Attention: Mumbrella Muppets.
Learn your trade.
Her name is Joanne McCarthy.
Just so we are clear.
Your a website that claims to specialise in media coverage including journalism.
She has just been named NSW Journalist of the Year.
And you can’t be bothered to get her name right?
That’s about the size of it, correct?
Yeah her name is Joanne. Joanna works for the ABC. If you need to double check you can look at the press release you pasted.
Hi Billy C,
My apologies for the typo – now amended (We actually had another Joanna McCarthy, not the ABC one, speak at one of our events not long ago, which was probably why I had that name top of mind).
That’s why I usually make a point of not posting stories at midnight after I’ve been enjoying event hospitality for five hours…
My apologies to Joanne – I also thought it was a great acceptance speech, and very gracious towards her Fairfax colleague Kate McClymont too.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Where’s my apologies? Dickhead.
More importantly, where is the apology to Joanne McCarthy?
What, you think it funny to be so dismissive, you trite little Pommy turd?
Hi Phil,
You may have misread my intended tone, which is one of owning up to an honest error.
I’d suggest you learn from my mistake and refrain from posting after midnight. It can make you seem quite angry.
Cheers,
Tim – Mumbrella
Phil – go back to school pal.
In post #2, the word is “you’re” not “your”.
Goose.
