  1. I contacted the Herald-Sun, who denied everything and promised to look into it. Conveniently, the article in question doesn’t list an author, so there’s no one to pin the blame on. It wasn’t a case of misquoting or misunderstanding either, it was a deliberate smear. It’s been a while since I studied journalism and law, but I’m pretty sure the Herald-Sun can get in trouble for editing quotes in a deliberate attempt to smear like that. But it is a tabloid that offers churnalism, not journalism, so que sera sera.
