Opportunistic Journalism

[Canary42]

My newspaper produced a report of the defeat last weekend of the New Zealand rugby team (by the South African team) under the headline "ALL BLACKS ON THEIR KNEES" - conveniently with a picture of the NZ team on their knees performing the Haka.

Nice comic touch.

And as we all know, it's their knees that matter: apparently.

That's interesting OG, I didn't know that but I can see it makes sense.

Define 'opportunistic' in regard to newspaper reports.

Hoping that a headline which could be read as potentially rude or offensive will make it past the sub-editing stage and be published.

What was it about this particular story that so offended you? And you're stupid if you believe any British newspaper published a headline like the one you have chosen to illustrate your ridiculous point.
