As I said to Calvin above, it's the hypocrisy that sickens me, not just on the part of the press but also the public, who lap up rubbish and then complain when the taste turns sour.

The phone call was no more than a relatively harmless prank. Anyone who committed suicide over such a minor failing must have had other problems and issues that we don't know about. After all, this nurse only transferred the call, she didn't herself give out any information - not that the information divulged was of much, if any, consequence. If any real blame is to be attached to anyone, or anything, then it is with the silly obsession of the media in general, and some of the people, with the royals. ekalderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674221986390930109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-922458495490105812012-12-10T18:32:55.758-08:002012-12-10T18:32:55.758-08:00In the end, there is candid camera, and then there...In the end, there is candid camera, and then there is radio pranks. For tv's candid camera, sure, they pulled pranks but EVERYONE that appeared on camera had to sign a waver to be there. Radio hosts are prone to call ANYONE for a gag, and not ask permission. Sure, most of the time, its recorded, but they never call back and get permission to use the person's voice.<br /><br />Fact is, there are a good proportion of radio show hosts that are borderline out of control, I could list a few here, but I won't, and because those few are out of control, any time anyone else steps out of line, they will be singled out and pointed to as part of the 'problem.' Its truly a shame what someone will do for ratings, and truly a shame that unfortunate tragedies happen, but until people stop listening to the garbage part of radio, then the good radio hosts, every now and then, will make a mistake and get crucified for it.DanBonserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11557369452959586375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-37298706612436561492012-12-10T17:35:42.561-08:002012-12-10T17:35:42.561-08:00There seems to be no group more venomous in spite ...There seems to be no group more venomous in spite than the media. How much effect would racial or sexual invective have without the amplification of 'outrage' when incidents are reported by self-righteous hacks in the tabloids or on TV? Mass media feeds on anger, disgust, conflict, pain - but they pretend they have no role beyond being a mere conduit or a mirror to show us our imperfections. But do they ever show us any other aspect of ourselves? No wonder we rage like Caliban, with such an imperfect mirror.<br /><br />How many calls from reporters, I wonder, did Jacinth S. have to endure after the initial spoof? Whether or not her death was truly connected to the Aussie jesters, I'm sure there was plenty of blame to attribute to the baying mob of Britain's own media.Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10640148105202971907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4413130168723738166.post-88094174802669590252012-12-10T16:45:36.905-08:002012-12-10T16:45:36.905-08:00The reason sporting events and film and music are ...The reason sporting events and film and music are popularized is to keep the mob distracted as the games of ancient Rome.
