Confessions of a Misguided Trio

Media Watch...

So this weeks award for headline of the week goes to The Australian (Thursday July 6, 2006), who in their 'The World' section gave us this doozy...

Interestingly enough on the very same day...

• North Korea launched seven (7) missiles...
• British Chancellor Gordon Brown told British troops in Afghanistan they could have "anything they need" to defeat the Taliban insurgency.
• Zimbabwe opposition MP Trudy Stevenson suffered head injuries and a badly broken arm when she was beaten by members of her own party.

These stories were all taken from the same page of The Australian, perhaps most disturbingly was the positioning of the space shuttle Discovery blasting off... Directly above the 'Viagra's rub-on rival begins to firm up' headline... (which blogger is currently preventing me of posting a picture of, so you're going to have to take my word for it)

Don't get me wrong, I'm not picking on the editorial staff off The Australian, I just found it quite comical and wanted to share...

Legal Stuff...Following the advice of my crack legal team, this post, as well as the Confessions of a Misguided Trio blog, is in no way affiliated with the Australian Broadcasting Corporations Media Watch program whose website is here.
