This blog’s new favourite other blog is having a busy week. Probably Bad News (strap line: ‘News Fails, because journalism isn’t dying fast enough’) is the perfect antidote to all this do-gooding, civil liberty-protecting stuff elsewhere on the web.
Probably Bad News concerns itself only with (trivial) media gaffes such as a classic Santa/Satan mix-up, a fantastic bit of government logic, and an unfortunate advertising clash on a Paralympic Games photo gallery.
For a favourite, we go back a few weeks to the type of correction you rarely see in UK papers any more:
