Bainwatch Mk II
Inspired by two things - gazzaj's comment in a previous post and the Herald's tendency to cut and sensationalise - I have decided on a new approach for today's Bainwatch. In the spirit of Word's 'Auto-Summarise' feature, here is a summary of today's article on the David Bain trial:

How is your new banner coming along?
ReplyDeletehurting from laughing
ReplyDeleteoh yeah, and how is your new banner coming along? gonna make some flash animated gif? If you can't be bothered, maybe make a "fan competition" for it? Winner gets it displayed on the website and a mention somewhere...
ReplyDeleteSince their trade mark is on the font, the colour and the word `Herald', change it to a slightly different font, different colour and rename your blog `Editign Teh Hearld'. That would also provide cutting commentary on the quality of said publication.

Ooh great idea - fan banner comp.
ReplyDeletePut me in the team coach, I can win.
Shit - we can't have the press reporting on what happened in a court story, with all the details as heard in an open court, can we. What a disgrace we have a newspaper that is allowed to do so.
ReplyDeleteIt appears the argument here is that the press should not report on court cases. Furthermore, when it comes to particularly high profile court cases - such as those which concern multiple murders - they should be shamed into not printing a full and contemporaneous account of the day's case because it would contain lots of words, like murder.
I'm afraid you've lost me with this one. If the Herald was to "get to the bloody point" (i.e. summarise and draw conclusions from evidence presented), they just might find themselves in a wee spot of bother known as "contempt of court" - hence the (admittedly slighty tedious) account of the evidence as produced in court.
