The media cashing in on the tragedy of Diana's death
I find it despicable that an American TV station has seen fit to show pictures of Princess Diana dying in the car crash wreckage in Paris, 1997.
I doubt that these pictures, taken in 1997, will shed new light on the details of the accident or qualify as news in any way. They don't inform the public at all. In my opinion it's a case of the media cashing in on the tragedy.
This is an example of why journalists (and the media) are so reviled by the general public, but who is to blame? -- the media, for feeding the public what amounts to scenes of 'celebrity snuff', or the public for having an appetite for it?
