Maybe I’m just becoming to cynical, but lets see, 33 people are killed in a Massacre in the US, the Sydney Morning Herald leads with a story that someone from Sydney was studying at this University, who knew someone who wasn’t shot but saw other people shot and pretended to be dead.
Seriously.
I can’t make this stuff up.
To quote from the first paragraph:
A young Sydney woman studying at the US college where a shooting rampage left 33 dead has told how one of her best friends pretended to be dead as bleeding classmates fell on top of him.
Apparently the 33 people who were shot don’t really matter, because they either 1. aren’t Australian or 2. don’t know anyone from Australia.
It gets worse. In two whole pages of content, the lead story I might add, the SMH goes into how the girl received an email that there was a gunman, and how she’d contacted her family in Sydney to let them know she was ok. Again, 33 people killed and the SMH is more interested in the a girl from Sydney and the emails she sent.
Quality Australian journalism at its best.
