Oops. More news crawler gaffes

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Oops. More news crawler gaffes

Post by Greynomad »

The Qld gummint has suspended non-urgent elective surgery for two months.
That’s not quite the message conveyed on the crawler…

If you are not listening to the newsreader, the message is that all essential surgery has been suspended. 🤭

Thats a bit weird isn't it. I caught just the end of that bulletin and I wonder how they would stop people requiring non-elective surgery. Just don't hurt yourself or get sick :shock: :shock:

NOT ON YOUR NELLY!!
🤭🤔🙁

I just have an occasional* snipe from the sidelines, and walk away with a smug look. 😁

No pay: no responsibility. 😜

* Although, with journalistic standards apparently going down the toilet, it seems I’m in full time unemployed work!!🙁

The so called "reporters and those powers that be people" in front of the camera's can't even read their notes or even auto cues without stuffing up. :lol: :lol:

When in front of the camera, sometimes you lose co-ordination between brain & tongue.
But there’s really no excuse for some of the stuff-ups with the printed word.
