One of the most trashy “news websites” I’ve ever seen is Australian… but I don’t make a point of examining all possible contenders for this title.
Click
here to see their page announced as
“Australian scientists discover new element”. The title of the article tones things down a little:
“Australian scientists help discover new element…” But the opening paragraph reverts to the notion of an all-Australian discovery:
“Australian scientists have discovered a new element”.
The truth of the matter (which obviously matters little to the “journalists” who create this bullshit website) is that this fascinating discovery was made by a German laboratory: the
GSI Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research at Darmstadt… with assistance, of course, from scientists throughout the world, including (most probably) some in Canberra.
