Grand Theft Adelaide (The Jimquisition)
Added 2018-01-15 15:38:43 +0000 UTCRecently we were contacted by an independent game developer from Adelaide, South Australia. Last year this dev was the target of an outrageous news report.
Outrageous for all the wrong reasons.
The Jimquisition applied more research, editing, production value, and talent to this story than Nine News Adelaide ever did.
Now a local TV news station gets to experience life on the other side of the camera.

2018-01-16 23:30:52 +0000 UTCIs there any way to contact the dev's university, perhaps link them to this rebuttal? It sounds as though he's been done a serious injustice, but maybe not one it's too late to remedy.

2018-01-16 20:50:21 +0000 UTCSo any word back from the station after harvesting the collective disdain of over half a million YouTube viewers?

2018-01-16 04:22:55 +0000 UTCGeez that poor guy just trying to make a game. I hope he isn't long term screwed by this nonsense.

2018-01-15 23:37:12 +0000 UTCThis is basically why it bothers me when people dismiss news they don't like as: "fake news." There are real problems with particular reporters, editors, newspapers, channels, websites, etc. These can be described, understood, and called out when people take the time to do the research, like Jim did. Jim didn't just dismiss the bad news report, he got into the actual details the reporters got wrong and explained why, he got into the responsibility of doing research and the impact on people's lives.

2018-01-15 18:09:04 +0000 UTCI also live in Adelaide and found this pretty typical of our "journalists" no matter what the issue is. I never watch the news here since it's just a waste of time.
