It is interesting to see what the Mercury perceives as journalism. Pretty much that found in the UK.

The Mercury fuckin' rocks. Better than the Whorigonian and it actually prints resl news. A bargain at twice the price

This is downright embarrassing. Matt has no business "reporting" on this story to begin with given his obvious conflict of interest. If he's going to ignore the conflict, he shouldn't descend to this almost pre-teen level.

My "descent to an almost pre-teen level" rule of thumb, generally, is to only do so after someone else has gone first.

Your rule of thumb broke on this one. Your post, and particularly the image, was puerile.

You've lost distance from this story. There's no hint of objectivity in what you write about the issue, and you've become monochromatic. Your cops are all bad; brutish thugs waiting to pounce. You've arrayed heroes and victims on the other side of the issue, and unstintingly lavish praise on both.

Take the two rallies, for example. I saw both rallies, and listened to the speeches. What you wrote simply wasn't representative of what occurred.

This is a serious story, and yet you treat it only with advocacy and snarkiness. I have no clue what the aim is. Sell a movie or a book? It's certainly not to inform the public.

It would be amusing if we had two very important public service unions suddenly refuse to work because of these incidents.

Please immediately stop using text that blinks. It's a deal breaker.

I didn't notice the animation before. Damn, I'll need to submit a new entry if I'm going to beat that.

Don't judge a man until you've marched a mile in his jackboots.

Bla-dow, Godwin's Law in one.

Another fine opinion piece being passed off as news from Matt Davis.

The first photo is excellent, if slightly nauseating, and could win handily.

The second, however, I find a bit mystifying: is Humphreys smallish and balding? Does he look like a sad funeral director?

Please explain.

Hey username FIRE MATT DAVIS NOW! - How are getting that this is trying to be a news piece? It's a photoshop contest, for chrissakes. You are dumb.
13
Gene, that's Matt Davis in the 2nd picture.

If only someone had given me a few steroids and a wig.

NOW THAT IS FUNNY!

Please wait...
