This is the way news works now. Speculation regurgitated as fact, swallowed as news, excreted as statistic, rehashed as opinion and commented on as though it were a completely different article about something else entirely. Since the 100% true story from history of that emperor who wasn’t wearing any clothes but everyone agreed that he was wearing clothes because the SMH had picked up a picture of some clothes from Reuters, news has been full of circle-jerk hearsay, the kind of drippy dribbling mouth to mouth communication that coughs itself up into a foetid phlegm of hot, secondhand, coagulated lung fluid. Or so I hear. I’ll have to check Wikipedia. Let’s just agree to agree that the News is as fukt as the world or that Ikea table I shouldn’t have just tried to sit on, and I don’t know that we can fix it. Just, maybe don’t trust it with your full bodyweight.
Read the whole article. I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
