Images of death

by hf148 @ 28.05.2007 - 14:09:40

Channel Four has announced that it will show images of Princess Diana in her last living moments in a new documentary. These images have not yet been shown by the British press, although they have been seen in other countries. Predictably, there has been an uproar, with cries of what about the Princes? What about her dignity? Let her rest in peace! Etc etc I am sure that none of these people made a fuss when Saddam’s hanging was shown, or when innocent Iraqi children are pictured dead or wounded, or when a grieving Palestinian grandmother has her tears and horror shown on the teatime news. If people don’t want death on their screens, then that censorship should apply to all.

I agree that we can't pick and choose, but I do disagree with showing any of this stuff on the telly.

I think we are being desensitised by all this stuff. We see the news, with all the horrors of the world, and then we see ... I dunno - some dramatised thriller book .. and it all looks the same.

I find, with the news, I have to actually say to myself "they are real people"

I thought her dignity went south when she married Charles, surely?
