So all the media who were first made aware or shown the now infamous Monaghan photograph decided it was NOT in the public interest to publish news of its existence. Even when it appeared on Twitter the rest of us were safely oblivious to it.
All the media except one that is.
According to News.com.au Melbourne radion station SEN was the first to release news of the existence of the image to the wider public and name it is an NRL player.

which was posted on the social network site Twitter before Melbourne radio station SEN named the Raider yesterday morning.
If it wasn't a NRL player the community would never been made aware of it.
But what was the last big NRL story that SEN broke? Any?
So thanks to SEN the entire community and much of the world has now had the "pleasure" of, if not seeing, at least being forced to imagine, an image that will forever pollute our minds.
For once "But think of the kiddies?" was an appropriate question.
Why would SEN do that when the rest of the Australian media chose not to?
Irene, it is obvious, the run on double standards. If it was an AFL player, it would never have seen the light of day.
