Been there, messed up the headline, got the T-shirt
If ever Crikey was to be accused of – and forgiven for – extreme schadenfreude, it will be over last week’s fun with News Ltd boss John Hartigan, who had harsh things to say about the site, along with Mumbrella.
As regular readers will recall, The Australian’s transcript of its boss’s speech unfortunately spelled the word “newspapers” wrong in the headline.
Crikey is now selling a T-shirt to commemorate the occasion. Dr Mumbo has already ordered his.
This is why I love the internets.

Dont forget ‘bloggers’ are evil and unpatriotic’…. I think that’s what he said or words to that effect. Imagine that, a News chief saying free speech is unpatriotic, welcome to 1984. These guys have seriously sold out to Government commands, instead of what’s good for the papers and the people. The Government creates laws that create a ‘registery’ of newspapers so they have approval to print, then sell ads then make money. When the Government creates a law about newspapers beingregistered each year, like a radio station it then can pull the papers right to publish, ie: exist if it prints things it doesnt like. Ahhh fascism, who ever thought it would just end with Bush out, and Fox (faux) news….
