August is traditionally the silly season for news. The editors are away, the politicians are (usually) away, titans of business are away, nothing much goes on. But the newspapers (and other news outlets) need something to report. So the editors issue commands to the hordes of reporters at their beck and call: “Find some news and report it!”
Mondegreens are a subject that’s as old as the hills. But Auntie Beeb seems to think they were just invented yesterday.
hhha.. “Find some news and report it!” that’s something i see, but did not realise it happening 😉
