A well-known and highly – respected local
news journalist is facing the wrath of his employers this morning
after making a series of sensational confessions on the internet.
Mr Hugh Jardon , that doyenne of journalism, joined in a conversation
in an internet chatroom, not realising he was talking to one of
our investigative reporters. During their “chat”, Mr
Jardon openly admitted to writing a serious story and having it
printed in the News Letter.
Mr. Jardon’s employers, the upmarket Sunday
Filth, made little public comment on the affair, although the editor,
Jim McBowel – Movement claimed that if the stories were true,
he would be disappointed at one of his most respected writers being
reduced to genuine journalism.
Here is a short transcript of the internet chat.
The identity of our reporter has been disguised.
Jardon - …..and I didn’t
know those nice guys were from the IRA. I honestly thought they
only wanted to take yer man a wee present and so why wouldn’t
I tell them where he lived?
Shoombanka - Was that not
all a bit serious though – I mean you’re better known
for the juicy stuff and not thon political cr*p
Jardon - if you only knew!
Shooms – Knew what?
Jardon - Keep it to yourself,
won’t ye - but I did a wee piece once for the News Letter!
Shooms - What!!!!!!
Jardon - And I’ve written
one or two things which were actually quite sensible and interesting.
But for Gawds sake don’t tell anyone – it would ruin
my reputation and wreck my career. Even I wouldn’t wanna do
that to anyone.
Shooms – Talking about
that, did Roger the Todger say who scored a five pointer that night
in Amsterdam?......
