Several of those tweets can no longer be found ('least I can't find them) and the URL of others appear to have gained two extra digits, rendering the links invalid. I have updated a couple of those you cite.<br /><br />Can anyone explain how URLs are reborn with extra digits? Also, it's worth bearing in mind that Twitter is a peculiar beast, with some tweets taking considerable time to appear (sometimes).<br /><br />It is hard to believe that a pillar of journalism would tamper with the record, so let us just put it down to Twitter's vagaries.Bunyiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14668398379654771814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-12746592758914673542011-11-05T07:15:14.506+11:002011-11-05T07:15:14.506+11:00Prof, it looks like the cleaners have been busy at...Prof, it looks like the cleaners have been busy at Twitter. <br />Now, early Saturday morning, four of your links return:<br />"Sorry that page doesn't exist"<br />The failed links are:<br />...getting all huffy...<br />...one of the tweets...<br />...despite this message...<br />...we won...Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15372213190811407871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-50152154572041275382011-11-04T20:58:47.504+11:002011-11-04T20:58:47.504+11:00So Marg is off to Melbourne Uni.What's the bet...So Marg is off to Melbourne Uni.What's the betting on her writing a turgid paper on fearless reporting, starting with her cosy email to ABC chief Mark Scott?<br />It came to light when some time back she published some emails supposedly to head off the Herald Sun.<br /> <br />Included was this little gem where she reported in to Scott:<br /> <br />"From Margaret Simons<br />To Mark Scott<br />Subject: Gerard Henderson<br />14 April 2008<br />Dear Mark,<br />Thought you should know about this. Gerard Henderson rang me last Friday to ask about our interview that led to the story published in Crikey about the complaints process review. He wanted to know whether I had rung you, or you me.<br />I told him that ABC PR had asked me if I would be interested in a story about the complaints process review, and that I had replied that I would. I told him that you had then rung me. I also emphasised that your comments about him were in reply to questions posed by me, rather than being volunteered by you.<br />I did not, of course, tell him anything about the off the record parts of our conversation.<br />I don’t know what he plans to do with all this, but I am sure it will be something. At the very least, I gather he plans to write to you.<br />Cheers<br />Margaret"<br /> <br />Director of Advanced Journalism?

I have grave fears about the Media Inquiry if this is the class of academic we have (along with certain others of course - at Uni of Technology Sydney for example. Never was a more appropriate description than the one Private Eye uses: "UTS - formerly known as Sydney Tech"). Simons is not the only worry, of course.<br /><br />Still, in the Media Inquiry hearings in Melbourne on Tuesday, they will hear from probable rent-seekers and I see that Mayne and Beecher are on the list, along with 2 hours set aside for Professor Manne. Could it be some Murdoch criticism is on the agenda?
