On the front page of today's Daily Telegraph there's an item which begins:

I can only assume that the reporter and sub-editor responsible
have been out of the country for the last three weeks or so.

To be honest it's close to the lunatic fringe, to be honest. We know
most newspapers are economic with the truth but what is the
advantage to print such utter drivel? Will it really sell more
newspapers?

I don't think that in this case it was deliberate, but either ignorance
or stupidity.
