My summation of that. Campbell Brown is anti-douchebag. Sam Maclure says Brown is anti-media. Therefore the logical conclusion is media = douchebags.

Brown got absolutely stuck into him during the previous Airportgate incident didn't he?

Yep, on talking footy Brown said that Maclure's just paid to make stuff up.
Yeah both Browny and Luke Darcy. You can tell none of the guys like him.

Yeah something along the lines of them wanting the lime light and they should just report the news.

You can tell that the ex footballers come media types despise the so called media experts that have never put on a pair of boots and rightly so, they are clueless hacks.

Sam I swear to God, mate. I’m about to turn that Goddamned five head into a new drum skin to save me few dollars.

Some are alright. Usually those that have been around long enough and seen it all. Rohan Connolly and Jake Niall and those guys. And they're generally the ones that report on footy and don't go dumpster-diving.
McClure just comes across as an entitled opinionated clueless young twat.

yeah I generalise too much sometimes. I will admit it.
At the risk of looking very silly, where was the omitted apostrophe meant to go? Did McClure mess it up and mean a missing comma after the word "remember"?

I'm not even sure Brown got it wrong. It's a contraction of journalists, contractions usually have apostrophes.

Admit nothing ChampRevesby, admit nothing.
That was my view. Journo is an abbreviation.
It's no surprise that the only footballer that likes him is Dangerfield and both come across smug and arrogant. Simmo would eat him a live if he came accross McClure in an interview.
Anyone listened to this special edition podcast AFL media have drummed up with Angus Brayshaw and Matt Thompson - http://www.afl.com.au/news/2018-08-07/podcast-emotional-angus-on-brother-gaff-hit
Wonder if this is where the golfgate revelation is stemming from. Thompson tweeted out that it was "Fact" at Andrew Brayshaw didn't even know Gaff

There shouldn't be an apostrophe after journo. Should be journos ….
Both of them got it wrong
Because the apostrophe denotes ownership when in reality he is writing a plural. It's incorrect.

We also have stories like this: http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2018-...tacker-blocked-from-playing-by-court/10082986
We have children assaulting other children on the football field and nothing, not a thing from the MSM (apart from this article). Surely we as a society should be more disgusted and outraged over this blatant and violent assault than a brain snap by an upstanding bloke who made a mistake.
