Not the best of waking up in the morning. the jaw hitting the floor in slow motion. The article<\/strong> <\/a>read, before drinking the first cup of Kaapi <\/em>only to realise that the alarm was raised over next to nothing.<\/p>\n

Is this good reporting – i don’t know. The only thing i know is that two army units had a practise session on the day when the COAS went to court.Do they normally play ‘soldier soldier’ – I hope so. Are they suppose to ? – well, we have\u00a0rehearsals\u00a0before a shoot, so i presume that any large unit attempting something complex would have\u00a0rehearsals. Are they supposed to inform others, presumably yes -so that people and units don’t trip over each other …. does all this \u00a0warrant front page with a headline that scares the sleep out of your eyes – I don’t know.<\/p>\n

Maybe the good editor of IE would like to check out the story of the boy who cried wolf … or maybe their calendars have all been hacked and their internal system clock tells them it is April 1st. Maybe it is\u00a0curiosity\u00a0that has gone awry ….and maybe they thought that scoop is spelt as s’coup. or maybe the way they thought they will get some visiblity in the social and main stream media is to become the story themselves.<\/p>\n

And finally,\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surprisingly, First Post that is known to play fast and loose with stories – went to the defence of IE. It had an inexplicable space filler called\u00a0Moral of Army \u2018coup\u2019 outrage: Twitter is for twits<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0, little understanding two things<\/p>\n
