Regarding the Diana photos.. |
|
I was just watching the news here in NZ, and they showed a segment from CBS (I believe) discussing the British outrage at the showing of photos of Diana dying in the wreckage of the car.
Some smarmy bitch was doing the report, and she showed "on the street" interviews with Brits and their reaction. Each person was pissed off that CBS had shown the pictures, but straight after the interviews, this bitch comes on and says "but privately" most Brits were dying to see the pictures themselves (without providing any evidence of this claim).
She then went on to say that the Royals were worried that when the British press finished "being sanctimonious" that they would focus once again on the Royal role in the accident.
It was a totally disgusting segment, in that she straight up accused the British of being just as crass as the US for wanting to see these photos and were being hypocritical.
Well, Ms Smarmy Bitch, tell us, if showing pictures of Diana actually dying in the wreckage is "journalistically valid" why the hell is CBS not showing pictures of US soldiers dying in Iraq? Why is CBS not even showing pictures of their coffins returning to the US?
Is that not "journalistically valid", or are you and CBS just hypocritical arseholes? Fuck you CBS, and fuck you, whoever that dumb bitch was on that story!

I was tired of St Princess when she was alive, and I'm really sick of her now that she's dead.

5. I say leave it all alone. Who cares to see her dead. |
|
I found her silly alive. But this is silly of people to want to see this.What is it about the dead? We can show dead ex-royals, sons of well known rulers and can not show dead children of war or coffins that have flags on them. We are all nuts.

Just as a word of support, you have rightly assessed that the great British public are in my experience pretty sick and tired of the whole affair. No I don't want to see the pictures. Keep them yourself CBS and I will quite happily give you the jar of Vaseline to help you stick them up your own arse.

3. With everything going on in the world - doesn't CBS have better things |
|
to cover? What prompted CBS to air this story? I mean, usually they save the Diana stuff for August. Here we are in a war, discussing more troops, possibility of a draft, major inconsistencies in the official story of intelligence prior to 9/11, etc. No wonder the American people are so uninformed!
