Can we apply for the job as a forum? Then we can all take turns, and guaranteed there will be enough time to check facts etc for deadlines when there is a 1000 or so of us on the job.

Do you think they might get suspicious when all the articles relate to the Prado

sitting here with a burbon and coke, my 2 young grand daughters come and look over my sholder, and ask"why are you laughing at the computer grandad? we cant see any funny pictures." I do enjoy P.P. , even when it gets off topic.

This is all that Shaun wrote that related to the article in question.



I guess my comments were really a reply to your comments Madkore as well as leethal, both of you giving credit to Shaun for standing up and admitting their mistake. IMO all he gave was a politicians answer, a weak excuse, he never accepted that the story was fabricated (only redesigned) and then a promise that it will all be different in the future!

Now if he had of said, yes we made a mistake, we should not have run the story without having the facts correct, we failed to be organised enough to produce the quality of magazine our readers expect and then promised to fix things I might give him credit. Locking the thread on the 4WDaction forum is pretty weak as well. As it is, no kudos from me, if that makes me a harsh marker then so be it.

Mind you I still rate him well above Julia and Swanny

Cheers Andrew

Andrew,
I agree I found Shaun's reply a whole heap of nothing almost like when my kids get caught red handed. It was like "oh you caught me, I won't do it again". He should have offered a real apology and an offer to do a real story inviting members to take part expenses paid. Then as a sign of good faith they should offer the next issue at a reduced price to make up to all their readers that paid good money for a 2nd hand magazine.

Sometimes people in all forms of life and business should be held accountable for their actions!
