From Newsweekon-line: Media experts tell Newsweek that while Murdoch may be now performatively distancing himself and his organizations from Trump, Fox News might undergo a turbulent few months, but will still be the place to go where right learning viewers get their news.

See anything askew?

Nope, nothing leaning one way or the other...

"...right learning viewers?"

Ah well. Clearly a typo. I have noticed online editions aren't edited as well as paper editions.

I was more intrigued by "performatively"...

How's this for awkward phrasing? From the local newspaper: "He is one of at least 115 Hoosier workers who have have died on the job annually"

They each die once a year? Gosh, I thought once was enough!

Sounds ominous. Were they all in the same line of work? Does it happen only in Indiana?

OMG. Where were the editors?

I read a police blotter report in our little local paper, and they talked about the perpetrator "fleaing." I thought that was hilarious!

A dog stealing sausages, maybe?

A flea and a fly in a flue
Were imprisoned, so what could they do?
Said the fly, “let us flee!”
“Let us fly!” said the flea.
So they flew through a flaw in the flue.

Ogden Nash

That has always been one of my favorites.

Or this:

Fleas

Adam had 'em

I always thought this was a Nash poem, too, but this site disputes that

And a bit more typo-goofery: https://www.theguardian.com/me...st-grauniad-mistakes

Hilarious that they misspelled "misspell!"

What an entertaining article, Geoff. This is my favorite: “the Guardian carried an article from Finland’s Helsingin Sanomat newspaper, giving a byline to Jatkuu Seuraavalla Sivulla, which a reader advised was not the author’s name but the Finnish for ‘continued on the next page’.”

Yes!
