News & Events Quality of news.com.au

[FRUMPY]

News.com.au is just your place for a couple of the big stories of the day and then new idea/womans day articles. Its handy to see what the big issues are and then if you want to get info go elsewhere. It is what it is and would get a pretty big portion of aussies looking at it as todays population love to read MAFS and celebrity jargon.

The one thing they do do is create an article about some topic based on the tweets of random people and use that as the basis for their article. And its not even experts, its just Karens and Jo Blog from down the road.

The funny thing about news website and how people complain about the bias they show.....they all have a bias depending on who owns them. There is no great news website out there, hell there is no great journalism out there anymore.

ABC. No need for Murdoch.

They all have their agendas - all have a bias of some sort

HArd hitting news story of the day

While Newsltd is the king of clickbait, ABC and SBS are the kings of completely misrepresenting a story with it's headline.

I don't know how this is a story. Haha. Not a very surprising mistake.

US woman’s ‘insane’ mistake at servo

A US woman who recently moved to Sydney discovered we do things a little differently at petrol stations in Australia – after finding out her mistake the hard way.

They keep posting bullshit stories about Rebecca Judd and she keeps calling them out on her Insta

I'm only reading this shit for cringe factor but I was like how is that even a ****ing story.

They were quick to use the "internet was in a spin" for the Google outage. I swear some of these story headlines should be simplified.

NEWS and the Australian run pretty much the same theme. Over exaggerated headlines with specific buzz words. Without a doubt they are the absolute worst of the worst in the media. I just can't get over how ****ing stupid some of those headlines are.

Go to something like ABC news and you've got a reasonable headline, good description before you click.

CNN - Straight to the point WYSIWYG

 

[Catfish Alley]

It's their 'most read' article too so jokes on us.



I always like the ones like 'US shocked by Australian Covid rule'. No they're not. You found a snippet that mentioned Australia but nobody cares.

You often see ones like 'Aussie star making headlines in NFL'. They aren't. I watch North American news and all my friends are into NFL and nobody has heard of this guy. Haha.

 

[peternorth]

The use of ‘ ‘ shits me.
Thought it should be “ “.

Why do you think they have these articles? People eat this shit up - its basically the new form of womens weekly/new idea

Here is the cricketers "clashing"

I'm sick of everything being referred to as a "hack"

saved 5c = money saving hack
new cleaning product = cleaning hack

Ignoring articles with "hack" in the title is the one time-saving hack you need to start now!

It's like the article they bring out that says "how to get more time off work", More holidays etc. The article simply states when to take your time off work around holidays which every ****ing worker already knows.

Here is the cricketers "clashing"

News is always good for a weekly Paige Spiranac story so have to take the bad with the good

 

[JHF1870]

Here is the cricketers "clashing"

They regularly do this for F1. Minor issue turns into mega issue.

 

[PT Bar None]

I think I've used the work "hack" to describe something at least twice in the last week on this very website alone!



Clearly I need to buck up my ideas.

 

[JHF1870]

Perfect example of their bullshit headlines

How do they keep this headline active while the borders are clearly open

 

[Scotland]

'$199 Kmart item goes viral'

Cliffs: you can buy a poor quality chair for $199 at Kmart

 

[iluvparis]

'$199 Kmart item goes viral'

Cliffs: you can buy a poor quality chair for $199 at Kmart

So viral is an adjective in that headline?

'$199 Kmart item goes viral'

Kmart I'd expect it to be more like $19.99
