:lol:

this will definitely hit the bulldogs real hard though.

Malcom Toad should have known that while working with News Ltd, never mess with Murdoch and his company.

 

[Twizzle]

no one watches her, so it will hardly effect thier sponsorship

Rebecca Wilson is the toad.

I hate the Bulldogs, but they are saints compared to the *edit* with poison pen.

 

[Dogs Of War]

no one watches her, so it will hardly effect thier sponsorship

It will in the future, depending on how long this feud continues. When sponsors go to resign and question why their logos are not being seen in one of the major papers in Sydney.

Hopefully Rebecca Wilson will slip that noose she has been preparing around her head so the Dogs don't have to give in.

What's eating Rebecca Wilson?


By Ross Stapleton (crikey.com.au)

How Rebecca Wilson wins friends and influences people with her Daily Telegraph column.

What is it about Daily Telegraph journalist and now Nine's NRL Footy Show “panellist” Rebecca Wilson that inspires so much hostility? Or perhaps more accurately just what's eating her that she also finds it so easy to be free with her own opinions, but when others bag her, she takes great offence. Which makes you wonder just how much time she does spend in a hot kitchen?

But also don't discount a big head for some, when on Sunday she broke another of her self-declared column rules when she wrote: “I don't normally waste a lot of space in this column on media lightweights, but I will make an exception this week”. The exception was Andrew Voss who dared to be critical of her NRL Footy Show debut last week. She then disparages him as a “junior football caller who has much to learn in this game”. Presumably about the rough and tumble of people who have a crack at each other in Television sport. However, I would suggest Voss has far more credibility and actual hands on experience than Wilson, and if my memory serves me, particularly admired his work from the sideline during last year's State of Origin series. To have Wilson dismiss him as a lightweight and therefore unqualified to give her TV tips, has to go down as one of the better “delusions of grandeur” among our journalistic brethren.

Just on Voss.....

I listened to what he said on his Radio Show on the weekend and Im guessing thats what got her all worked up.

He said "I wish her all the best and I hope the Footy Show rates its backside off as a result".

I cant remeber a single negative thing he said about her.


What he DID do however was open the lines up for opinion.

His was on with Johnny Gibbs who was scathing of her. They had Fatty on and he was also scathing of her.

The callers were 90% scathing of her.


But Voss....I dont remember him saying a nasty thing about her at all.

Anyway, Im glad someone in the media is look at this.

*edit*
what does she realy know about RL
who gave her the job on the Daily Telegraph

Good to see Media Watch has picked it up. Further testimony to the corruption of "fact" in the modern media.
The sooner Wilson disappears back into the sewer drain she crawled out of, the better.

intelligent stuff oneye

the first 4 are pathetic, and irrelevant - the sort of stuff you're accusing her of

the last two are the only ones that are relevant, and I don't have the answers - but being male isn't a prerequisite for understanding footy

But this whole tit for tat thing is pretty childish... in saying that, both parties (the dogs and the paper) deserve most of what thy've got IMO

 

[Graf Vynda-k]

that thin lizzy chick on media watch is also a little hot......sometimes........could do with bigger t1ts but.

 

[Baron Vo Mandor]

She doesnt have half an ego does she?

"Media Lightweight" I dont rate Vossy a lot but I'd rather have a yarn with him about footy then the AFL wonder Wilson.

How can Murdoch think that shes popular!

 

[PJ]

She doesn't hvae to be popular, she ahs to be seen and heard, which generated interest and thus sells more product.

Stop buying their papers and tell them why you stopped, otherwise they just don't care.

*edit*

 

[gaterooze]

Voss has been a TV presenter/commentator for a hell of a lot longer than RW has. He's hosted his own show FFS (Boots 'n All)!

 

[choc_soldier]

And also the Sunday Roast. I rate him highly... he's knowledgeable about footy.

But he definitely has a shedload more credibility than Wilson. Actually, I think she may be devoid of that characteristic...

 

[Azkatro]

I just wonder now actually how much News Limited as a whole has to do with getting Wilson on the Footy Show. That's more pressure on the Bulldogs - who will be reluctant to allow their players to be interviewed or appear now on the highest rating RL show on television.

 

[League Freak™]

Someone has been pushing Wilson for about 18 months now.

1. Sunday Telegraph story on a dispute between Malcolm Noad and Brad Clyde about comments to the media – false, never happened, Wilson never called to check.

2. Sunday Telegraph story on senior Bulldogs players going to coach Steve Folkes with their recommendations regarding player signings – false, never happened, Wilson never called to check.

3. Daily Telegraph story about Malcolm claiming he budgeted for sponsorship money which dried up after Coffs Harbour scandal broke – false, Noad was not at the Bulldogs at that time, Wilson never called to check.

4. Sunday Telegraph story about David Gallop witnessing Bulldogs and Roosters players wrestling out the front of the Clovelly Hotel – false, Gallop has denied this. Rebecca Wilson apologised to David Gallop, not to the Bulldogs.

5. Daily Telegraph story about Gallop text message. Refers to the Bulldogs saying Gallop was wrong in fining them over the salary cap. Bulldogs have always said we will review the breach notice and possibly appeal it. No personal comment was ever made by the Bulldogs against Gallop.

6. Daily Telegraph story claiming that five police officers being investigated by the Police Integrity Commission are victims of the Bulldogs and the Coffs Harbour scandal. This investigation regarding the possibility that police revealed information from phone taps is being conducted in private and no judgment has occurred. How does Rebecca Wilson know if they are guilty or innocent?
