Oh. My bad. I was going off your avatar ... still, a stout yeoman forever in the service of truth, finger always on the pulse or, in our case, feeling for one.

Well done. Don't stop.

 

[Scorchie]

Tbh I’m happy at least 10 of them were happy to hang out together...better than what the media suggest!

The gift that keeps on giving.

Must be easy having Peter Badel and Chris Garry’s jobs, the Broncos are making their job 20 times easier.

They’ve got so much to write about they can sit on the seibold story

Think you might want to read that out loud... Oh, the avatar, you might be the only one old enough to remember this:

They’ve had those cliques since the griffin days from memory.

Guys, Badel would kill to get away with the sloppily written horseshit I pump out here, especially the headlines. He woudn't kill to be doing it for the zero dollars I'm being paid. Exactly what I'm worth, btw.

Sounds exactly like something an undercover journalist posing as a forum member would say.

 

[Broncapz]

I always thought it was a bit of a joke that journos come on here to look for a story.
Seeing as 1910 referred to this 2 days ago and yesterday I have no doubt that they are in fact lurking on our forum.

SO, Petey B I can't stand your shit eating grin on 360 and I think you are the biggest shitcunt bottom feeding journo of all time.
I'd rate Weidler ahead of you.

Don't antagonize the journos. Its like pissing off the chef and wondering why your food has spit on it.

I'll do it, but you're carrying the couch.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Surely we can do better, how about a total forum side?

 

[badyon]

Sure Pete. Nice article on Lodge’s leg fracture right now. Post it on twitter and boom straight to BHQ for instant reader feedback!

Guys, please, no speculation on McHunt. Just enjoy the best bronco journo in the business, and keep it to ourselves.

Can't even make the 17 when everyone has fallen over, I think I'll quit.

All I do is collate quotes from the wires and dailies and pad them with a bit of fluff so there's no copyright drama. Drop a byline on the bottom, and bang, original content. Same as most of the paid journos do.

And we appreciate it. True about journos doing it too. In a past life I saw many press releases printed virtually word for word by lazy or time poor journalists.

 

[Dexter]

Wait if McHunt is Badel shouldn't his name be McCunt

And we appreciate it. True about journos doing it too. In a past life I saw many press releases printed virtually word for word by lazy or time poor journalists.

This is how around 95% of journalism works: sub-editing press releases. Most of the Broncos content you read is based around a scheduled interview with a player, who's sometimes wheeled out in front of a small press gallery, done over the phone, or bailed up one-on-one during training. The rest comes in press releases issued by the club, and contains official quotes to be used in media. The journalist then pads colour and context around the quotes. If they're particularly lazy - and that's most of the time - they'll merely reiterate the quotes as an introduction to each paragraph.

This goes to the sub-editors, who'll fact check, fix typos and grammar, fit it to page, drop in some pics from the pool, and then cycle headlines throughout the day to make old stories look fresh and get more clicks.

My indulgence is I like to take their articles and spin a different angle. I like to get a laugh out of it once in a while.

Fair if McHunt is Badel shouldn't his name be McCunt

er...
