Yes, oh yes – it’s Friday and the Brisbane Times, that paragon of journalistic flair, is at it again. Behold today’s top stories:
1. Mother injects baby with faeces water
2. ‘Disrespectful son’ locked in room for 12 years
4. Marriage ‘won’t last six months’
5. Pregnant 11yo seeks abortion
Personally, I feel the devotion of multiple news articles to Maria Sharapova’s shirt marks a new low in reporting standards. To quote Xander ofΒ Buffy the Vampire SlayerΒ fame: and on the day the words ‘flimsy excuse’ were redefined, we sat and watched in awe.
Well, sat and read, anyway. You get the idea.
