Well said, Colonel T Potter! Anything you wanted to add that sums up the absolute frustration the compilers of this column feel over the latest fuckup by SMH “subeditors”?

PERFECT! We couldn’t have said it better … well not in a family newszine such as this one with so many children logged in.

So what’s the latest basic subbing mistake made by some ignorant or plain lazy lard arse who plunked themselves for a “subbing” shift on Wednesday night? This…

FROM FRONT PAGE! Never in the history of the printed newspaper has page three been called the front page. Well, not until the SMH decided some years ago when four-page advertising wraparounds began and the editorial powers-that-be decided to make the page three in the book look like the real cover or front page even though it wasn’t.

So once more for the latest in a long list of “subs” incapable of sitting their arses down for a night shift and just checking what’s page 1 and what’s page 3, here we go again….

It’s not rocket surgery, is it! When you sit your lazy arse down for a shift, stop dreaming about your first smoko break and do the professional thing and inquire how the next morning’s book is to be folioed!

So, once more, the image on the left is the COVER PAGE or the FRONT PAGE or PAGE ONE!

The one on the right is PAGE 3. It it NOT and never will be the COVER PAGE or the FRONT PAGE or PAGE ONE!
