Nice summary Mr Dog. I still think an earlier comment; that we used to be able to tell when cartoon corner stopped and the news started; is more relevant than ever.
Perhaps if they label news “news”, and then label all the rest appropriately like, “negative misogynistic comment”, “personal naked power jealousy”, “cash for comment”, “dog whistling racists and supremacists”, ” forced to read this rubbish by mining magnate part owner”; at least those of us that can read can make a choice.
Call me a pedant-o-phile, but turbid for turgid is the must-have correction of the day. Not that I would question the FD lexicality, but turgid just screams ‘dud root’ to me.
So many laughs, don’t know where to start. A cornucopia of comedy. As a consumer of the Fink’s judgments over the years I was inclined to read the report for auld lang syne (how long is it again ?). Thankfully I’ve been saved by trained professionals who can do the thinking for me. One major issue: the Sun is a mere million times larger than the Earth. Could it handle injection of a major quantity of hot gas like Bob Ellis ?

But: “turbid”, I think, not “turgid”. #pedantry
