in the arse!
The column that has fun with the smaller mistakes and missteps of Australia’s mainstream mediocre; that pays homage to those sweet little fishes that individually don’t amount to a full meal but collectively can cause a tummy upset over the overall state of the once great and noble craft of journalism in this country.
The clip at top is clearly not a mistake in the Australian mediocre but we hope you won’t mind us leading off this column with it seeing it’s a beauty!
Respected former newspaper columnist and editor Terry Sweetman spotted this one the other day. GB News is a London-based TV and radio outlet, and it seems fitting that the country that gave us the language we call English came up with this wonderful howler.
That inadvertent mention of King Charles the Third’s arse came at about the same time that social media vision appeared of that packed Celtic football stadium in Scotland with the vast majority of fans singing “You can shove the coronation up your arse!”

Okay, back to the little hiccups across the Australian mainstream mediocre. Some chap by the name of Barrie Cassidy spotted this one in The Daily Torygraph.
As Barrie points out, a spat is a trivial argument. Perhaps the powers-that-be at The Daily Torygraph and Newscorpse in general regard alleged domestic violence as a silly, momentary flareup between loving couples that quickly blows over.

Mediocre Bytes is just a little bit miffed that the ABC TV promo for Chucky’s coronation this weekend is still referring to it as the moment he will “ascend the throne” when we quite clearly told them the other day that was wrong. We politely pointed out that Charles had ascended/acceded to the throne the very moment his dear mum whispered: “It’s time for One to toddle off by One’s self” and shuffled off this mortal coil last year.
We thought that after our intervention, the ABC as a professional organisation always wanting to get their facts right would have desisted immediately from spreading this fallacy. So, yes, we are miffed and just a little bit hurt, too, if the truth be known.
