to think that Martha Cliff is a colossal arsehole?

[GooseberryRoolz]

She is the DM so called "journalist" who has stolen last week's AIBU by a grieving mother as a puff piece for today's fail. Wholesale.

Her parents must be so proud of her.

Absolutely hate to say this but was the OP of that thread genuine? Or was it Ms Cliff?

I saw that, I don't know what to say.

Cold hearted scum

This is the third or possibly fourth thread on this now.

That sort of crap is the reason I don't buy the DM

Trolls are planting stories here.

Oh is is it? Sorry hob. Searching on the app is a bit hit and miss. I'm glad I've name checked her anyway.

Sorry but I had doubts about that thread.

If DM hacks are turning troll to generate "lift" pieces (and getting MNers to open their hearts in the process) then that's even worse

I'm wondering if MNHQ collect a fee each time this happens, or whether they're not asserting any copyright they have, or what is going on?

Using the baby's name like that was particularly shitty, though

I agree MadamDeathstare. I hope it was a troll because the distress this is likely to have caused, is awful to think about

I didn't even study journalism, but submitted articles to two or three mags on a freelance basis. No way could I imagine simply cutting and pasting posts from a forum and calling it 'copy.' Not even if I was desperate. And if I had made such an error of judgement and was that lazy and crap, I can't think of one editor I dealt with, accepting such vile rubbish.

I shouldn't think MN are collecting a fee. What would it be for? They're allowed to use a third of content without breaching copyright. As threads and posts are relatively new concepts, from there it gets more difficult, but they could safely say they didn't take more than 33% of that whole thread. Just the OPs posts and a handful of responses.

It's horrendous, but as yet, there's no indication that MN are involved.

That's what I was trying to remember/fathom anchor. A third eh?
