Herald Bombs

The Herald should just give up.

Look at this travesty. They should just fuck off…they aren’t even trying anymore.

The people more foolish that New York official attempting to crackdown on 3d printed guns is the New Zealand Herald who insist on a generic photo of a made from milled steel Beretta 92F to prove to us all they know jack shit about the topic.

A law has been passed in New York in an attempt to regulate 3D printed guns.

The law called the New York administrative code makes it illegal to use a 3D printer to create a gun unless the person printing the gun components is a licensed gunsmith. Gunsmiths however will be required to notify the New York Police Department and register the firearm within 72 hours of printing it.

The New York administrative code follows another piece of legislation that is in the process of being passed, which makes manufacturing or using weapons and ammunition magazines made with a 3D printer a criminal offence.

Under the new law, 3D printed guns will have the same legal requirements as conventional shooters.

In the US it is currently legal for people to make home grown firearms as long as they are not sold. Home-made Fully automatic weapons are however still illegal.  Read more »

Regular readers will know I’ve had some fun at the expense of the Wairarapa Times-Age, but to be honest, they are better than the NZ Herald.  At least they proofread their articles, have proper photos and in spite of the stories reflecting the provincial flavour of the paper, they’re running a decent show.

Not so at the Herald, as we all know.

I’m just reading a story on the Herald website about a hero cop tacking a petrol soaked criminal. The article says it was Constable Gary Prescott. I’m not sure why they’ve taken a photo of a Constable Greg Prescott to accompany the story, but I’m sure the Herald staff know what they’re doing, even though it seems like they are asleep at the wheel.

Greg Prescott an attention whore? That’s a bit unfair.  But according to the New Zealand Herald, when your colleague, Gary Prescott does something heroic, Greg Prescott is the one to get all the credit via a photo caption.

Herald Bomb

The New Zealand Herald truly don’t care.

Here was me thinking the whole of Auckland had given the finger to Len Brown…and then I realised then I was reading the Herald on Sunday, edited by Bryce Johns…who wrote me a letter about his “decent journalists, trained and skilled”.

It was a plane crash of course, not the unitary plan.

Free hit, 6 runs off a no ball, this is a massive Herald Bomb…they are busily publishing tomorrows Herald on Sunday articles, including the editorial online as we speak. Looks like Bryce John’s “decent journalists, trained and skilled” are going to save us a few minutes and some cash tomorrow by enabling us to not buy their rag by publishing online tonight…interesting strategy.

Here is Matt McCarten’s column:

Not from the Herald but it is also an APN title.

I don’t think “Fat Tony” is going to be pleased with that.

First in this article, she is a “hostage” freed in Israel.

Take a good look at her.  Because the NZ Herald says she is a hostage in a bank incident in Israel, and yet, in the very same issue…
