| I feel very sorry for Lara Bingle, whose father has died at the young age of 55. But is her personal sadness really bigger news - as smh.com.au (right) would have us believe - than the loss of up to 5000 lives, many of them schoolchildren, here in China? |  |
The earthquake in China...
The earthquake in China... and not to mention 1.9 million people struggling to survive after the cyclone in Burma - still counting the death toll which could range from 63,290 to 101,682 with 220,000 people still reported missing.
But we shouldn't be comparing this to Lara's loss - that's so unfair. The media loves Lara, it's the media who at every opportunity splashes her across their newspaper or blog.
I guess we could say that Lara Bingle has pull...
You are so right. What
