Princess Diana and the paparazzi?

Question

Does anyone agree with me that the very same Princess Diana worshippers who so angrily denounced the photographers who they believed caused her death are the very people who created a market for those photographers by eagerly buying every magazine and newspaper that contained a picture of her? Is this total blatant hypocrisy or not?

Answer 1

Complete hypocrisy ... I never did understand the Diana obsession, either before or after her death.

She was a self obsessed and intellectually challenged woman who courted publicity and did 'good works' for the attention it brought her (read the transcripts of the 'squidgy' tapes if you doubt that!). But the paparazzi would not have been interested in her if it didn't sell magazines and newspapers ... bought by the very people who then claim outrage at the fact that she was 'hounded' - what wonderful irony.

Answer 2

Buying public cannot see nose on its own face.
Oddly enough, I do not recall any Arab Prince or Princess "hooking up" with a westerner infadel and living long to prosper. Fool around a bit..sure...but no long term day-in-day-out committments. And I recall vividly,"Death of a Princess".

Answer 3

I totally agree with you. Those Di-worshippers were the winds that fanned the flames of her untimely death. They can't see it, though. This is hypocrisy at its worse.
