The Australian public are barely aware that most news copy in Australia is written by barely literate hacks who see the safest route to mediocrity as cut and pasting whatever they read in News Corp papers.

Oh I think we are. As a former teacher, my hands itch to get out my red pen and correct some of the awful grammar and punctuation in the online articles I read. The ABC is a frequent offender. I swear all the editing is now done by Grammarly or ChatGPT. No actual human editor is involved.

Bit unfair to accuse journo’s of just cutting and pasting what they read in News Corp papers. They also cut and paste media releases! Apparently SOME editors lose sleep over this…well, OK… not enough.
