When journalism stinks like rotting fish

[TigerBoss]

Ben Hook continues to amaze me.

Not only do regular snippets from this site appear in his Sunday Mail articles, suggesting the boy knows how to apply the "copy and paste", and "believe anything you read" techniques, but surely his snippet in today's column about the alleged SA footballer sporting a shiner after being exposed by his missus for visiting another woman around the corner, when telling his missus he was out doing a pre-season run, is stuff we simply do not need to read about in the papers.

If Ben Hook wants to attempt to be a hard-hitting journo, perhaps he ought to put some names to his articles, or leave articles of this nature out entirely.

Poor form Hook and even poorer form the Sunday Mail allowing you editorial rights to MY paper.

I know what your answer is going to be TB, but how do you know for a fact that this little snippet in question was actually written by Mr Ben Hook ?

[mighty_tiger_79]

i agree TB

i hope that Ben doesnt consider himself a journalist

[G]

I agree boys - either put up or shut up

[Dutchy]

TB having a crack at a Brighton Road legend?

TB having a crack at a Brighton Road legend?

nah he's having a crack at a former norwood runner & supporter, nothing to do with him being a 'ledgend' at the seahorses

[Barto]

from my experience it isn't journalism that stinks like rotting fish

[bayman]

btw ben if this was true, this would NOT be the FIRST TIME this has happened in LIFE

A former Norwood runner but a Sturt supporter I think you'll find bayman.

squawk, i stand corrected i just presumed he barracked for norwood seeing he was a runner there, it is almost like he is sturtpeter in disguise

[Squawk]

LOL Bayman.

TB - I think BH is a member of this site - you could send him a PM!

[Big Phil]

He'd have to be, this would be the best website for the "media" to get their breaking stories from the SANFL wouldn't it ???

[bayman]

bh is that ben hook, brenton honor or both ? or even benson & hedges

[Squawk]

bh - bayman's heroics?

I meant Ben Hook mate.

So you are reading the Sunday Mail then complaining about tabloid journalism Why on earth would you buy the Sunday Mail if this sort of stuff bothers you?

[Wedgie]

Ben's the first to admit his column is some light hearted entertianment and not exactly mind breaking hard hitting journalism.
If you don't like it, don't read it, simple. Ben's doing the job he's paid to do.
I enjoy his articles, about the only 2 pages I bother reading in the Mail these days.
Keep up the good work Ben!
(And congtratulations on your great game on the weekend!)

[Bluedemon]

most times he writes some good stuff but this is one small article that should have been left out.

[Dogwatcher]

I hope the people who are sanctimonious about something like this appearing in the paper aren't quick to post any rumours on this site.

[GWW]

How about in the CONFIDENTIAL section in today's paper, Ken McGregor being labelled as a "former footy player" despite signing with WWT

[silicone skyline]

from my experience it isn't journalism that stinks like rotting fish

HAHAHA!
