Take a break for a bit and read, rinse and recycle the first twenty or so pages of this thread...it's pretty funny how set we were in our opinions (which haven't shifted much).

How's the weather up there today tonyo.  Big Grin  Big Grin  Big Grin

I had every intention, but it wasn't within my 5km zone......

This is now the longest premiership drought in the history of the Carlton Football Club - more evidence of climate change?

Zika in 2016 never really impacted.
no doubt Covid will.

Usually in the form of Full New York Front Page, news break, bulletin leading headline today, followed by small isolated local regional blurb Page. 65 technical clarification tomorrow, framed in a low contrast font and positioned below a full colour bare breasted tattooed angel called Baby! In regions where nudity offends, in the 3rd last column of the wanted Ads under a heading of Possible Correction.

You're probably on the mark here LP. This circular technique or similar apparently is used even more widely to establish desired narratives for political purposes and retractions are not always forthcoming.

I read an article recently about a news site that was ordered to print a retraction. For the life of me, I can’t remember the site or even if it was in the US or Aus. But the site printed the retraction at the bottom of the Users Terms of Use! The editor tried to argue this was the appropriate place for it but the judge didn’t agree  ;D

EDIT: A man sued over a segment on Channel 10’s The Project insinuating he was to blame for the death of another man (in an admittedly weird scenario). Channel 10 printed the “clarification” on its Terms of Use page: Ten slammed by judge for hiding defamation statement on Terms of Use page

At least he doesn’t have to worry about COVID ?

[member=827]capcom[/member]‍, if you know it is probably rubbish reporting why re-post the link then, why give it even more notoriety here?

Actually they are published quite often for legal purposes but you won't see them easily, cynically they might be in a 4 or 6 pt font suitably obscured by vague language or cluttered design to ensure finding them is like finding a toothpick surrounded by mighty oak trees.

News Ltd are professionals at feeding the chickens, with recycled dead chicken.

Been looking for the retraction of the Biden story, have you seen anything?

Best way to find them is wait for the court case, then News Corp Ltd will tell you where, when and which edition they hid it in!

Reminds me of when the Treasurer tells the public about those previously gazetted tax changes!
(Gazetted in a Special Edition at 7pm on a Friday night before a long weekend, which by the following Tuesday morning has become the previous/past edition that nobody read!) ;D
