THE WILSON FILE - the arrogance at the heart of the innuendo

[Biffen 12,323]

You know what the funny thing is. The stupid morons who are abusing her on twitter to the account they think its hers. Im guessing the majority of them are pies fans. But hate to tell you its not her.

The misinformed in pursuit of the misinformed.

You know I've actually thought it would be cathartic to abuse Carowhine, regardless of the fact it's a fake account. It does appear most of the Collingwood supporters think it's real though.

What was really offensive and distasteful was her reference to John McCarthy's death at an end of season bender in Vegas.

How distressing for his family to read this, especially if no toxicology report has come back yet. Is she guessing? Is it a rumour? If either she should hand in her 'journo badge' or be sacked. Even if fact a tox report is confidential. How dare she take it upon herself to 'release' this.

Even if not guessing, she has stooped to a new low. No respect shown.

Good call.

The toxicology report is / was done, but the results not released. Even if she does know what was in it, it was unnecessary to bring JM into it - it added nothing to the story.

878 words and she couldn't find room for a single sentence about Dustin Martin, but had no qualms slurring the recently-deceased McCarthy by implication.

Poor form.

She is more than a joke, she is an bloody disgrace and drags the 'profession' of journalism (of which she tries to claim she is a member) deeper into the cesspit created by News of the World.

Bitter, miserable, biased - no saving graces whatsoever.

[waynewussell 4,088]

Caroline Wilson is written journalism's equivalent to a Shock Jock, no better than AJ!

Mark Fine got stuck into Wilson big time tonight. Agree with his views...

I've probably said this before but when I first heard Mark Fine I was wondering why they let this yob on the radio but I persisted with him and find him a breath of fresh air, he has a touch of the common man about him and you've just gotta love it when he pays out on some dh on the final siren...so long as it's not you.

yes he is a pretty level headed guy i think.

Tonight he basically said all that has been stated in here over the last 24 hours.

Wilson has no care for who she pots. Its all about the story.

Will be interesting to follow how all this rolls.

Unfortunately it is for her, what a sad person she is.

[baysidedave 246]

MarkFine also got into Wilson and other jouno's who were making up stories about Melbourne's 'tanking', there all saying how the book should be thrown at Melbourne but Finey and Patrick Smith said nothing should be done. They say if it's true then it's the AFL's fault for putting in those stupid rules

[Straight Sets Simon 23,113]

As bad as Wilson has been of late, the Herald Sun's attempt to try and catch up on stories (tanking an drugs) has been even worse.

[Outside fifty 967]

Yes Clint Wilson can take pride in the knowledge that she makes up the story before the opposition. I's all about filling column space and the truth, facts and ethics can take a back seat. Compare Wilson's injective to that of Emma Quayle's excellent piece on the crows. Where Carowhine would resort to unsupported accusation and innuendo Qualye simply reported established facts and maintained on objective standpoint throughout her article's, never being arrogant enough to sit in judgement. Kero must be looking over her shoulder at young Emma with considerable anxiety.

Signs showing of CW insecurity re the talented Emma!

CW quotes 'fairfax' when referring to EQ stories but in today's Age EQ not only quotes The Age she also credits CW with the Tippett story 2 years ago. Very generous given that when EQ broke the Crows breaches 6 weeks ago CW took over the running without a single reference to her erstwhile colleague. Reading between the lines suggests that CW 'pulls rank' on Emma in various ways!

Emma is all class!

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,394]

Bit of personal bias here, but the Herald Sun's recent announcement that Mark Robinson has been appointed as their Chief Football scribe puts The Age's efforts into perspective. Basically, Robinson's work makes Caroline look like a three time winner of the Nobel prize for literature.

(Keep in mind that the Nobel prize is often awarded for works of fiction).

Does anyone know EQ? I'd love to know her opinion on CW.

Interesting that not a sniff from the' peddlar of all things dirty' in today's paper.

Just a sneakky little piece headed " Magpies keen to work with clubs, AFL to fight drugs" by a couple of no-names. The article included a picture of yesterday's Swan article implying somehow that Collingwood had picked up on CW's expose - when it fact it was Pert who first raised the broad question days ago. At the foot of the article Buckley's tweet was noted under the McGuire statement that Collingwood wasn't going into a blame game.

If you've broken a winning story, you keep running with it.Three times in a row now she's lead with her chin - and then shut up ! First the "pathetic and disgusting" - then the " demote Sam Fisher" and now the "sack Swan"

Must be close to full membership of the fiction writers' guild now Caro.

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

I don't read the column a lot, but I was under the impression that she was pretty well respected?

Is it just recently that she's been heaping on the MFC or is it more to do with the way Fairfax is being run these days.

she may have used all her information in the first articles and now her sources have closed ranks on club orders.

The story is out there. Not that she broke it.

Gary Pert lit the match & i have no doubt he is very worried.

Young boys with wads of $$$=sleepless nights. I just don't like the way she wrote yesterdays stories with no regard for players or familes involved.

Maybe someone should write some double spreads on CW's life after hours...or even during hours having worked with some journo's over the years....

She is happy to put other peoples stories & photo's all over that broadsheet..

[jackaub 1,402]

She needs to be sacked. Perhaps, in the historical sense of the word.

Is that Sacked as in Brown paper bag sacked as in you would need one!

Level Headed? Finey? I find him very entertaining, and tend to agree with his take on most things, but level headed he ain't

My favourite Finey-ism when unloading on a caller/sms-er was [paraphrased]: 'you're the kind of person who will never manage to amass enough money to own a lawn mower outright'

he was probably right though..some of the sms traffic in there would be rather neanderthal i think!

Finey is honest on air. What he thinks he says.

Sad that he covets the Aints but his bloodlines and melways map reference dictated most of that...
