panoma1 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 The police must be over resourced, if they have time to deal with the machinations of these activists/idiots! The police would be better off warning any complainants subsequently accused of, or suspected of having an anti shooting agenda, that if they persist in vexatiously reporting shots fired from the nearby sporting/country estate, they face prosecution for wasting police time!

Lloyd90 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 God I’ve read better pieces of literature produced by small children, can tell lots of these “media outlets” are roasting unpaid interns, the quality is appalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they used to when papers were printed - now everything is online it’s loads of ‘interns’ (so unpaid kids who’ve done a useless degree in media studies etc) sat at home in their mums houses or flats on a laptop bashing out as much ‘content’ (they’ve got the cheak to call it news) as possible, and the ones that attract the most hype for the paper MIGHT be offered a paid position. Probably get 100 interns and every year get 1 job - and repeat the process every year. Free labour. The fashion industry is notorious for it. As a by product of such practices - are you going to attract geniuses? No - cos they’d be smart enough to work out that the model is a scam and likely wouldn’t do it!

TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) You may well be correct, hardly a good way to promote journalism! I guess if you took 100 typewriters and 100 monkeys still persists. Edited March 9, 2018 by TIGHTCHOKE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
