Australian media's priorities

Given two Australians, Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran face the death penalty in Indonesia for drug trafficking I would have thought Foreign Minister Julie Bishop's response on dealing with the Indonesian Foreign Minister would be the most important item on the agenda for journalists.

Clearly journalists do not realise the seriousness of what we're dealing with here and would rather focus on more superficial crap than the human lives of Myuran Sukumaran and Andrew Chan.

Then there is the way the media is fawning over interviews with the Martin Place terrorism survivors.  Instead of focusing on the most important aspect - the risk the first escapees took, they've gone down their usual route of using sex and emotion to sell rather than the true seriousness of homegrown terrorism and immigration.
