We’ve all got reporters we love to hate, but threatening to go after them with spears is a bit much.
The NBR newsroom is inundated with dozens of press releases every day. We tend to ignore them but Private Bin managed to destroy hours of time cleaning up the emails left over from the Christmas break.
Some of them are still worth reading despite the odd typo and many of them are worth reading precisely because of the odd typo.
According to one, a Sky City cinema charity event was aiming to raise funds to “cure literacy,” which probably means some kind of mass book burning and barbecue.
But that didn’t hit where it hurts like one on behalf of Kelly Tarlton’s Marine Wildlife Trust that politely asked if we could “spear a reporter.”
While Private Bin can think of several journos who could benefit from a poke with a pointed stick, most would be quite happy to avoid that if they can. Until they don’t reach their quota, anyway.
