jackOK, I don't really mind, but looking at the front pages of a couple of papers... Something that happens to a celebrity isn't news! But we're used to that. But an anniversary of something that happened to a celebrity really isn't news!
"Diana continues dead", well I'm sorry for her, but this was hardly a surprise. It was one day short of the anniversary. Then it was the anniversary. I mean, anything else would practically be, not just a physical, but a logical impossibility.
EOR
OK, actually I don't agree with that at all, it was just a hyperbolic way of expressing my annoyance with some habits. In fact, many considerations of the way things are, rather than just what happened today, make an important part of news and do deserve front-page prominence they never get. After all, how often does world hunger make the news unless someone famous says something about it.
