Various media publishers across the US denounced the comments by Dilbert creator Scott Adams as racist, hateful and discriminatory while saying they would no longer provide a platform for his work.

I used to be a massive fan of Dilbert. Played the PC Game, watched the TV Show, bought the calendars and read the comic strips, but watching Scott Adams just descend into this twisted hateful person is just heartbreaking.

The Dilbert comic strip has been dropped by the syndicator as well.

Boris Johnson has signed up as a columnist with the Daily Mail.

In a leader column on Friday, published before the news broke, the title said there was no evidence Johnson had knowingly misled Parliament (as the Commons Privileges Committee has found).

With an average ABC-audited circulation of 1.3 million, the Daily Mail on Saturday is the most-read print outlet in the UK.

The Daily Mail Australia editor, Felicity Hetherington, says that, driven partially by “a difficult time in the industry”, the company is offering a new subscription service at the end of the month.

The new Mail+ is a partial paywall for Australian users who sign up to receive “daily premium stories” and a “Best of The Mail” weekly newsletter for $1.99 a month.

Hetherington said paywalled stories will be “high-quality content on subjects that are of the most interest to our readers”.

So looks like we will have to pay to see stories about the latest stunt by some ex MAFS contestant.
