Dont believe everything you read
Can i just remind everyone not to believe everything that they read in the media......the media have their own agendas and will report accordingly........I see a lot of forumites reading something thats written and then jumping up & down & yelling the sky is falling

Just as an addendum I personally I reckon no-one shold be allowed to watch commercial TV news or current affiars without first having sat an exam, the study of which involves you having watched Broadcast News, Drop the Dead Donkey and every episode of Frontline

I never believe everything I read in the media, Davo027, but it cuts both ways.
For example, I don't believe that GT was undermining the contract negotiations with Riewoldt, Kosi and others.
Nor do I believe that Steve Bedwell has anything to do with the Westaway ticket (something that Hutcho and others have tried to tell us).
Etcetera

Which media should I believe?
I'm told by others on here that you cannot believe anything written in The Australian.
The Age/Sunday Age
I don't believe anything that Hutchy the Tosser writes because he has always been a 'sensationalist gutter journalist' seemingly more concerned with the headline rather than the substance of the story.
I shouldn't believe anything by Caroline Wilson because she is receiving 'leaks' from RB and apparently has 'slept with every Richmond player since 1970'?
I shouldn't believe Robert Walls because he is part of a 'Carlton plot' to foist RL on us and eventually run our Club.
Tim Lane shouldn't be believed because he doesn't like us.
Steven Reilly shouldn't be believed because he is a 'tool'.
We shouldn't read the Age because Caro got GT sacked as a columnist and he was the only truthful columnist there.
Herald Sun
I shouldn't believe Mike Sheehan becuase he is an 'idiot'
I know not to bother with Jon Anderson becuase he is just a Geelong supporter masquerading as a journalist
Garry Lyon and Dermott Brereton - we all know that as journalists they were great footballers
Mark Robinson - I actually like him so I will be mortified if I'm not allowed to believe him.
So who's left for me to believe?

Perhaps be specific Davo 27 on what we should or shouldn't believe.
Do we believe Rod and GT had a public spat?
Do we believe John Gdanski has joined the rebel ticket and Ross Levine is a sypathetic?
Do we believe the SFF has 5000 proxy's?
Do we believe NB and AT are part of the rebel ticket?
Do we believe there has been alcohol and possibly drug abuse at current Board level?
With all due respect Davo, what can does the average club employee know about what happens behind the Boardroom door?
If you know something perhaps you can elaborate on what is plausible and what is not

Apologies if I took it the inference the wrong way. Yes It was intended to be a broad statement & No I'm not going to elaborate. I suppose I'm saying "keep your minds open".Where did I write that?

I could be miles off but I reckon Davo might be referring to the Judd not willing to meet situation.Davo,I appreciate your reasons for not being specific but can you at least let us know if you are refering to the board challenge,the Judd issue or something completely different ....
All the other crap currently being spouted in the media seems slightly less likely to be crap than the crap concerning Judd today.
