Oh my.

Here's a goodie. Read this article about a model being refurbished. Note that one of the pictures has a comment completely unrelated to the article. Because it's the Enterprise - just bang it in there. Granted they do link to this in a side bar, but in the context of the article, confusing.

"The Starship Enterprise not only has real scientists on board, it has better firepower, deGrasse Tyson says." Better than one made of wood and fibreglass, or the Corellian one not even mentioned in the article?

Since when do we talk about vehicle speed at a metres per second.
I think saying 47m/s would mean nothing to most people.

I'm surprised the article didn't conclude with "What movie cast would you like to see meet up for a reunion? Leave your comment below."

CCS · 21st March 2016, 14:34

I emailed them and - amazingly - they actually corrected the article. Nice of them to pay attention for a change.

NZ Herald headline I totally expected to see:

NZ Herald: We're already #1, so why try harder?

NZ Herald headline I totally didn't expect to see:

Wait wat? Buh... couldn't you find a better way of describing that? Like, Victim's account of sex assault gains widespread support? Fucks sake, Herald, use the words you would have used before Teh Internets. Write like adults.

Quote:

Yeah, that's not really a big move. And it's not at all unbelievable. Pretty standard retirement shit. The Herald could just as easily have said "Hekia Parata's Retirement Plans" in the headline. But no, gotta be all sensationalistic click-baity n shit,

Hmm - It's only food and lifestyle, but it should still be accurate:

The authentic wood-fired pizza oven takes centre stage in the courtyard, perfect for a chilled out meal, or take it up a notch with its high-end Mediterranean style mains.

So centre stage is actually that red thing in the corner in the kitchen?

Quote:

New video shows slain jogger Karina Vetrano on her last run, moments before she was found dead in New York.
~
The video was taken at 5.46pm, minutes before authorities believe she was sexually assaulted and five hours before her body was found.

This sensationalist Buzzfeed-type headline where the newspaper breathlessly uses the word 'moment' is really getting out of hand. Pretty certain that 5 hours is not a moment.

Oh Tamsyn, you're so funny. I bet you had a little hi 5 moment when you came up the heading for your article.

CCS · 3rd April 2017, 20:01

They need for their main competition - stuff - to be gone before they do that. Either from a merger or they exit the market. If NZH goes paywall before that, everyone just goes to stuff instead.

Ab · 3rd April 2017, 20:01

If Stuff is in a race to the bottom with NZH, it done lost. NZH is somewhere in the sub-basement below bottom.

NZH on any given day is now:

"How this Gen Y couple own 3 houses"
"You won't believe what this woman found in her dinner"
"Recreate some Kardashian's new look"
"All Blacks star's greatest regrets (number three will surprise you)"
