Woo-hoo! Journalism Fail!

[DardGhalawad]

I'm not sure if you're secretly agreeing with me or not. Kotaku is poor journalism at its finest and deserves nothing but contempt for it.

I'm not agreeing with you nor I'm agreeing, Kotaku is a website of web news, and off course is another sensancionalist web journal of the many that are inside the web. It just helped to spread that news of the main sensancionalist paper/web journal that writed the nonsense. Wich some of readers are players of FFXIV and one of them putted the warning in the forum with concern of the same and unjustly difamated game.

Notice: the smily is not to put a sarcastic tone on my reply, it's just there because the "unjustly difamated" phrase reminded me of a similar situation in the tv news, where the reporters of tv news and also from the journals tried to put a man in the jail because they wanted a scape goat for all the spreaded news that they delivered to, all the world i suppose. Where in fact he was totally inocent, just had been at the wrong hour and the wrong place where the murder happened.

Quick blame something for our own problems!

Oh I know, he played tetris and that made him a violent person!

Edit: Wolfie, Kotaku is reporting someone -elses- poor journalism, they are not the ones that screwed up.. this time.. lol

True, but they are the ones repeating it just to get more hits. It's disgusting the direction that site has gone in the past couple of years.

At least Tim Rogers articles don't get posted as often anymore.

You know, I bet 75% of all the murderers in the united states have at least heard of the game tetris.... maybe you found the key to all the violence!

That made me laugh so hard, I had to call my sister and tell her that one.

To be fair, it wasn't Kotaku that failed, it was the German Press. So meh

Nope, it was a single journalist from a Munich newspaper, not the German press.

IGN even pointed out that the FFXIV relation to this case was rather weak and unfitting.
The journalist said he got the FF account related information from the police, while the police report didn't mention the FFXIV account at all.

Some doof mentioned the killer played final fantasy online and he thought "surely that is where only people stab others repeatedly and in psychotic fashion! Never before has this happened before the game industry did so!"

To be fair, its a tabloid. Tabloids aren't known for the truth. One picture of any of us and they'd spin a tale about how we were leaving our husbands and taking the baby with us.
