Roast The Media Watch thread

[Lord Nicholson]

Herald Sun asking on Facebook whether Lloyd is remembered as a sniper, diver or champion.

What a ******* scumfeeding organisation. I wouldn't piss on them if they were on fire.

Facebook? They were asking it on their website proper.

Al Paton can **** right off. Vastly prefer David.

 

[Doss]

That is unbelievable.

Actually, no it's not, it's the Herald Sun we are talking about.

 

[daz17]

I will never buy a digital pass for the Herald Sun.
Absolute trash.

The headline says all you need to know.

There's no need to dignify that gutter organisation with your money, your time or your hit when they churn out such trolling rubbish.

 

[Zach Package]

you thought paul roos was bad.

had the displeasure of listening to andrew johns call the SoO game tonight for MMM. (NSW legend for those unaware).

highlights include

yelling 'chewy on ya boot' when cam smith (QLD) was shooting for goal

Using 'we' in reference to nsw every single time, without fail.

yelling 'yes, cop that' when paul gallan (NSW) popped a queenslander in the mouth

 

[DapperDon]

Who the **** is Al Paton?

Actually, I don't want to know as I clearly wont bother reading any of his articles again.

And on the website the photograph is of Lloyd appealing for a free while being held. Sickening. All that Mr Paton seems to write on usually is supercoach

You don't need to anyway, their paywall has a hole so big you could drive a bus through it.

If there is something that you might need, just go to news.com.au. Exact same stories, no fees.

Noticed this. I guess I can understand the bias there because SoO is a much bigger deal to rugby fans than what Sydney v Essendon is to an AFL fan.

Yea I know how to view them, but I'm sure one day it will become compulsory.

Thing is though, most of their articles are so poor no one would really consider paying for the right to view them. Pretty sure all of the news ltd papers are selling less and less, the Advertiser has the fastest declining readership of any major Australian newspaper.

try typing on a tablet in the middle of java with fluky internet coverage.

the moral of the story is never trust your wife with IT Matters

BT brings the ****ing up players' names game to a new level.

Not only does Sumner not wear 26 for Gold Coast, he also plays for neither of these clubs.

You're right about the number but he does play for the Suns. Guess you can't spell 'BTG' without 'BT'

Plays for GWS.

EDIT: unless they picked up ex-Swan Byron who I believe hasn't played a game.

When are they going to stop doing this shit?

If the guys that wrote the article had to draft those years there is no way they would have picked all of them.

Disgrace of a headline for a guy that just made the Hall of Fame and achieved what he did.

Horrendus Journalism, are they sure Nic Nat would be this good without the support and experience of Dean Cox? It is the Herald Sun after all.

 

[Knight Ryders]

Retrospective drafting. Did he get his journalism degree from Big Footy?

The age staff don't seem to be able to help themselves, how many days before their pay wall comes into effect & no ever see's one of their beat up stories again?

They have to be about the dumbest media outlet going around. At least Murdoch's rags have a sort of low cunning where money is involved; whereas the Age has decided to go ahead with a paywall just after The Guardian launched their online newspaper for Australia, staffed for the most part by columnists Fairfax sacked because they weren't tabloid enough or something.
