Media observers in shock … story gets attention it deserves

So this guy got into a kayak to paddle to New Zealand. The experts told him it was dumb and not to do it, cos he might die. But he went anyway and he died.

So far, the media have resisted the temptation to deify the bloke as this month’s Steve Irwin, and they haven’t run a ‘THIS FOOL COST OUR BRAVE RESCUE SERVICES $2,322,874‘ story filled with shrill indignation.

Can the media possibly be growing up? Naaahh … must be another explanation.
