The ABC 7:00pm news reported this story about a bombing in the Indian city of Pune at number two – ahead of news of two Australian casualties in fighting in Afghanistan.
You have to wonder whether the story would have received such prominence if the bombing hadn’t involved the possible (i.e. not confirmed) death of a foreigner. More to the point, you have to wonder whether the story would have got a run at all if the Australian press weren’t pissed at the reporting in India of racist attacks against Indians in Melbourne
