The priorities of commercial media here never cease to amaze me.
The lead story on all channels yesterday was about a public spat between the sister and friend of an Australian girl currently serving 20 years in a Bali jail for drug smuggling.
Briefly mentioned later: North Korea has agreed to dismantle its nuclear weapons programme. Nowhere near as newsworthy as two silly women having an argument.

*despair*

This is why I refuse to watch the news anymore...sensationalism at it's very worst!

The teenagers had control of the remote, unfortunately.
