Perth Now in a few hours: "Redditors in hysterics after "ABC Media Watch: PerthNow left red-faced after ripping off a prank Reddit post" gets posted"


Friendly_Caramel6374

It's Perth Now all the way down


omaca

…to the gutter.

I stand by my comment


Loch32

And so you should


chavvyheel

The rest of us are just hacks not worth quoting. How rude!!


TazocinTDS

>The rest of us are just hacks not worth quoting. How rude!! You appear to be quotable.


chippychopper

Could we create some new renewable energy source powered by perpetual outrage if Perth now picks up this thread, which is then covered on media watch and then posted again to Reddit ad infinitum.

In this household, we obey the laws of physics!

D’oh!

Don't plagiarise kids. This is what happens when you plagiarise blindly.


EndlessPotatoes

I'm all for plagiarising kids, they deserve it


omaca

I agree! I don’t think people should copy content and present it as their own. Situations such as these occur when people copy content and present it as their own without cosidering the consequences.


Devar0

Got a good laugh out of that one. Well done mediawatch.


CWdesigns

Get rekt PerthNow. Lazy and pathetic.


TendencyToTalk

Im liking the idea of a "Media Watch PerthNow watch Reddit Watch."


Y-mc

"A flashlight you take to the beach"... where'd they find this guy?


myee8

That’s journalism these days…


3rd-time-lucky

Now I have the giggles, this is fucking hilarious.


2klaedfoorboo

Watched this about ten minutes ago and was literally crying with laughter- greatest day of my life


wriggly1

That 6PR one isn’t too bad, just a guy that got trolled


BeachButch

Lesson learned? Probably not.


missthingxxx

The weirdest bit is, we literally discussed fucking with them. And they did it anyway? That's an IQ issue IMO. What a dick.


justo316

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA😂😂😂😂 Good work r/Perth 👍

Media Watch: how cutting can your dry sarcasm be before the cops declare it a dangerous weapon? A decades-long experimental investigation.


Motherforker1974

Life immitates art. /s


JJisTheDarkOne

Absolute fucking hacks. ***"You won't believe what this Reddit user said about us! Click here to read the story!"***


jngjng88

LMAO


AquilaAdax

That Millsy bit is amazing, I was laughing my arse off.


DHPerth

Met him in real life a few times during the Snoz for breakfast stages and he seemed to be the sane one. He genuinely is ok to have people point things out where they need to be, at the same time seen the coworker at the time just flap his gums and get out of the office quick smart.


Puzzleheaded-Top8929

Real posts need to be watermarked with "Fuck PerthNow" and then we need at least one outrageous fake post per day to bait them.


ffsbatman

Imagine the fun we could have on April fools day lol


SeriousPan

If PerthNow is all about owning its mistakes, like Peter Devlin claims, why do they let it continue to exist? Clearly they aren't true to their word.


80sAlexKidd

PerthNow hates this one simple trick.


spudsrus

Thanks media watch


ShadyBiz

That’s gold, nice to see them getting called out.


YoshiOfADown

Coming here from the Media Watch video on Youtube. News.com.au does the same thing constantly to us over at r/Sydney


TheFightingImp

We have a running tally of which threads on r/Brisbane will end up on Courier Mail (News Corp) or BrisbaneTimes.com (Nine Fairfax).


heathensong

Surely this series of posts has got to make the best of the year list.


AnarchoSyndica1ist

That Devlin bloke what a fuckwit they showed his pic and everything ROFL


Truantone

Private school vibes. Connections not talent


iball1984

Yes!


VOOK64

Just the laugh I needed


Canuckinptown

On my small phone the photo of the parking meter looks like there's a dick in the front of it too. Hahaha This is brilliant.


ZealousidealClub4119

Great success! Do we think Perthnow will learn their lesson?


Midan71

I needed a giggle today.


Twitbookspacetube

Yeah, not exactly a great look for the Murdoch cumrag calling itself PerthNow.


PositiveBubbles

Isn't perthnow owned by 7west media a.k.a Kerry Stokes?


Ruxton

Its owned by The Sunday Times, which in turn is owned by 7West


[deleted]

Hahah. Brilliant.


samuelson098

Someones gotta be a graduate of murdoch journalism school. It's the only uni where they teach phone tapping.


2hardbasketcase

I bet I know what Millsy will get for his secret Santa gift this year.


fearofthesky

Fuck yes. Over at /r/Melbourne we've been getting the same treatment from news.com.au and ppl have been doing "fuck Murdoch" watermarks in response. Maybe you should do similar? The hell with this lazy hack journalism.

RealLarwood

If only media watch had the same level of scrutiny for the rest of the ABC


twcau

When’s the last time you actually watched MW on a regular basis? You genuinely have no idea just how many times a year it properly bites the hand that feeds it.


f_print

God. So good! I'd forgotten about Media Watch. Makes me want to watch it again.


BiteMyQuokka

That's made my morning


Casmas_

Makes you wonder if they actually have a degree in journalism or if they just found it in a wheatees packet


AlveyFTW

This is great


StructureNo3388

This is phenomemal, absolutely made my day!


ozzysince1901

Great work redditors!


Medical-Potato5920

Is "content creation" some journalist's excuse for spending too much time on Reddit?


Oberyn_TheRed_Viper

Can I please be in the screenshot for the rebuttal?


Friendly_Caramel6374

Omg 🤣🤣🤣


ALIENANAL

Where is the og prank?
