The BFD Stuff Up of the Day
The Headline in Stuff referring to the destruction of the Kirwee pub reads: Historic pub ‘totally damaged’ Christmas tragedy in Kirwee as 100-year-old pub engulfed in a blaze on Christmas Eve. Looking at the article we are left in no doubt that the building was totally destroyed, not
The BFD Face of the Day: FAKE news LOSES
CNN has settled a lawsuit with a Kentucky teen who claimed media organisations falsely labeled him as a racist following a publicised encounter with a Native American last year at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington. […] Video of the encounter showed Sandmann and Phillips standing close to each other, with the
The BFD Stuff Up of the Day
Fact check needed for Stuff. A reader informs me that Steve Smith is not the Aussie captain.
Sorry for Sticking to the Speed Limit
Let me be really clear: This is a headline from Stuffed. It is not my headline. It is, however, the sort of egregious nonsense, uttered by holier than thou idiots on our roads, that drives most of us to complete and utter despair. They usually turn out to be the
The BFD Stuff Up of the Day
This Zinger from “A Newspaper” makes me wonder if they speak English in their newsroom.
Media Yawn At The War On Christians
Brent Bozell Tim Graham PA Pundits – International The secular media greet Christmas as a shopping season, and not as a special time for Christianity. They can devote hours of December “news” on which hot toys or gadgets would make great gifts, but not to segments on Christ and his birth.

Simon Wilson BUSTED for Making Sh*t up & The Herald Drags the Chain Making Amends
The Herald and Simon Wilson have been busted for making shit up and worse still is the extremely tardy response from the Herald in rectifying their errors. The Media Council is damning: The Media Council has ruled an article alleging that death threats had been posted on the Community Action
As I Predicted Here Come the Death Threats

Stuff Up of the Day
Stuff has been at it again. I think they meant to say “risk“. Any flood will give boaties a rise.
Simple-minded Headlines
George “How to clean your messy car” is just one of the simple-minded headlines I discovered on Stuff yesterday. I didn’t read the rubbish as I have figured out all by myself how to clean a messy car. Verity Johnson, Stuff opinion journalist, on the other hand, has
John Campbell’s High Emotional Intelligence
Over 20 years ago, emotional intelligence was considered highly desirable and cultivating that trait was all on. Media presenter John Campbell developed it, using it very successfully for a time, but unfortunately for him, viewers cottoned on to its manipulative nature. Taking a sliver of truth and pushing that sliver
Stuff Up of the Day
A tragedy certainly. All the more reason to check the content carefully. Too hard for Stuff. This example shows 3 sentences at the end of the article, one after another, none of which make sense. * 5 nautical miles from where? * Swept into the Pacific Islands? * What are the national assets?
