So, how wrong is THIS?

[spikechiquet]

Maybe it's because I don't like the guy...but isn't this wrong?

hmmm, looks like SOMEONE (aka a TV guy!) is taking credit for someone else's work...I think they have a name for that!

OHL? Saginaw? Petersborough? Petes?

I didn't understand anything in this story. It's like it's in another language. What sport are they talking about? Curling?

Not a story I'd take credit for even if I did write it.

What would Joe McGrath do?

Scouts?

That's the most egregious example of the p-word I've ever seen. Every freaking word was the same except the "The Examiner has learned" clause in the lede graf.

That TV Boy failed to delete the "Twohey declined to comment when contacted by The Examiner Tuesday" line pretty much seals his fate.

Scouts?

They're out there with contracts in their pockets, boys!

Blow up Parliament? Or are you not talking about the Sinn Fein leader?

Good catch. That's the only thing about this thread I've understood so far.

It's called Television. Or radio. We have a station that runs our stories on the air every morning, right or wrong.

Ohhh. I forget it was Joe McGrath who trained me in the office.

 

[Flying Headbutt]

I got a good deal on them boys!

BTW, to keep it on topic, I'm guessing hair gel with a microphone should be looking for new work soon. Unfathomable that people are that dumb.

No, it's called plagiarism. Some people do things right in broadcast, some don't. This is a clearcut, egregious example of one who is not doing the right thing. Send an email to his news director, ask how the "sports director" can possibly justify putting his name on that. Hold him accountable. However, please don't accuse everyone else in broadcasting of having no standards just because some guys are clowns.

If anything, have your editor call their news director. If you're just a reporter, don't get involved.

They brought their ****in' TOYS with 'em!
