nurse in royal pregnancy hoax call found dead.

[vertigonights]

What about the role the media itself played in this. Kate has been in hospital a few hours and their hauled up immediatly outside it with a line of photographers and reporters eager for the sound of a fart to comment on. Isn't her condition suppossed to be private from the beginning or do we have a right to know the ins and outs of her medical history? If this had of stayed private like it should have; would anything of happened in relation to the nurse taking her own life? She isn't even 12 weeks pregnant, and who knows what could of happened to her or the child with probable undue stress from the media at her window.
Im not a particular fan of the royals, but i don't think blaming a couple of djs is fair. I mean they have a job to do, and we all laughed when we heard the stunt to begin, with so why the change of heart all of a sudden? Their actions would never have been followed through with had they known the terrible outcome, its just one of those things. Also more facts need to come out about the nurse herself and if she wasn't reprimanded then why the reaction? before any more conclusions are jumped to.

This is a tough one.

On one hand it's only a prank and I'd say there are plenty who would be prepared to make a fortune out of being the one who fell for it.

On the other hand we don't know the woman's state of mind or confidence fragility.

Seems like bad luck.

I never blame the media in instances like these. If the public weren't interested they wouldn't do it. It's us as a generation.

That's naive in many ways. The public have a varied appetite of course however it's the media that dictate what's being served up. The media contrive angles on simple stories  to differentiate their product, in many ways the angle becomes more important than the story.

We dictate by what we buy. The media only respond to what makes them the bucks. I heard people saying during the week that they were sick of hearing about the girl Kate but then on to detail minute by minute the programmes they watched on it. Of all the newspapers out there, the Sun is still the biggest seller. The media aren't stupid.

I am suprised the Sun sells in nationalist areas of the North or anywhere in the Republic after all the years of their hatefilled bigotry towards us. Here in Liverpool many shops won't sell it, people will castigate you if they see you with a copy. There are signs up saying not to buy the Sun, pity the Irish wouldn't show the same level of self-respect.

How anyone buys the Sun I can never understand, they hate the Irish, Scousers, the French, the Germans, the North of England, the Scottish, the Spanish, the European Union, left-wingers, Africans, Asians, the European Union, the Greeks, Irish Republicans, British Republicans, Homosexuals, Catholics, Celtic-Country Nationalists, Muslims, Palestinians, Arabs etc. however they also seem to pick on the groups that they usually fawn over like the British Royal family, EDL, BNP, OO, Americans, Israelis, British Army, Church of England, the British Upperclass when they think it will sell the odd paper. Why the f**k anyone buys it is always a mystery to me, they are a hate filled rag.

Meh I think that arguments bullshit, I mean, could the founder of a child pornography site stand up and court and say he was just catering for a demand from sections of the general public?

"Im not a particular fan of the royals"
Part time fan?  occasional fan? enough to call her Kate and be concerned over her personal affairs?

These Nordies need more support in any thread discussion which concerns, directly or indirectly, members of their Royal family.

You can't equate supply and demand of something illegal with something legal. Thousands die every year from cigarettes and alcohol but the demand is there so someone will keep up the supply. It isnt just shit like The Sun - Heat, Hello etc. consist entirely of salacious gossip or celebrities whoring their wares. They sell by the millions so they have to go to more extreme lengths to achieve a market share.

If the two DJs did anything wrong then comedy would be banned and the likes of Dom Jolly, phone jacker team etc would be in jail.  As tragic as this story is we dont need everyone adopting the attitude of free presbyterians.

I'd agree with all that. Morality doesn't enter the picture.
I think there is an obvious parallel where politics are concerned. Most of us will bitch on and on about crooked politicians and damn them all to hell at every chance we get but still we elect them all the same.
I think them hoors merely reflect the nature of the society that elects them.
