Herald Sun journalist Mark Robinson has slammed Channel Nine, labeling the team hypocrites for their handling of the Garry Lyon, Billy Brownless falling out.
Robinson broke the story for the Herald Sun that Brownless and Lyon were involved in a bitter feud due to Lyon's relationship with Brownless' ex-wife.
“It’s a real funny thing with Garry, Channel Nine and Triple M where they work,” Robinson said on SEN radio.
“People are saying we’re going to be dancing on this terrible story – there is no greater group in Melbourne, if not Australia media than the Channel 9 and Triple M group who dance on the misfortune of so many people and make jokes about it.
“You know Ben Cousins was suicidal, Wayne Carey was said to be suicidal, Ricky Nixon was said to be suicidal but meanwhile the Triple M and Channel 9 boys make skits about other people’s misfortunes.
“Now, one of their own, the big daddy of them, it’s ‘everyone don’t say anything!’
"I don’t want to go to that level but I like consistency.
“I find it very difficult, very difficult talking about mental health issues, I really do.
“So in this situation I try to keep it separate.
“Do I feel for Garry, of course I do, but I also feel for Bill and Mel.”
spot on! Where’s caro Wilson & purple now..Wrong!..we luv ya billie
