RT @Steven_Riggall @stilgherrian @abc730 I dunno OMG Hackerz! is a pretty good story angle [It’s 2012, time to move to Chapter 2 I think.]
Calling a cab.
Somehow, I’m suddenly feeling much better that the pub is showing competitive cooking on TV rather than @abc730 covering last week’s story.
Weeping. Weeping for you and the demise of your planet.
Watching civilisation collapse before my very eyes.
“Hosted by Sarah Murdoch” is a selling point? WTF?
If I owned a national TV network and my success depended on competitive onion-slicing, I reckon suicide would be the only honourable option.
Disgruntled.
@paulwallbank Has anyone so far explained why “social media success” is a even KPI for an arline or a telco? #dbschool
Appreciating, once more, the genius which led to the combination of pork belly with kransky. Hats off. Pants off.
@mpesce YOU LET TELEVISION PEOPLE INTO YOUR HOUSE ARE YOU MAD? @theprojecttv
Whinging taxi drivers. There’s something unusual.
Why do so many people piss away half their Twitter profiles explaining they’re not a puppet of their employers? Do you have doubts about it?
@juhasaarinen @sylmobile That’s nice.

RT @jasonjordan: @BBC_Magazine I had a Chemistry Set with Mercury in it! [So many things explained all at once…]
Well I’m enjoying @theprojecttv so far, but if @mpesce fucks it up there’ll be hell to pay.
@juhasaarinen Yeah well I can’t possibly base my work on such pathetic “role models” as your “good” self. Some of us have enquiring minds.
@KristianStupid @R_Chirgwin Why do we need to reference any fictional media at all? Surely if it’s actually news it can stand on its own.

@thomasking In line with the previously-announced policy, I commend unto to you the use of the scroll bar.
So, it seems journalists ARE given the tools to unearth facts from stacks of numbers, but choose to ignore them and peddle bullshit. Cunts.
RT @Brocklesnitch: I asked my gf & she said they did stats stuff in investigative journalism. [Cheers.]
RT @SquigglyRick: We took a compulsory subject in research and stats during mine, but most seemed terribly uninterested… [Yeah, figures.]
RT @R_Chirgwin: Ms T’s first year did, but that was a long time ago … [Yeah, I was hoping for post-WWII examples… *duck*]
Does any journalism degree, anywhere, include basic instruction in statistics?
I see TEN News has turned one chicken-shop hold-up into an Inner West crime wave. I wonder how liars face themselves in the mirror.
RT @JMRooker: “Nobody cares about privacy” says every Silicon Valley white guy who made billions selling personal information.
@Reemski Oh, I was rather liking the concept of “amorous sarcasm”.
