The State of Reporting in New Zealand

[frankytanky]

I see Dana Johnannsen (NZH) is getting a right royal bollocking on social media for her take on the Sochi.
Facefuck appreciation page is here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bullshit-articles-by-Dana-Johannsen/682600031791693
Her main article that is causing it is here: http://www.nzherald.co.nz/dana-johannsen/news/article.cfm?a_id=360&objectid=11204998

She didn't help herself in the fact that she tweeted prior to the Olympics "Trying my hand at covering Winter Olympics. Apparently Christy Prior is amped to shred in the semifinals...I don't even know what that means."
Nice to see they send a reporter to try her hand at something as small as winter Olympics.

What the hell is this? Fire the Journalist and the Editor and the Head of Reporting. Do you know how many people an article like that has to go through before it is released to the public?

I hope she is staying in one of those expensive Sochi Hotels Putin spent $50,000,000,000,000 on

Meanwhile, real news is happening in Ukraine.
Any of this in the NZ media? That aren't (actually or written as) fuckderp opinion pieces?

It's a true representation to the state of (NZ) media when there are 'real' stories like what's happening in Ukraine getting completely ignored from front pages and big headlines.

It makes me furiously frustrated.

Can't only blame the media tho, the people love garbage.

Can we start a new media outlet? Lets call it GS: Fucking Clue

celeb died, incoming quality journalism - don't read it all at once!

I wouldn't go so far as so say I'm glad she's dead, but I certainly won't shed a tear. Annoying attention whore, who can't handle being called out for being an attention whore.

Oh right.
Celebrity. That makes more sense. I initially read it as "Caleb", I thought he was talking about some semi well knowen shit talking columnist, which I thought was a bit harsh, lol.

So basically, tl/dr:

Embattled woman with personal deamons commits suicide. Possibly partly due to media pressures, now in death they still won't leave her alone.

Sad.
