So compared to the story on page 3, "Businessman found dead in Unit" stabbed to death in Perth, but afforded less than half the space allocated to the Bali robbery is a fair reflection??.
The story also takes up more space than the article on the opposite page "Freak storm rips through historic Weatbelt town"
10 homes totally destroyed and "tens of millions damage", but a robbery in Bali gets twice the coverage!!
I am not sure how or why I would want to "shift the blame from the perpertators" of the Bali robbery to anyone else.
I sincerely hope they get caught.
Of course the article is of relevence to all Perth based Bali fans, but it is equally disturbing and conveying very negative sentiments to those who are not such dyed in the wool fans.
Report it by all means, but maintain some balance in the way in which a media outlet prioritises articles.
I stand by my original thoughts that at the moment, the media have something of a knife out for Bali....for whatever reason.
