journalist was wrong... other journalists tell all!

Looks like Terry Lane has earnt the ire of the Herald Sun again! I'm sure he's deeply hurt by their lack of faith.

SUNDAY Age columnist Terry Lane has been caught out again quoting unreliable Internet sources, despite a similar "almighty stuff-up" last year leading him to offer his resignation.

It is the second time Lane has used spurious Internet claims to back anti-George W. Bush attacks in the paper – and this time to criticise Federal Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd.

Its good to see his boss standing up for him this time. Last time he pretty much hung him out to dry. But there are fighting words from The Sunday Age's editor this time;

"I think Terry Lane has made an assertion in an opinion piece," Mr Fray said. "It's a bit like me critiquing everything that Andrew Bolt has claimed. If we critiqued him like you're critiquing Terry, we'd have someone online from The Age calling you everyday.

Amen!

Still, one can only assume that if the Herald Sun is so strident in their criticism of just these two pieces from Terry, then they must agree wholeheartedly with his multitude of other writings for the Age. Like this one;

Sending in another 20,000 soldiers to search and destroy is not the way to liberate Iraq, writes Terry Lane.

Liberation goes like this. You see a country under occupation or ruled by a tyrant; you send in the army to drive the occupiers out or to depose the tyrant; then you bow to the natives' grateful applause and go home. Simple.

Or this one. Or this. Or this.

Stick with it, Terry. I still loves ya!
