As the meeja world turns?
“THAT
quacking sound you can hear in the distance is Tony Abbott. The Opposition
Leader is slowly but surely turning into a sitting duck, a stationary target
for government and media pot shots.
The
other bird sound you can make out, whenever Abbott says or does something
silly, is the crow's cry that Graham Kennedy mimicked years ago on television
and that got him into so much trouble. Textspeak boils it down to three
letters, WTF.
Pretty
soon, if he doesn't rewire the pathway from his brain to his mouth and change
his strategy, the cocks will start crowing loudly too, as they always do when a
leader is in trouble, and especially when the polls begin to narrow as they are
doing.”{Niki

Dumbing Down The News: Google decides tourism promotions with a biblical theme are important news
This nonsense was displayed by Google News on 28 October 2012:
The Dead Sea is the stuff of biblical legend and mystery. In the book of Genesis, Moses explains the Dead Sea was formed when God told Lot and his family to flee the area. They were told not to look back. Lot's wife couldn't resist, and when she did look back, she was turned into a pillar of salt - and the Dead Sea was born.
A ride from the airport to Dead Sea Spa Hotel
“You know Jordan is a country rich with biblical history, Dead Sea which is mentioned a lot in the bible is where I am taking you people. You will be residing in a hotel which is constructed along its shores, another place you should not miss to see is Mt Nebo which is famously known in the world history because it is the place where Moses died and his remains where buried there.”
