I can't quite see where Nouse have looked for opportunities to criticise them - maybe you're getting confused with other articles such as the Services Officer making racist comments, or the SU misrepresenting advice from 'experts' when passing the constitution. Oh, but hang on, they probably should have been criticised on these issues. Don't assume the paper goes out of its way to make the SU look incompetent - they're quite capable of doing that by themselves.

The YUSU Exec just attempted to add more structure to event planning, in order to better market the bar events across campus. Everybody has been very quick to ignore the absolutely crazy amount of work put in to saving the college bars and have instead looked for more reasons to criticise the SU! Give them a break!!
