Reason given is that some unspecified amount of quoted experts contacted the publisher protesting that they had been quoted either without their consent and/or had their quotes mischaracterized/presented out of context.
Unpublished is something you never published, maybe because you saw its full of crap and didn't want your name associated with obviously spurious claims.
The word you fucks are dancing around is "Retraction". Of course, when issuing one it's best practice to describe which parts of the original publication didn't meet journalistic standards. Then again, you need to have some of those first.
It seems to be an Aussie rag, that might well be the term they use there lol. Usually a 40% chance they'll have a slightly dumber word for any given concept
Guys guys it was not a queer purge it was a queer purge, it was queer people doing the purging
:blob-stabby:
Turning my gender inside out and declaring my unfailing loyalty to the incoming queer regime.
My interpretation of this is that its not necessarily that anyone directly debunked the claims within.
But that the author has played fast and loose with identifiable sources enough for them to complain directly to the publisher, which fundamentally calls into question the conduct with other parts like anonymous sources that are harder to verify and challenge.
So the publisher is not eager to sit around for someone to dig up even more misconduct and errors in a way that will reflect badly on them publicly, and got ahead of that scenario.
Yeah obviously that too.
Mainly posted this because for one I know some people at least partially took these articles claims seriously on here, and also I added that interpretation cause I know people like to exaggerate stuff like this with "They admit they lied!" or something like that.
Explain the picture to me, because I don’t know if you actually know what’s going on with that screenshot
I’m guessing you were referring to the “Lock out these refugee thugs. Rape outrage the last straw as migrants flout our laws”
What you haven’t seen is below that it saids “Taken from the Herald Sun”
Here’s the article
https://www.crikey.com.au/2007/02/21/the-latest-hot-button-issue-scary-sudanese-people/
Although I can’t read the entire article, given the initial tone and Crikey’s history, I’m going to say it’s going to be critical of the right wing media framing
Read the analysis from Media Bias Fact Check

Given this article was from 2007, well before Crikey’s sale, I’m going to say that yes it was a credible news source then.

okay that makes sense, sorry for the misunderstanding
Is your excuse that this is just how racist the average Australian is? Because you'd be right, but it's not a great defense.

You know that's fair enough. I really just wanted the opportunity to talk about how much I hate racist Australians.
China's queer purge
Once a year everyone gets to be gay and do crimes.
As usual, any news about china from westerners is always incredibly bunk. From the few tweets i've seen of lgbt people from china, it seems like things aren't perfect, but much better than most western countries.
If you spread anti-China propaganda, even well-meaning, you're a White Supremacist.
The author recently started working for abcnews as a journalist, maybe we should let them know.
