Mistaken Identity In The Media

There's a test match being played in England at the moment between Pakistan, the home team, and Australia, the visitors. That's a funny story in itself being the first test match in England not to feature the home team in some 98 years or so. If you look at most of the English teams of late you'd be hard pressed to find any players that were born in England but that's another story.

What I found amusing was a report in The Telegraph, a respectable British newspaper, with a picture of left-handed Simon Katich. Or so they tell us. Make up your own mind. And they blame ACTION IMAGES as the source. I reckon it has more to do with poor editorial skills myself.

Left-handed Simon Katich?

Bikini Massage Follow-Up

In today's Sunday Times newspaper they ran a report almost exactly the same as my blog post regarding the bikini massage ad. There is another article on Perth Now's Website regarding the situation in Northbridge. Major difference between my post and the newspaper article is that they informed the police of their findings.

Funny, eh?

Is The West Australian Becoming A More Comprehensive Newspaper?

I have a nickname for the West Australian newspaper. I call it the Worst Australian as there isn't a great deal of depth in much that is reported. Now, The Times, on the other hand, is a fabulously prepared piece of literature.

It was recently reported that Ben Cousins was arrested for possession of prohibited drugs. I was starting to think that you would find more substance in Ben Cousins' car than the West Australian. There was also something mentioned about a scantily clad blonde accompanying him who was found to have traces of cocaine on a $20 note. But the police dropped the charge against Cousins.

Maybe, through no fault of its own, you can now find more substance in the West Australian than in Ben Cousins' car. It doesn't mean that the paper has improved however.
