ERRONEOUS: Brad Norington the latest casualty in the War on Error
When a media feeding frenzy is on, plenty of errors get chewed up mid-binge. It’s the nature of the game in some ways.
The Australian’s Brad Norington, a quirky yet usually well regarded scribe in that newspaper’s patriotic family, today claimed that billionaire Richard Pratt was the godfather of Deb Beale who was recently in the newspapers.
VEXNEWS has learned this is not the case. Ms Beale has a godfather who is not Richard Pratt.
Mr Norrington was not immediately available for comment on his embarrassing error.
Media insiders say it indicated that his sources were not particularly good or that Norington was attempting to add a creative fiction element to his repertoire of writing, that has included a biography of former ACTU boss Jennie George and political/industrial reporting over many years.
