From today's DomPost

The last line is a bit rich...'to counter misinformation being spread by biker groups'.
I wonder where we learned it from?

[Ixion]

Eh. I never said that to her, or anything like it ?? WTF.

Still, what she has me down as saying is OKish so I'm cool. Just, WTF

[Mully]

Whaaaa!!! Misinformation from those big smelly bikers.
Not fair.

I'm telling my mummy on you.

Les, can you get "ACC Spokesman" to have a one-on-one media interview?? To counter the misinformation.....

[GOONR]

Only twenty complaints!

[Ixion]

Only needs a couple. Too many would just piss off ASA.

[GOONR]

I suppose, a complaint is a complaint that needs looking at after all.

oooohhhh fabricated journalism! Makes ya wonder. Agree it's OKish but should you really let something like that slide when you didn't even talk to them? Granted they obviously taken some of your quotes from other stories but it's not in relation to the topic at hand therefore irrelevant.

How many other stories are like this? And they wonder why I don't do newspapers or news on TV. I'm better at making it up myself.

This is exactly what we are up against with journalists. Unless we pay for an ad, we are at the editor's mercy.

No, I did talk to her. Just didn't say that.

[slowpoke]

Well done fella's, it's one thing to bitch and moan behind the scenes but it's sumthin' else to man up with a journalist in your face. It's a lot easier said than done.

[ckai]

Oh ok, wouldn't it be a mis-quote then? I thought if they direct quote they have to publish what you actually say. I could just be naive though. :)

It was Keith McLea (ACC spokeperson) who made the quote about bikers and misinformation.

[Sidewinder]

You have to keep in mind when dealing with the Media, that what you tell them will be misconstrued, offten deliberatly so they can create a better story. Keep in mind it is adverts that pay for news paper proffits, the truth doesn't come into it.

[candor]

If its in quote marks it should be verbatim, if it's not they may use artistic licence. Hill is good at writing stories that present and condense conflict, her interviewing style guns to get very adversarial comment. It can be leading. You can ask to see and approve any quotes of yours that are to be used, a better chance they'll say yes to this than to an interview preview.
