Cal 480 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thats pretty bad,but the other story on that page is also pretty wrong on a number of levels http://www.ntnews.com.au/lifestyle/darwin-man-risks-testicle-in-jaws-of-saltwater-crocodile/story-fnk0b1ks-1227336750461 Tinker 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tinker 1,645 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 That sea lion has got big balls. That bloke in the second link, now only has one ball. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
archerfish 685 Posted May 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 In regards to this story, I had a bit of a further look on the 'net and found this excellent example of "TV News Reporting 101" in action - take one interesting shot with a good back story and puff it up to a 2 min 41 sec report with some highly dubious "filler" footage: http://www.10news.com/news/san-diego-fisherman-explains-the-moment-he-was-dragged-underwater-by-a-sea-lion-042715 Cheers af Quote Link to post Share on other sites
