Spectator runs out of culture war, starts arguing with itself

The Spectator Australia publishes a column opposing surrogacy for single men, one of several reactionary offerings filed the same week.

The Spectator's latest dispatch from the culture war trenches — a column against single men and surrogacy dressed up as moral philosophy, filed between a piece defending Michael Jackson and another explaining why flats beat houses. The magazine's editorial compass now spins so freely it's become a fidget toy. You can tell a publication's run out of ideas when the headlines start arguing with each other across the same masthead.
