In response to "IM: except maybe brisbane. -- nm" by mafic

The kid is obviously a total hero, but the way the news has latched onto that picture is gross.

Responses:

I'm kind of constantly offended by the news here. they're all too tied up with the current affair/today tonight sensationalism. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 16:28 7
- I can see that. The news here is just as parochial and boring but there's no post-news "the household product that might kill your children" show - Roger More Jan 13, 16:41 2
  - Frontline is great! (Though it's weird to see Rob Sitch with all that hair.) nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:47
  - yeah, the standard news is no worse than anywhere, except for the constant shilling of the scandal show that's up next. -- nm - mafic Jan 13, 16:46
- It also just makes you realize what a small (population-wise) country it is. Local news is effectively national news. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:30 3

    - So you admit that I was right. (nm) - musubi Jan 13, 16:54
    - This is what I've been sayin!! (I've just started reading Best Served Cold and now feel the need to go reread the First Law series.) nm - ralph wiggum Jan 13, 16:49
