| 3. | journo | ||

Corporate journalist (political slang word). aka propagandist.
Journos are scumbags who tape people fighting the cops and stuff like that, knowing damn well that the cops will get the pictures off them and use them to persecute people, but who go ahead regardless, and then act all shocked when their cameras get smashed and they get chased off. Also responsible for most of the disinformation which people take for "common sense" - for instance, the idea that the US has "liberated" Iraq. For every one good journalist, there's ten or twenty who are corporate whores. Some favourite journo tricks:
more...
Make out before a demo that there's going to be loads more people than they will, and that there'll be trouble when there won't - thereby making an excuse for repression - and then when the crisis fails to materialise, attribute this to the repressive policing which was legitimated by the initial scare stories. e.g. London Mayday. Just ignore events which don't fit your worldview or your story. For instance, only ever cover violent protests and ignore any where there's no trouble. Or don't bother covering the protest itself - just make a fuss about how there was "no violence" and this was all the cops' doing. c.f. non-coverage of the third day of protests at the Gothenburg EU summit (because they were peaceful). Cut bits from out of interviews so everyone says what you want them to say. For instance, in the Rushdie affair, local news put on an Asian saying the book had stirred controversy and a white guy saying he defended free speech. All very stereotypical. But get the full transcript and you find the Asian guy said he supported the book even though it caused controversy, and the white guy was a Nazi who wanted Asians out of Britain, rambled on forever and just said a little snippet about free speech in the middle. It was cut and pasted to make it fit preconceptions. Get all your info from a single biased source. For instance, info on protests and on "race relations" comes from the police. If the police are your only so... |

| 4. | Eurape | ||
|
1. The policy, widely practised by computer and video game companies, of releasing systems and titles to European markets substantially later than corresponding releases in the United States and Japan. The UK was the victim of Eurape once again, as the promised simultaneous worldwide launch of the PlayStation 3 failed to materialise.

| 5. | Shafted | ||
|
(a)An organised meeting between two groups that fails to materialise with no reason given.
'Shafted' is a segment on Are You*th Being Served? a youth engagement radio show that runs on switch 1197 in Brisbane, Australia. It came from an arranged interview between the shows hosts and the Beaconsfield Miners and was confirmed only 2 hours prior to said interview. The Beaconsfield Miners became famous in 2006 when stuck down a mine 'shaft' for 2 weeks and hence why the segment is appropriately named 'shafted'. The show now actively seeks interviews with famous people when the ultimately know they will be 'shafted' for that interview. "We tried getting Paris Hilton on the show this week, but she 'shafted' us"

The urge to revisit a refrigerator every twenty seconds in the hope that something more appetising will somehow have materialised there in the meantime. I'm getting frigophilia. I'm hungry, but not that hungry. Basically I'm bored.
