Poor Paula Wriedt is obviously having a difficult time at the moment. It’s hard enough to endure such times without media interest, so it must be even tougher with the media lurking about. Imagine how hard it must be when the reason for much of that media interest has come from the fact that you were the subject of one of Sam Newman’s comments. Newman just has to open up his ugly juvenile gob and he gets press in Victoria.  While some of the attention is negative, there’s often a ”Sam’s just a good ol’ boy with a sense of humour” thing not far from the surface.

Here’s some of the headlines from a couple of mainstream news sites about Ms Wreidt’s plight:
