Why was real croc hunters death ignored?
A few days ago, the Review-Journal — along with a lot of other metropolitan dailies — gave prominent coverage to the death of Steve Irwin, the popular Australian zookeeper who charmed international audiences with his enthusiastic animal-chasing on the Discovery Network’s Animal Planet channel. Irwin, widely known as “the Crocodile Hunter,” was killed Monday by a stingray that rose and stabbed him in the chest with its spine while the 44-year-old was at work filming a television segment, swimming at Australia’s Great Barrier Reef.
