So I just read this article:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11209806which references this article:
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/dana-johannsen-on-sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=1502860&objectid=11204998I'm kind of riled on both sides here. Reporter writes article, which reporting aside, and the topic aside is opinionated, and quite polarising - personally I feel she fails to provide any observation around the Winter Olympics and generally the whole feel of the Winter sport community is very different to that of other sports.
That aside, the parts that annoy me are firstly the fact she has obviously had a sever amount of distaste for what she wrote, and that the public can not subjectively and with some sort of discussion provide critical feedback. But the second part that annoys me is her obvious bullshit response that is just as troll worthy as those who have invoked this response out of her in the first instance.
I tend to feel that as the reporter, and the one who has the public pressures and the job (most importantly) there should be some sort of bullshit filter that she understands has to be put in place from time to time.
Thoughts?
