Being a photo-journalist for over forty years I hung my head in shame watching the visual vomit that was on Channel 7 last night. They have always had a lot of class but alas when it comes to covering convicted drug smugglers – its now all low
Agree with Horace. This outrageous coverage by both 7 and 9 of a convicted drug smuggler playing stupid games with cars going everywhere, people wearing masks and where is she now? . The reference to William Tyrell on a handbag is just disgraceful, enough is enough from a crook. If 1 of them does an exclusive interview at any stage in the foreseeable future I hope the police step in and take the $ as she is taking money having being convicted of a serious crime. I think what Stefanovic said this morning on Today was right – basically who cares there are more stories that should be covered than the rubbish dealt up on the weekend
