Do the media ever get it right?

Correct me if I'm wrong. I haven't had my coffee yet...

The Age article describes this as "One of Virgin Australia's new A330 wide-body aircraft."

Oops obviously the editor missed that.

Is it just me or does our paint job suck?

Still not liking it. Looks like a short term lease interim livery.

Simple question and equally simple answer - NO!!

They are a lazy bunch with no wish to ensure the story is correct. Even if they decide to gather facts by interviewing stakeholders, they only then print/report what they wish, to ensure the story reads/sounds like they want it to - primarily to ensure sales of the copy they have produced.
