To Bill,
How unfortunate that Princess Di's words against
the press so recently published would come to
haunt her in this new tragedy. Once again,
listening to different tabloid publishers talking on
CNN about how $200,000 was paid for a series
of photographs of Di and Dodi on vacation, it is
clear that we have lost all sanity. While the
Princess may be of interest to people, how much
further do we allow these bloodthirsty, greedy
tabloid moguls and
their minions to go? Of course, as far as I'm
concerned, Buckingham Palace is as much to
blame as anyone. Because of the desire for an
heir to the throne, Prince Philip forced his son to
find a wife. Charles chose Diana because Camilla
was taken. It was a mismatch from the start and
the family knew it. Shame on the royal family
whose withered fingers grasp at a time no longer
within the realm of reality. Prince Philip, Prince
Charles,
hopefully neither of you will sleep to
comfortably anymore.
While it's vital to protect the Freedom of the
Press, it's time to curtail this reckless pursuit of
celebrities and victims of crimes. Newspapers can
still write whatever they want, TV news can still
broadcast pictures along with their reports, but
EVERYBODY needs to be protected from this
kind of dangerous intrusion in our lives. This kind
of press behavior should be banned.
HARLEY.
PS.I Just heard on CNBC that the driver of the limo had major amounts of ALCOHOL in his body.I guess the media was a small part of the horrible accident that killed Princess Diana.It's very,very sad. |
