Default Another great piece of A Current Affair quality journalism - Hoon plates

Anyone see ACA last week?

They had an older country guy, wearing a hat, driving a Renault Scenic RX4 SUV and was complaining that VicRoads was trying to take the personalised numberplate "HOON" off him.

They did mention his name - Gary Rogers. They didn't mention that he owns a V8 Supercar race team and has been involved in motorsport for decades.

Here is the ACA article http://aca.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=1079251

Here is some info on Gary Rogers that Channel 9 forgot to mention
http://www.grmotorsport.com.au/html/s01_home/home.asp

Was this a set up of ACA by GRM? - what a classic!
Did ACA know who he was but just decided not to mention it - very poor integrity and misleading journalism

There are 82 comments on the article at this time and no one has mentioned anything about who Gary Rogers is.

It goes to show how shows like ACA can show just one side of the story.
