OK guys I have only just read the headline of the thread about her being paid for a story and not all of the posts.
But enough is enough. It really is time to speak out. I am so sick of criminals being paid by the media. I am sick of the media. I am sick of celebrities who only act or sing for goodness sake getting richer and richer by selling stories and buying more and more houses, when people starve in somalia, and people live like rats in rio and in dumps in mozambique.
This has angered me. Ok she got let of a murder charge, but everyone agrees she was in involved in her disappearance due to her not reporting her missing for over a month. She should not be allowed to become rich from this. What type of message does that send out???
I think everyone should use any form of social networking they can to get the word out to boycottot any publication or tv show that pays her money. Use facebook, letters to editors, myspace, emails, word of mouth, local charities etc. If people were to turn off the channel and the ratings were low, they might learn. If people were to not buy any magazine or newspaper with her story and they lost money that day, or did not make the expected profit, they might learn.
If news of the world in britian can be shut down because it is considered a social pariah for crossing the line, I think the same should happen here.
We need to get common sense and goodness back into society.
If Libya and Egypt can/nearly bring down unjust governments by facebook, the media can be shown that this is not right and we dont want it!
I would be willing to do what I could here in Australia to get people to boycott, but the interest is not here as much as it is in the US.
