Peter Ford said on 3AW’s Ross and John this morning that Daniel Johns just wanted an apology from News Corp about the false article as he was worried about his mother. Money was not an issue.

They got the wrong man of the same name. Completely unrelated individuals.

Mistook a mining exec for a jailed male from Nowra.

Time to improve their fact checking.

I see Amy Harris is still writing for the Telegraph as is Jonathon “J.Mo” Moran.

In any normal company, it would beggar belief why.

Late Edition of today’s Courier Mail :laughing:

The Weekend Australian editor Michelle Gunn will add the weekday edition to her role. Gunn is the first female to edit The Australian and the first person to edit both weekday and weekend editions in many years.

Editing weekday and weekend is an example of more cost cutting.

If you’re cynical, you’d think the blokes had given up and given a female the funeral rites however this paper won’t die as long as Rupert is alive.

And at its worst?

Most days. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Why does News Corp have a vendetta with Ellen DeGeneres right now?

Often they’ve done this to celebrities who have said or done something against their conservative agenda but this relentless attack has been going on for weeks now. They’ve been trawling through everything she’s done in her life and reporting it with a negative spin. Every single day there is a story on the News website about how she is mean, awful and today a “villain”.

Why are they pursuing her like this? Why Ellen in particular?

They’ve seen an opportunity to put the knife in, largely thanks to a Twitter thread from last year about what its like to work for her. The coverage was popular, so they go again - and the cycle continues.

Add onto this her alleged poor treatment & pay cuts to employees during COVID, and prior to the above viral twitter thread the massive criticism she copped for her friendship with George W Bush.

News Corp has only got onto the bandwagon because it’s getting clicks.

Popular, well-liked celebrity turns out to be not nice? In this day and age, its got clicks written all over it

Cancel culture is weirdly popular

But the attack is incessant. There’s a “new” story at the top of their site every single. Must be a lot of clicks to keep doing it.

I just wonder if there’s some other business deal that soured which is making them pursue her like this.
