anyone at the Giants is a magnanimous “wish him well for the future”.
3) No one corroborates anything that occurs 'behind the scenes.'
4) The paraphrasing of quotes - ‘If you don’t want to be here, then ship off’ - is done by the reporter himself

Therefore the story has no support, no sources and the crux of the story is made up/interpreted by the reporter. He could at least report on what someone else made up but no, he made it all up himself.

It's the little things that make me laugh with Tom. His paraphrasing using language that just doesn't sound like the words of a normal person. Ship off!

How do campaigners like this get these types of roles? Same goes with fat campaigners like Robbo etc. Baffles the mind.

They can talk s*** well and do it all day and night. Can be complete garbage and totally inaccurate, but it just speed out of their gobs.

But, in Tommy’s case, it’s pure nepotism and the fact his Daddy was Jeffrey Browne (ex Nine).

I've said this before, but guys like Browne and Shane McInnes (etc, etc, etc) are proof that almost anyone can get in the biz if they're prepared to work hard (and weird hours) and know, and/or suck up to, the right people.

good on him to be fair.

Edit:

I know I’m a bit late to this thread, but I think perhaps in that footage he said “had surgery” then corrected it to “needs surgery”. He probably wasn’t sure so was hedging his bets after going too early with Jack Riewoldt

Pissa. When did Browne tweet that?

 

[tugga]

I have always thought he might be on the spectrum.
Not a criticism, just an observation.

 

[Bungeye]

Not only is the junk affecting his waist line in these covid times, it's also emanating out of his mouth.

 

[deskc]

Tom browne is great like every other journo. They all put in hard work and should be praised for doing such a great job

This dingus is losing pals at the Dogs at a rate of knots.

No issue with him running with the Dunkley story but it’s pretty obvious he’s just being an Essendon lapdog, congratulating them and repeatedly saying a first round pick will get it done.

Absolute tosser.

I know ‘contracts’ are increasingly becoming more flexible but a former lawyer claiming to now be a ‘journalist’ openly barracking for a team to obtain a contracted player is very odd.

He’s just reposted an Instagram post from Mrs Cotchin. He really is a ghoul.

Disabled tweet replies as well.
Deep down he must know the kind of person he is, no ?

I'll admit I lost it at this.

 

[BruceTempany14]

He's got some catching up to do on Damian Barrett though....Like muchly.

So yes, there's heaps worse around than him.

Yep , Connolly , Slobbo and Maher . All unlistenable and unreadable.
