I think she was wrong. We also don't eat doors and windows! More seriously though:
(i) Shouldn't the newspaper also carry part of the responsibility for deciding on such a click-baitish headline, without verifying the facts and just accepting what they were told? (ii) From a newspaper point of view, isn't it a great headline which not only makes us look at some small newspaper in a remote part of the globe? Not only that, it also made me Google to find out what Te Upoko o Te Ika refers to...! (iii) Due to the general crisis in the ad-dependent newspaper revenue model, and its consequences, I'm not sure how many trust the way large parts of the media function these days. The newspaper in question has a circulation of circa 30,000.
