News Paddy Ryder charges dropped

[_VXV]

Much of the reporting has been typical media - flouting contempt of court. Check the section on 'publishing matter likely to prejudice a fair trial ' at this site, which gives a good summary:

Articles like this are in murky territory:

The reporting of the Twitter comment in this article should never have been allowed to go through:

Defamation is a separate issue but there's also certainly grounds for it.

Ray Finklestein got it right a few years back. The fact that the likes of Andrew Bolt, Alan Jones, Tony Abbott and Rupert Murdoch attacked his proposal proves he was right. Mr Finklestein QC recommended that all journos should be registered and held accountable to a set of ethical standards. The current Press Council has no disciplinary powers and acts only upon complaint and even then it is a paper tiger. If Doctors, Lawyers, Teachers etc are held accountable against a set of professional standards why not journos? As It is journos believe they can report what they like, when they like about who they like and what is more they are right. I am sure Murdoch has a slush fund to cover the occasional law suit. Unfortunately Paddy Ryder is no exception to the rule here and the press will simply report what sells papers and helps ratings.

Absolutely. They are like a bunch of leeches, gossip mongers and scavengers.

With power to influence opinion and this is at the crux of Murdochs relentless expansion. He doesn't need anymore money fortunately
the net now acts as a counterfoil to his limited news empire. Dennis Potter was dying of a cancer he called Rupert and his appraisal of
Murdoch was the stuff of legends

The media and Rupert Murdoch[edit]
In 1993 Potter was given a half-hour slot in prime time by Channel 4 in their Opinions strand produced by Open Media. Broadcast just before the third episode of Lipstick on Your Collar – itself a rumination on the effects of the mass media, in that case through popular music – Potter's chosen topic was what he perceived to be a contamination of news media and its effect on declining standards in British television. Craig Brown described the programme in the (Murdoch owned) Sunday Times:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Potter
"Potter announced at the beginning: 'I'm going to get down there in the gutter where so many journalists crawl... what I'm about to do is to make a provenly vindictive and extremely powerful enemy... the enemy in question is that drivel-merchant, global huckster and so-to-speak media psychopath, Rupert Murdoch... Hannibal the Cannibal.'...
As a performance, it had a lot going for it. I have never seen a talking head on television so immediate or so unabated in its anger. In many ways, it felt like being collared by a madman on the Tube. Filmed disturbingly close to camera, seemingly ad-libbing the entire half-hour, now mumbling, now rasping, Potter somehow managed to cut through the vacuum that on television usually separates viewer from viewee. This made the performance extraordinary."[24]

This time Paddy's really ready to rumble.

 

[tangolikelama]

Woooo

 

[OneGreatClub]

Woooo

So Faaaark off Channel Seven and your gutter reporting.

 

[bomberclifford]

Woooo

... but a guy on the Adelaide board said he wouldn't be playing in 2018.
Are you telling me he was fibbing? Well, I never...

 

[G3TWOTYAD3S3RV]

The fuvkwits reporting this were only trying to deflect the grand final fukc up. Didn’t work.

Subaru be crying into her cornflakes.

 

[CharlieKelly]

The only thing the Crowies had in the immediate aftermath of the Grand Final amounted to nothing.

No schadenfreude for you, bad luck.

 

[RussellEbertHandball]

Never in doubt!

But his brother or cousin is another issue - as per the silence in the club statement. One story suggested it was his brother who had a tussle with the cop another was his cousin. Whoever it was will cop it - excuse the pun.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Friendly reminder

 

[LFC2010]

I expect a full apology from channel 7 and Mike Smithson in person to P Ryder and his family.

the rest of them can go eat a massive bag of d****

 

[PatientMental]

Quoted for best of.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Great news. Common sense prevails.

 

[Grave Danger]

Paddy wasn't going to be playing in the second biddy ball test on Saturday due to 'personal matters', but maybe he will now with this news.

 

[TeeKray]

The cop must have been a Port Adelaide supporter, right?

 

[Enviable Tradition]

Watch the Crows conspiracy theorists.

No doubt they will argue Port should suspend him for the season anyway.

I thought that he was ok when the crows media suddenly stopped speculating. Hope it wasnt a crows cop upset on the night of a GF loss!

Then the coward took off and hid, as is par for the course with the customers.
