Bingle & Clarke: Feeding the frenzy

Posted by: 2UE | 11 March, 2010 - 9:46 AM
Who's to blame for the media frenzy, and do you care?

Who feeds the frenzy over Lara Bingle and Michael Clarke? Why is it dominating the news? Steve Liebmann ponders why so much focus is being placed on the couple and asks, do YOU really care?


Blog comments Your Say

  • I couldn't have given a damn until I heard the reason Clarkie broke it off. I was pleasently surprised at Clarkes moral stance. Let's be nice and say the "poor girl" made a mistake... fine, everyone makes "mistakes" but then you have to resign yourself to living with the consequences. It's a tough lesson to learn but in the end all you will have is your integrity and she's shown she's clearly not interested in that. Good on Clarke for standing by his principles - it's very refreshing.

  • This poor girl made a mistake,we all have. But to have it blasted out on TV raido and newspapers for many years now, give the poor girl a break. Her second mistake was to embark on a contract with Mark Markson, who exploited her . She is far too young to endure all this. The culprits in all this are Brendan, and Mark!!!

  • Michael you stand by this girl she is putting everything on the line even the man she loves. I am proud of her for standing up to a thug like who a respectable AFL player who lied to a 19yr old, he should be thrown out of the game. Lara keep fighting... Make us females proud and if another male decides to take a picture with out any consent he will think twice.

  • I think it's about time the media, and more importantly the people of Australia stopped idolising these self obsessed personalities. I love cricket, but the private lives of cricketers are of no interest to me. I could not care less who is doing what to who. Wake up!

  • News Bulletins on Commercial TV Stations have become an extension of celebrity magazines, they have no substance and are all froth and bubble. The professional investigative journalism has diminished and we are now being dumbed down by superficial headlines grabs.
