..and they only have themselves to blame!

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.

It’s shocking news such as this recent up-page heading from The Sydney Morning Herald (at top and below) that makes you realise how little sympathy must exist out there for the Iranian theocratic Islamic republic of 90-million plus people.

That ‘‘civilization will die tonight” US President Donald Trump threatened some hours ago, clearly enraged by what the Iranian armed forces did to a couple of US jets and helicopters simply out on a mission to try to teach the nation that has existed for 2600 years to behave itself. And sure, the thought of a brave American pilot alone in a God-forsaken land would be more than excuse enough for the world’s greatest military ever to rightly kill millions of muzzies as retribution for heinous acts of uncalled for aggression, even if some woke sissies might call obliterating bridges, power plants and civilian infrastructure war crimes!

STOP PRESS: Iran and the US appear to have struck a two-week ceasefire deal that Israel and most likely Uncle Sam will both ignore in one way or another as they usually do

Here’s one of those picky, picky, little ones we cover quite a lot because they happen all the bloody time. Whoever wrote the news strap at the bottom of ABC’s News Breakfast this morning (Wednesday) obviously got sucked in by all the Ss mentioned.

So what was it in Matt Canavan’s possession that launched his miracle economic plan?
His backyard coalmine? His doctorates in advanced economic theory? Just a gut feeling?

As with a lot of these simply little fuckups, they don’t amount to a hill of beans really but MB’s beef has always been how long it takes to correct such piddling mistakes. Knowing the ABC, tomorrow’s News Breakfast will still be running that strap.
