Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap.

That’s what my brother would say if he agreed with me (I haven’t seen him to find out his thought, just love his quote) on the hole “…whispers in sky” (as used in the Herald Sun headline on Tuesday 23/8, which in itself is misleading as the comments where made on the Ground before take-off) affair that the media, lead by Tony “What is Ethics, could you spell that for me” Jones of Channel 9, have been salaving over. If this isn’t the biggest beat up since the Jews told Pontius Pilate that Jesus was a bad man, then I aint here.

 

The truth comes out in the article Jones actually said `Gee, how about you blokes tonight?’ as they were boarding there plane. Not just boarding there plane, but boarding the plane after running good knows how far, being abused most of the time and, get this, at MIDNIGHT(!!!) with a solid 3 odd hour flight ahead of them to land (assuming they are talking Midnight Perth time, and I believe they are) at 5am ish in the morning.

 

So lets get this in context before we go on. Some media hack (i.e. Jones), comes up with the wholly original line, having a sligh dig at them (maybe friendly, maybe not) and there response was “Now I know what it’s like to have a victory.” If it where me, I would have probably had a go (well actually probably not, but would have been pretty pissed). So again lets get this straight. After having 30,000 odd thousand people telling them how bad they are, they give Jones the verbal flip off by saying what they said.

 

Now heres the great thing. Mr Ethics, Mr I can’t get ahead in this job and we mighten have the Footy in a couple of years so I will probably be out of job, Mr how the heel did that Hutchy get so far ahead of me in the Footy media world, Mr etc, Mr etc, decides that he is going to go, like a sniveling little kid and tell everyone about it. And not only that (from my hearing of reports) pretty much out of context.

 

Well to Quote a famous man: “Shame, Shame, Shame”. This guy, Mr Ethics (Tony Jones) is the same guy choose to ignore a pact (whether implict pact or explict) not to say anything about a Footballer suffering from the very real and serious condition of deprection til after a press conferencec organised by the plays club and put it all over the evening news, thinking what a big man he was for breaking the story! Well Mr Ethics, your not a big man, your a very little, petty,  pretended of a journalist and you will be found out! Hopefully as more and more people hear the true context of the coments, they will see how much the media has blow this totally out of the water.

 

I really can’t wait to listen to my buddies over at Footytalk.com.au and there podcast for this week, which is sure to touch on this (not least that I made this my Molly’s Monday Machinations (if they use it, will publish after the show is released)).

 

These are my thoughts, don’t be affairred to comment.

 

Happy Blogging and beating up issues Mr Jones,

Molly
