*** has stated that perhaps we are harsh on one section of society and more protective to-wards another.
I have given that statement a lot of thought and hand on heart..............
Guilty as charged
I have regularly expressed my contempt for certain sections of the media. I have said it time and time again and will probably carry on voicing my personal opinion regarding these folks who I sometimes call vultures, parasites, writers of fiction, or whatever description I feel fits the story.
How many times do we see a grieving husband\wife having queue's of these vultures all waiting to ram a microphone into the grieving person's face to get a quote? How many times do we see photographers taking pictures of angry crowds (which they may well have incited) I have had years of experience in dealing with these people and I have perhaps been influenced by this.
Being very serious for a moment, when Princess Diana was dying the last things she would have witnessed were the worse of the worse of these parasites, or vultures. She died with the flash of camera's in her eyes and sadly that sums up the headline grabbing attitude of the front end of our media.
Barry George
The media were not slow in condemning this person at the time of arrest. During the trial they were pushing the limits of what they could print and condemning this person.
The story changed and all of a sudden the police arrested the wrong man. All of a sudden George was a completely innocent victim and the perfect example of police incompetence.
All of a sudden the media all wanted to interview this innocent person and condemn the system that convicted this poor victimised person.
Kay Burley couldn't interview George quick enough and wanted to know what it was like being innocent and locked up for something you never did?
She is now being allegedly
stalked by this person and is terrified!!! Why?? Why is she terrified of a harmless person that Kay Burley has helped make this man a star and it could be suggested George is simply infatuated by her. Instead she is terrified, fainted in front of the camera and has taken time off work because of the situation.
The man is allegedly innocent, Kay Burley has told the World he is innocent so why the worry? What will the media make of this? Will they be saying Ms Burley is making a mountain out of a mole-hill? Will the media start hounding Barry George?
Will the media step back and not get involved?
End of confession
