Danny Weidler baseless sensationalism/gutter journalism thread

[thorson1987]

What makes this even better is journalists will say "allegedly" to cover their arse if try got it wrong.

Whereas weidler has claimed that he definitely did test positive and he has the results.

If it comes out that it is false weidler should be sacked by both 9 and fairfax and struggle to get another job.

 

[Canard]

He won't get sacked for an alleged offence (if it is) like this, media organisations virtually never do this to there own.

Like I said he will weed out of it with some loophole (oh it was a private test organised by Khoder etc.)

That would be easy enough to fake, and pay off to a has been boxer would be easy to organise.

 

[PJ]

Weidler should have been sacked after that farcical cross he did before where it turned from a breaking story to Khoder doing a free advert for a boxing "match"

Don't remember the details but Monroe? quite straight after it in response to how low the journalism was.

If he is caught out here Nine won't do anything unless people make it clear. Write to them telling you won't be watching anything that tools is on and follow through.

A dip in ratings is all that will work.

Agreed but nobody is going to follow through. It's like when Woolies does something stupid and their facebook page is flooded with people saying "I'll never shop with you again."

 

[Canard]

If anything in that situation it would be counter intuitive.

Lots of complaints would prove that this guy is being watched/listened and followed by a lot of people.

 

[GongPanther]

Over 25 pages of Danny Weidler.

He must be chuffed seeing all this attention.

 

[STG 002]

And how would he get his hands on the lab reports.

Nasser and co wouldn't be privy to them.

Nasser would have numerous contacts to those who work in labs. Most out of their back yards producing rather than testing.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Looking forward to his grovelling retraction tonight....

Chances??

Nine news now understands...

Probably the young Parra player that got done after having some jack3d before a game a year or two back.

I thought the same thing. If it is Lorenzo Ma?afu, he isn't an "NRL player". But Danny will claim it, even though the club released a press release yesterday.

Brad Walter is turning into a SBW fanboy as well

Did they name the player ? I heard the ad on the radio, something like "story that will rock the rugby league world". It seems a case of a dramatic claim to lure viewers, probably the first time that's ever happened?.
