Today’s news in brief:
My dad used to say ‘if wit were shit, you'd be constipated.’ Well if that were true, then the late great Sir Terry Wogan was the gastroenteritis of the airwaves.
He was the king of banter, back when banter meant informal conversation and not mediocre high street chicken and chips.
He was wise and warm and folksy back when those things were positive traits - before deadpan sarcasm and passive-aggressive sniping became the way to entertain people.
Rest in peace Mr Wogan. Radio 2 will never be the same again.
Now… on with the passive-aggressive sarcasm:
‘Media ban’ apparently a complicated concept
Cleavage is still totally not news
Friends update social media
Woman wears dress
Actual news hiding in the celebrity pages
Paparazzi stalks woman
Stop the press: man has shave
Pregnant woman looks pregnant
Woman doesn't dress for the weather
Woman conforms to media's narrow definition of beauty
Nudes in brief: Rita Ora
And finally: woman caught wearing comfortable clothes
Reading the news so you don’t have to…
