<p>*Newsworthy</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wonder whether the number of people that click on an article has an effect of moving it up the page?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It's been pretty heavily discussed on a couple of radio stations and Craig Dowd wrote an article on ESPN.com about it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I clicked on the article and read it with interest, so I reckon it is newsworthy..... Certainly more so that the other articles that have been posted above</p> -
<p>as I said, just high lights the state of NZ media when some thing like that is news worthy as a main head line above all the bachelor articles, what Jessica Alba is feeding her kid etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure if NZH operates like google in terms of clicks.</p> -

No , they are still at large . Their sphincter hanging like the sword of Damocles over the pool ready to strike at any time . -

Stuff is reaching peak fuckwit I think. Check out all the articles this weekend about her linked in the one<br>

They've also labelled her a legend , icon and mate of the nation.<br><br>
She read an auto cue for a living ffs, this is just pathetic . -
She is popular, they are populist. <br><br>
I agree about it being rubbish but for some reason you insist on reading this crap then carrying on about it. Does someone forcibly hold you in front of a computer and force things on you that you don't like?<br><br>
Talk about the permanently outraged... -

<p>The only one I read was the one that said she was going head to head with Henry, then I saw the other links to all the articles about her . It was about six or something, for a newsreader. I'm not sure it actually raised my blood pressure or anything but it seems pretty strange that someone who is still alive and merely changing jobs gets this much attention.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for permanently outraged , pretty much everyone here is in a start of permanent outrage about something they care enough to post about but don't give enough of a fuck to actually do anything about. Have a look at the prince thread if you don't believe me.</p> -
<p>Barry was a newsreader. Nothing more. Not one single piece of serious journalism has come from her. She may have been a good newsreader, as far as that goes. But the way she is getting pumped up is silly.</p>

Oddly enough it seems like stuff is the one going overboard and the herald is treating it as just another story. -

<p>It's a small circle in NZ and most folk in the media know each other. Is it any wonder there is fluffing?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is easily ignorable.</p>
