Telegraph and SMH fail in their responsibilities

First of all, it's LABOR party, not Labour. Second, it's not Labour but LABOR. Do you want to be told for the third time? It is a newspaper's obligation to get its story and its spelling right, every time. The Daily Telegraph and the SMH continually flout their duty to us, the readers. We have a right to expect our media to do the one thing that underlies their game, and that is the English language. Sloppy grammar, lousy spelling and incorrect reporting are grounds for dismissal. You people set the standards for us Australians and you let us down every day with your 'couldn't care less' attitude toward your job.
