Although truth be told I had actually just closed the tab with the Echo (News, sport & lifestyle from Sunderland, Durham & the North East) twitter feed.
note: I do not lay me down to sleep in Sunderland, it's just that I crack up thinking of pocket-sized Hearst - Pulitzer circulation wars over Chinese journos in Mariupol.
We've got some good 'ol Le Théâtre de l'Absurde ridiculousness going on here.
