If it's anything like the size of his brain he'd need a magnifying glass to find it

[IluvHarvey]

What has he done wrong? Did I miss something?
I thought all he did was release the KD and Nixon stuff.

Nothing much.

Just forgot to check any facts!!!

He gave air time to that 16 yo "child" that can't be named

Who has (possibly) been sleeping with and taking drugs with a high profile player manager. Anthony Dowsley told the story. I don't see what your problem is. He is paid to do this.

So you think his job does not by it's very nature incorporate at least an element of research?

That is, there is no need on his part to corroborate the truth of any single 'victim' allegations

In other words he can just report whatever, whenever, however.

Interesting angle.

Respectfully, I disagree.

[savatage]

I got into an arguement with an alien last night. True story.

Please publish & give me a five figure sum.

Leaving aside for a moment the photos, which would have come out and would have caused controversy.

This girl's story got coverage simply because she claimed to be pregnant, not just because she had sex with a player. Remember "Pregnant Schoolgirl!"

The media, including Douchley, were happy to run with this without requiring any proof.

Now that the lie has been exposed they're already turning on Demetriou "AFL Chief knew girl wasn't pregnant" etc. In fact AD has simply stated he had doubts.

It was the media that grew the story and it was their responsibility, and no one else's, to ensure it was correct.

Exactly, grew like a cancer

i fully get where you are coming from but I believe his "story" was to out the relationship between Kim and Nixon. Which he successfully did. For this "story" there has obviously been research done.

People need to realise that newspapers arn't about giving people the news anymore. It is about selling newspapers. Hence the dramatic way the articles are written, the giant eye catching photo's and even right down to the liftout sections for sport, dining, real estate etc.

If you just want the news read the Australian (best of a bad lot).

So my long winded point is ............... Anthony Dowsley is paid to write articles designed at selling newspapers and a story about a 17 year old and 40 something year old player manager who have had public spats before will Sell big time.

You can't blame Anthony Dowsley for doing what he is paid to do!

He loaded a gun and handed it to a disturbed and vunerable child.

So to speak, of course.


Her life is stuffed and will be for some time. The press who led her into the biggest part of this mess, manipulated her and the situation, in order to profit from it.

Throughout the whole thing, the masses were screaming for everyone to think of the poor child! Help her!

So what do the Herald-Sun do? Hold her hand whilst she roots a 47yo lunatic!


However, the reality is that this bloke is probably a hero at his workplace, for selling so many papers.

Hitler's men were paid to do stuff to.

Everyone has choices.

While it's probably a stretch to say that a HS reporter is paid to investigate & report the facts of what actually happened, it's reasonable as a reader to expect that pertinent questions are asked.

Dowsley (of course on the instructions of his masters) has happily avoided any investigation into the facts of the story (maybe he was too busy with entrapment).

Dowsley is simply another name to add to the ever growing list of gutter trawling media.

Douchley was involved with KD way before the Nixon stuff broke.

If I recall correctly, he shared a cab with her from the airport when she flew back to Melbourne for the Saints injunction hearing. He took her side of the story from the outset without bothering to look into any facts.

Wouldn't it just be beautiful if KD turned on Dowsley & allegations of an inappropriate sexual relationship with him surfaced?

ANY man who has had ANY contact with this girl would be sh1tting like a big black alsatian now.

Indeed. He may well have dug deep for the inside story

[starsign]

I think he may well yet be investigated, along with her, for breaches of the surveillance act

She may well claim he put her up to it and paid her also!

Bingo!

All may not be well in the 'relationship' between the 'schoolgirl' and the HS.

[gringo]

The Herald Sun will be uncovered for breaches of the surveillance act and it will put a retraction on page 133 on a Tuesday with unreserved apologies for any way in which they were mislead.

The Journos that did a Ricky on her will forget to investigate themselves, but we will have the whole sorry episode behind us.

I recall there was a text message from KD to Dowsley early in the morning of the said day that went something like - "AD he is in my room now".
Does that not indicate a "set up".

lol - journalistic integrity and News Corp are mutually exclusive.
