‘We’re not dead yet,’ groans the Sydney Morning Herald
Doctor Mumbo always appreciates a good Monty Python impersonation so last night he was delighted to receive one from Sydney Morning Herald editor, Lisa Davies.
In her email explaining the SMH is far from defunct under the Nine-Fairfax merger, Lisa did a wonderful version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s ‘Bring Out Your Dead’ skit.
If, like The Age, they keep giving it away for free, they will, as sure as a Monty Python dead parrot, be defunct.
Unlike most other scribblings from the former Fairfax, the email was clearly subbed before release. Let us be grateful for small mercies. The comparison with Mark Twain is still rather forced, though.
I can’t find a pulse …!?
If it reported the news instead of its left-winged bias, I’d care.
