Re: Caro injured?
My mistake (not something you'll ever hear a journalist say which speaks volumes for their ethics). I should have said option A).

Re: Caro injured?
I suppose it depends on what you call ethical. Is it ethical to follow someone onto t a plane who is heading for rehab just to try and get a scoop or is it ethical to go through the garbage?
Panthera tigris FC said:Yes, that's right AFL journalists don't adhere to any ethical principles :.
My post was in direct response to your post questioning:

Re: Caro injured?
I don't think so, nor do many others, hence the term "gutter journalism". The irony is that when a journalist makes a conscious, professional decision to remove the appearance of bias, they are lambasted for it.

Re: Caro injured?
The only person who knows why Caro isn't a Richmond member is Caro - who are you to tell us the reasoning was "a concious, professional decision"? Caro????

Re: Caro injured?
True, I don't know for sure. However, considering the MEAA (the journalists' union that the Australian Journalists Association was merged with) has 24000 members and is also the trustee for the Journalists' awards, the Walkleys (that a number of AFL journalists have won), I would be very surprised if many AFL journalists were not members and were bound by the code of ethics of that association.

Re: Caro injured?
It would seem a reasonable conclusion to reach, considering her profession. However, you are right in that only Caro knows the answer to that question.

Re: Caro injured?
That link is comedy gold. To claim that any AFL journalist is "bound" to that code of ethics is a dead set pi55er. If they are "bound" to it they should hand back their memberships.
Thanks for the laugh.

Re: Caro injured?
I guess it depends on how seriously they want to be taken as a journalist.

Caroline is a borderline joke.
To night on AW was talking about her 5 biggest disappointments and 5 most positve developments in footy so far this year.
Dealing with disappointments she named some pretty serious stuff ups with offenders with multiple priors plus criminal charges and right in the middle she mentioned Dan Connors and "those others involved" in a Sydney Hotel brawl for which Connors got 8 weeks.
Dan got drunk and disturbed some guests at the hotel. He was not charged with multitple counts of rape or trafficking in dangerous drugs, or assaults as were others on her list.
As for those others invoved she was obviously referring to Cousins and Mcguane who did very little more than try and talk some sense to young Dan.
She has also previously been called out for (unsubstantiated) accusations she has made about Cousins- that he was spoken to by club officials about excessive drinking.
Both Gale and Cuz categorically denied her accusations yet she made them again, alleging both Gale and Cousins had lied.
Like a few others in the media she refuses to acknowledge that Ben with RFC support has done a terrific job with his rehab. OK but then to mention his attempts to keep a mate out of trouble in the same breath as she talks of serious criminal behaviour, suggests to me that she is fast losing touch.

Re: Caro injured?
My personal favourite has to be number 12. Do your utmost to achieve fair correction of errors.
Clearly Caro is bound to these ethics that would prevent her buying a Richmond Membership as it would be a formal contract acknowledging her bias.
Highlights the pointlessness of your argument.

Re: Caroline is a borderline joke.
Now that would be breaching some of the ethics that qualified journalists are bound to. Good God, wash your mouth out or have a rollicking good laugh at the tripe posted in the Caro Injury thread.

Re: Caroline is a borderline joke.
Let me get this straight. You DON'T think the debacle in Sydney was a disgrace? You reckon its ok for Cuz to give a teammate a prescription sleeping tablet? I didn't hear the piece on radio, but an eight week club suspension is up there with Steve Johnson - and worse than what Otto did all those years ago.

Re: Caroline is a borderline joke.
Connors is a habitual offender.
Uh no its well established now that they got suspended for not stopping him before he got too drunk.
Her only error was assuming that officials had spoken to Cousins again. Its pretty clear now IMHO that around the beginning of the season Cousins did have a drinking problem.

Re: Caroline is a borderline joke.
IT started off life in the form of a maggot, living off the bleeding of others. Whether it was an innocuous scratch or a fatal wound, IT was in there sucking as much as IT possibly could out of the victim, sometimes IT would return to the same spot to gnaw on the scar tissue. Once the wound had been sucked dried & healed over, IT would disappear & return as a 'pretty' butterfly sitting on the shoulder of ITs previous host who had now recovered.
One day when IT was sitting on the shoulder, just under the ear of ITs host, the host slipped. Another nasty injury was sustained by the clumsy host.
IT became a blowfly, a smart blowfly, when IT got into the wounds this time IT laid some little maggots in the host. Now the little maggots sometimes tell IT that they have found a new wound or infection & the big blowfly knows straight away about all the internal bleeding.
The host now knows the problems that blowflies & maggots cause, so the host needs to be wise & at first sight of a maggot within, it needs to be removed immediately & completely. As for the blow fly which comes & goes for the purpose of solely feeding itself & of no concern for the host, the host needs to put up as many barriers to keep away the sneaky, shifty, disease riddled parasite at all costs.
Remember this parasite needs a host, if it can't get to the host it has no purpose. The host must be vigilant, remember this a smart blowfly with chameleon like ability. All maggots & blowflies need to kept at bay at all times.
