More Trash Reporting

This just smacks of what I call "typical media reporting" in this country.


Channel 9 chopper narrowly avoids disaster

A CHANNEL Nine helicopter crew filming the NRL grand final narrowly avoided disaster after a laser beam was shone from the

ground, temporarily blinding a cameraman.


The vast majority of the clowns in the media cannot get simple terms and definitions correct and continue with their hit'n'miss attitude of reporting by suggesting that a laser shone through a camera lens "almost" creates a disaster had it gone in the eyes of the pilot.

So... did the laser actually go into the eyes of the pilot?
Is the feigned outrage from Channel-9 execs based more on the concern of maybe losing a helicopter - or the people inside?

Nice going on those "reporting" skills, Fiona. I understand that since you almost entered the wrong building while studying at University to get the piece of toilet paper that you call your "Degree in Journalism", you must also be qualified to be a School Teacher and may soon embark in a career as a Civil Engineer.

Oh, I know for a fact that the owner of this fluff piece would justify her position and make all sorts of excuses but the simple fact is that her facts are wrong and her Editor is just as big a moron for allowing such tripe to go to print.

This sort of shit is waaaaayyyyyyy too common Jai.

Maybe MSM could just go all out and specialize in telling stories about all that things that nearly, could have, would have, but didn't happen.

They'll never be short of "news" to tell.
