News24

Long ago I gave up on the journalistic quality of everyone's favourite online South African news source. However, like any good car crash neck-crainer, I still pull their headlines into my Netvibes page. Thusly, I was treated to the little Robbers take TV, but leave R2 gem. My spidey-senses tell me that's front page news if I've ever seen it. I particularly love how "after the men fled with her television set, a DVD-player and a Sony Playstation, she ran after them, calling them names". I the spirit of newsworthy news the article was originally published in PE's Die Burger. I really do love the news coverage in PE. It is such an accurate refelction of it's people who sincerely believe the world begins at Dispatch and ends somewhere just after Colchester. Particularly close to my heart is The Herald; when the tsunami hit south east asia on boxing day 2004, The Herald still chose to run with the "Danny K plays boxing day concert at St Francis" headline. A friend of mine from the beloved village of PE once defended existence of the paper saying "well everyone buys it to see who has died". Bless their little souls.
