The SMH is increasingly irrelevant. Obviously.

It’s probably beneath me to take aim at gossip columns, whose barrels are positively bursting with fish, but The Sydney Morning Herald‘s Stay In Touch page is now the most ironically named section of any newspaper anywhere in the world. It’s very likely that by reading this poor man’s Sydney Confidential you are likely to be rendered instantly less in touch with Sydney and indeed the rest of the world. It’s gone the way of all bad gossip columns, becoming little more than a clearing house for entertainment stories that didn’t quite make the cut in the news pages.

Yawn.
