Gus Gould - Similarities in Column

[Razor]

Most of the article is the e-mail. He's not supposed to get paid to copy and paste

48% does NOT equal most

 

[Green Machine]

You're a disgrace you know that?

You do know the person who originally wrote that had a son murdered while walking home from work in Melbourne?

You can think what you like. Linking the contents of a chain letter that is then used in piss poor journalism has no relevance at all. It’s about as relevant as Phil Gould suing a League Chat Forum for defamation for discussing a piss poor article,

48% does NOT equal most

Stuff like "heres another quote" doesnt count.

But anyway 48% is still alot

You didn't dish Gould for using the article. You said the email was full of sh*t and would have deleted it had you recieved it

And btw Gould can sue the forum. There's a reason why all the club forums have been shut down, because it puts the club liable.

Saying the article is "piss poor" - of course you can't be sued for that. But saying there was "clear intent to mislead" you can certainly be sued for - it's called defemation of character.

He never said that before each quote. Did you even read the article. He said it once, then listed it.

48% is not the majority. 2 others have said that 48% is a majority. I know it's commonly known that people from NSW are poor at Maths, but to think that 48% is a majority is very worrying.

I said 48% is alot, not majority in my last post. I corrected myself when you said it was 48% and not most.

But if you cant tell the difference between alot and most than thats worrying, because my point was if 48% of an article is not your work than thats alot

I think I said in my first post, I read that dribble from Gould. If I didn’t make that clear to you, I also thought it was as painful to read as sitting in a dentist chair with the drill on. I thought I made it clear I read Gould’s and not the e-mail or the Greasy Spoon site. So what is Gould going to sue for? Being questioned for how much content he plagiarised out of e-mail for a piss poor article? A lot of them sites were closed down for threatening posts, foul language and incorrect information about people’s private lives,

Did you send it to Gus. I got about half way through the article and felt like sitting in a dentist chair with drill on,

You must feel differently. I grew up in QLD and even though I'm only 24 I really enjoyed reading it (and the original email as well). So much of it is true and I feel really aggrieved, just like Gould, that so much of that stuff is long gone. If you don't know what half of it means, you don't understand what it was to live like that.

I think the problem here is people are bagging off at Gould when the core of the problem isn't his fault at all. He annoys me a lot of the time when he commentates on Channel Nine, but I always enjoy reading his SMH articles. He knows more about rugby league than anybody who posts on these forums and usually has something interesting to say.

I too like his commentary on Channel 9, I too think he has an excellent football brain. But, when he gets involved in comment instead of commentary on Channel 9, it becomes spin. Also, I think most of his columns are just spin. Phil putting out there what his agenda is. Sometimes it’s very funny to read. That article could have been rapped up in a couple of paragraphs but it just kept going on. He wrote an article on Russell Smith earlier this year. I enjoyed that,

A printing error can also mean the wrong version being printed.

Gould could have written it. The sub-editor omitted the line. It was fixed up. But the sub-editor's version was submitted to the printers in NSW, not the final version.

That is a "Printing error", not "clear intention to mislead". The fact the the correct version was sent to the QLD printers makes that perfectly clear even if nothing else does(which the other things should anyway)

And my point is that this sub editors omission of that line, and quotation marks around the adapted text I might add, would have been done for a reason, and that reason would not have been simply to save space. That copy should not have been sent to the printers, any criticism is warranted.

* Correction: Phil Gould is not a plagiarist.

When the Sun Herald told us that this was a subbing error we didn’t believe them, but we were wrong.

They’ve now provided documentation that shows that Phil Gould submitted his original article with the material from the web attributed to an email he received: so Phil did everything above board.

We remain amazed that the Sun Herald’s subs would remove that attribution, but the Sun Herald's apparent plagiarism was entirely the responsibility of the paper's subs and editors.

Just as our mistake is our responsibility.

Take em to the cleaners, Gus.:lol:

 

[Cheesie-the-Pirate]

You've got to have it in context!

Remember when we used to believe excuses like that?

Remember when Media Watch was credible?

Come to think of it, I can't.

Yay, , 8 hours to go to see the Media Watchdog screw up yet again.

 

[UndertakerMike]

Media Watch is the Greatest show on earth.

And Admitted to the error as soon as it became aware of it.

But it should have been aware of it before it broadcast it.

Derryn Hinch is being blasted(and rightfully so) for broadcasting the incorrect address of a pedophile. He admitted to the error as soon as he became aware of it. Doesn't make him credible. He should have been sure before he broadcast. Same as Media Watch.

Are you seriously trying to compare the release of an (incorrect) address of a paedophile with an accusation of plagiarism? The consequences of one are far worse than the other.

 

[Alan Shore]

Phil Gould = devoid of intellectual capacity. God I can't stand that man.

 

[parra pete]

Are you Jealous because he has creditability and you don't??? just asking.

 

[Timmah]

No, Gould really has no credibility.

 

[parra pete]

Really!!!! Don't you think you should preface that statement with "In my opinion"...A lot of people would disagree with you. It seems funny that Channel 9 and Sun Herald would pay big bucks to someone with no credibility...
Perhaps he has just a little.....more than you perhaps????
