GRNKPR on CH 7 on hoon laws

[GRNKPR]

i did an interview with a ch 7 reporter today from a car club perspective on the new hooning laws and how they would affect us . But the interview was cut and made it look like all i want to do at the end of the week is drop skids all over the place :Up_to_som :Up_to_som :Up_to_som

my answer was i like getting out at te end of the week and give the car a work out on the track

[Grechie]

omg u kidding me, there u have it, all they wanna do is make us look like bad guys

[EFDream]

Thats the media for ya.....don't know if it's worse trusting lawyers or the media!

[Grechie]

im so dissapointed to hear that GRNKPR's real word was prety much sabotaged and made out to look like he just wants to hoon, god, i hate that word now lol

[vztrt]

If you haven't learnt you have to tell the media what they wanna hear. Or they'll make you look like a hoon.
You should have said "We agree with these laws as it tarnishes the reputation of car clubs"

They're not gonna let you say what you want, that would make the commercial media channels unbiased.

Were you holding a stubbie and belching into the microphone for added hoon/bogan effect ?

dosent suprise me that the media will twist someones words

[HOON69]

should had it in writing that they wouldnt chop or edit the interview in any shape or form
best bet is to write to them and ask for a public apology*coughs and laughs as that'd only happen if you took em to court* or went and redid the interview again,this time unedited.

[Sorted]

Or he could write into Media Watch on the ABC, I remeber when they exposed Today Tonight for making a bunch of Muslem youths sound like they were a bunch of terrorists that wouldn't follow Australian law.

Phil you of all people should have had some idea as to what they would have done. Come on you have been around a bit.

i was aproched by ch7 at western sydney international dragway to do an interview about how great venues like that are to keep hoon behaviour off the streets.
then the next week the story comes out and its a huge beat up about how inexperienced p plate drivers are allowed to drive at high speeds on the track etc
my interview didnt make the cut mainly because i saw them coming and didnt fall into their trap.
but there was a clip of my honda city turbo launching off the line

[OLDFORDNUT]

cmon Phil
Media watch will actually show we can do something constructive with public awareness as to mainstream channels conning the public.
anything to stand up for the average car enthusiasts.

[EL_futuraistic]

thats not good, I know Today Tonight and ACA do whatever they can to make a story but surely its only fair to hear both sides of an arguement.

Just proof that TV networks are playing pocket snooker with the Govt.

[xbgs351]

Is it worth writing to the newspapers and car magazines?

Nope.
The big picture is:
Media fooling the general public.

So newspapers will not print it.
And car mags are not read by the gen pub.

[xbgs351]

Wait until they get rid of cross media ownership restictions.

Shows like Today Tonight and ACA are not interested in fair and balanced stories. They enjoy playing to their audience which is mad up of over-50's middle class Australians who think the country is full of dole-bludging, single-mum hoons, of ethnic or aboriginal decent.

If you want a balanced story then talk to Four Corners.

If you're ever approached by TT or ACA give them no comment. Even if you happen to shoot the reporter down in flames and portray car guys as the most law abiding citizens in Australia it'll just end up on the cutting room floor (or the delete bin seeing that everything is digital now). They're only interested in sensationalism, not fairness.

A very broad and(sic) narrow minded statement.Most over-50's do have a brain and dont necessarily think the way you do..

Well it's not hard to guess your age is it?

Mate, it was meant as a sarcastic generalization, because it's exactly what those show do. There would be no denying though that those shows are directly targeting the fears of our older citizens.

Most (but not all) older people think:
*All young people are out to get them
*All P platers are automatically hoons
*All single mother are dole bludgers
*All muslims are terrorists
*All abo's are petrol sniffing trouble makers
*All modified car owners hoons

The current affairs type programs play up to this kind of nonsense and the senior citizens eat it up - because they're preaching to the choir.
