DAVID KOCH AND SUNRISE PRODUCERS ENGAGED IN A RIVAL MEDIA WITCHHUNT AGAINST YUMI STYNES

The entire concept of this website needs a raincheck i feel, to be honest it is not getting nearly as many readers as it should be and like always as it has been from the beginning i just dont get people making hardly any comments on here. It's been that way on my No. 1 website Badrick Unadulterated for a couple of years now as well. In place of the structured and story based music and film blogs which have characterised my style of writing on Lost Treasures, i am going to be making more of a habit of writing short random comments in place of that. I like writing articles on this website but i dont like wasting my time, take that as a hint about making comments and making LT as interactive as you possibly can. Talking of random comments, there was such a commotion in the australian media in the past week about the tongue in cheek albeit misguided comments made by The Circle host Yumi Stynes on the Ten Network, along with what guest host George Negus was reported to have said about Victoria Cross recipient Ben Roberts-Smith. I happened to be watching The Circle the day after this took place, i witnessed Stynes' apology on-air, as far as i am concerned she made a sincere apology, acknowledged she has received some angry emails for what she and George Negus said to Roberts-Smith in the heat of the moment as well as also acknowledging she might have offended some viewers who chose not to email her or contact the TV station to complain. In the meantime, Roberts-Smith has accepted Yumi's apology without question. Why then did the compulsively tabloid gossip peddling host of Channel 7's Sunrise, David Koch, feel it neccesary to line up a panel of three female media identities three days after the event to have another go at taking Yumi Stynes down for stuffing up a bit just once on The Circle. This war hero had gotten over it two days before this, accepted the apology in good faith, yet Koch and the producers of Sunrise saw fit to rattle a cage which clearly didn't need to be. The vigilante response from the rival media was a lot worse than Roberts-Smith having the piss taken out of him a bit about his level of intelligence and sexual prowess. David Koch's shit stinks just as much.
