Jonathan Moran has retweeted his front page story a few times this morning. Rush responds.
That front page is disgraceful! I agree that if he’s proven to be innocent then his defamation payout will be enormous.
I think it’s time to get rid of the ‘pun’ writers at the papers. More and more they’re coming up with ridiculous heading that are often different to the actual story. This heading is a shocker and should never have been approved.
