But if Brown is single again then it’s not fake news? The SMH has had a gossip column of sorts for decades though. Long time columnist Andrew Hornery never makes up stories - and he is usually spot on.

But now gossip is spreading throughout the newspaper and written by many “journalists”. When a story is based on a photo of a woman talking to another man as proof she has broken up with her boyfriend, then you know it’s pure speculation, rumour mongering and probably wrong.
Liv, 29, has been spotted at Tamarama getting close with a barrage of blokes after a surf session while Chris, 40, is away in South Africa filming I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here!
A bystander reported the petite blonde seemed close to one male in particular, emerging from the ocean looking “smitten”.
How can I refute such evidence.

I can see the link but they had an interview with Tim Worner taking up a whole page in SMH yesterday too so it seems balanced. Today is a talked about show, there’s news value in profiling Boney because she is the first Indigenous woman to present on a commercial tv breakfast show I think.

Glad to finally see the back of her. She’s got terrible politics. Not someone you can be proud of.

Won’t be missed. The lefty’s apologist, The Saturday Paper will pick her up now.

I was never a fan but she sometimes provided respectful commentary. Mostly though it was angry, abusive and nasty ranting that detracted from the really good points she was often trying to make.
