Admittedly it was some ungodly hour in Australia and the sub-editors were busy on the newspaper layup – but I grabbed this screenshot from Rupert Murdoch’s the Australian.
I highlighted a couple of fascinating, if contradictory, headlines. According to Rupert’s rag Israel is eager to pull out of Lebanon, but they aren’t really… I think.
No wonder Fox viewers don’t have a clue, if this comes up in his serious broadsheet, it looks like his editors don’t have much clue either.
But maybe Rupert is just having a dollar each way, waiting to see which way the wind blows. Within minutes of talking the screen shot the front page was changed again with just one Israel story: Israelis ready to stay in Lebanon

Yes, it was cruel of me. I know how the subs work in Sydney, and can imagine the end of shift lot were just plonking stories for the graveyard to fix.
But I love the juxtaposition all the same.
