Media to be blamed for Di’s untimely demise
Dear Sir, The untimely and tragic death of Princess Diana and her companion in Paris is the outcome of the disgustingly voyeuristic preoccupation of the media and the media moguls with her private life.
The media in general and the photo-jour nalists of Paris in particular have success fully hounded a simple, gentle soul to her tortuous demise. I hope those who have been purveyors of the constant barrage of details of her life by prying into her priva cy and those who greedily enthralled themselves in the cheap gossip that per meated the media about her, will have leamt a lesson from this tragedy.
The scum-bag of a photo-journalist who took photos of the dying Princess entrapped in the mangled wreck manifest the worst qualities of Western journalism and moral indigence of our modem civili sation.
