Newspaper, eh

Some "haters" out there have accused the The Age of being nothing but a glossy tabloid no better than the rags of Murdoch. I sort of see where they're coming from with headlines* like this:

Miner's wife shared 'telepathic connection'

The hell? I can't believe The Age mentions this "story" which is being reported in that stellar Aushtrayan publication known as New Idea. It is intereting though that it took the rescue team five days to locate the miners. Surely the wife's telepathic abilities could have helped? Stupidity truly is the flame that never goes out.

*In the name of humanity, I downright refuse to hyperlink this particular "article".
