Thread: Another fine outstanding piece of factual journalism

With journalists as 'au fait' with their subject matter as this guy, is it any wonder the average LFAO holds them in contempt??

But it certainly does sound a lot more scary for the average citizen to read...

Anybody seeing NZs "news" organizations as anything other than propaganda outlets is beyond help...

The media only know ‘AK47’, ‘M16’ and ‘assault weapon’!

They've (the crims) managed to make a Mini-14 even more inaccurate - I wouldn't have believed it possible.

The "Taupo Times" turned up in my rural mailbox. Its good quality fire lighting paper and little else. Its now owned by STUFF, that paragon of virtue signalling. I just whipped through it to see if it actually conveyed any real news. 16 pages (sides). 1 page (not a typo) of any real news: an article on the deteriorating Chateau and another on a scam artist engineer signing off building producer statements with other peoples signature.

1 page of classifieds and 13 pages of ads. (including some self congratulatory blurbs on Stuff itself).

I imagine most other regional newspapers have lowered themselves to this pathetic standard, by sacking any journalists that actually investigated news worthy articles in their region and hiring social media influences???

C'mon @Ross Nolan, can you refrain from using facts and keep calling this an AK please.

Sorry Dude (please forgive me if I misgendered you), I will ensure that in future I 1) try and stay on the societally approved path, or 2) just please myself.

Probably 2).

On reflection, the rifle could have been a prop from an episode of the A team - and so would have never been able to hit anything anyway.

Wow shows how lazy you can be and work as a journalist, you'd think you would at least do a quick Google image search and make sure the firearm in question at least had a passing resemblance to an AK rifle.
I had thought about applying to be a stuff editor, as even as someone with dyslexia I'd let through less spelling mistakes, missing words and the wrong words

now I really really really want to see both those magazines emptied in "a matter of seconds"......to be fair..the person WRITING article may have got it wrong but the person who put caption under photo got it CLOSER to being correct.....

If you go for option #2 - just checking what that makes you?

has been sentenced to over two years’ imprisonment.

Well whoopee diddley doughnuts.

an d heres me thinking you lot would do as our grandparents /parents did and collect the aforementioned 90secs silence and tear pages into squares for dunny paper in the holiday bach longdrop.A "womans weekly" or two can be made available to read(also makes good printed laxative) if what your doing is proving somewhat arduous or you longdrop has a splendid view of the country.

Ha ha ha ha I remember getting in the shit as a young fellah because my old nana had left the Woman’s Weekly in the long drop dunny and a young Rushy tore out some pages to scrunch up for polishing the ring piece after a dump. That dunny was still in use in my early teens.
