racist angle aside, I am somewhat amused at their attempt to paint Biden as some sort of doddery old man. Have they not heard Trump try to string a coherent sentence?

Designed for the premium, hard-to-reach prestige consumer, Luxury & Lifestyle will draw content from The Australian, WISH, The Weekend Australian Magazine, Vogue Australia, GQ Australia and Vogue Living as well as original content creation.
David Meagher, Editor of The Australianâs monthly luxury lifestyle magazine WISH, will curate the new section and edit the weekly Luxury & Lifestyle newsletter.
Interesting timing for a Lifestyle and Luxury launch in the middle of a pandemic.
News Corp announced yesterday that Hibernation, a daily supplement hurriedly launched in March during the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown, would become Smart Daily from Monday, August 31. The publisher said the aim of Smart Daily was âto help all of us, no matter where we are, to live our lives smarter, in an engaging new section across all platformsâ. Sunriseâs Edwina Bartholomew, one of the new columnists, will write on Fridays.
Like Hibernation, Smart Daily will be published in The Daily Telegraph, Herald Sun, The Courier-Mail and The Advertiser.
Itâll be gone by next year. They did the same thing during the worst of the GFC.

VICTORIANS are increasingly turning to the Herald Sunâs trusted and agenda-setting news coverage during the COVID-19 second wave, with nation-leading readership results in print and digital reinforcing the mastheadâs position as the stateâs most influential media brand.
The official June audience figures reveal the Herald Sun and Sunday Herald Sun are the most-read newspapers in Australia across every day of the week, and are among a handful of major papers across the country to record audience gains.
Over the past three months, the Saturday Herald Sun and Sunday Herald Sun have posted the best audience growth for major metropolitan mastheads in Australia, with the Saturday paper jumping 3.8 per cent to 676,000 readers and the Sunday edition lifting 3.1 per cent to 633,000 readers.
By contrast, the Saturday Age dropped 5.6 per cent to 370,000 and the Sunday Age slumped 8.1 per cent to 239,000.
With an audience of 858,000 people, the Herald Sunâs Monday to Friday editions cemented their position as Australiaâs mostread newspapers, while the weekday Age fell 5.1 per cent to 393,000.
The figures from emma â Enhanced Media Metrics Australia â show the total print and digital audience of the Herald Sun, Sunday Herald Sun and heraldsun.com.au is the biggest in Victoria at 2.9 million readers. This is a particularly impressive result given heraldsun.com.au is almost entirely a subscriberonly website, while Nine Entertainmentâs mastheads, such as The Age, give away much of their journalism for free before readers have to subscribe.
Along with strong newspaper sales, the Herald Sunâs digital subscriptions are surging to new records and heraldsun.com.au posted a remarkable 25 per cent increase in audience in July, the biggest readership growth in Australia across the top 20 paid and free news websites.

Nicely ignoring that chunks of some articles are reproduced for free consumption on news.com.au, which is a far more popular website than any of News Corpâs metro websites.
