Lazy journalism?

I swear news.com & SMH had a revamp lately and it seems more and more like stay at home bloggers have been trolling the internet for news stories. Also noticed a lot of Dash Cam Australia clips/FB posts & comments are now being taunted as "news" as well.

I was going to do a “Denali” this morning and post the dash cam of the woman in China? crossing at a pedestrian crossing but then walking at right angles directly into a car that had stopped some distance away so she could fake an accident. It’s hilarious.

Maybe he got asked for his thoughts?

Pardon the ignorance but what's the deal with Steve Hui (other than being the CEO of iFlyflat etc.)?

It could be something to do with media-savviness. Repetitive rants are much less quotable.

Steve Hui has been know to use information from sites like AFF and flyertalk without attribution.

They have a registered member handle here.

One thing I am aware of was taking image of a boarding pass posted privately on Facebook and publishing it. Unfortunately the photo had private details within it, including those in the bar code.

It's been going on for a while.The SMH a few years ago had a barely disguised copy of a TR of mine complete with a couple of my photos.

Oh that’s dreadful. Even photos for Pete’s sake. There is an ex FB member that snaffled someone else’s pic of a BP and wrote a story about it.

Of course not.I reported it on here at the time.

Sounds like FB is not as private as what most people would think

It was a 'closed' group of which he was a member. After that effort Steven Hui was dememberfied.

Considering the way we (the Royal we) rubbish news.com I trust no one looked at.

Even worse, Is our content giving news.com credibility.

Looks like that article is getting a bit of traction...

Hear Matt being interviewed by Chris Ilsley on the radio station "Perth Tonight". Who knows, where this might lead to - perhaps with continued main-stream media publicity, there might be a change in Qantas' carrier charges policy??

“Airlines should be transparent about Frequent Flyer charges”

That would be nice as I think they are ripping us off
