Look, love him or hate him Piers Morgan is highly successful and thats because millions of people tune in to hear him every morning.SiMamu wrote:But what drives a person to suicide? It's easy just to say that they're mentally ill, but what led them towards becoming such? Flack has been hounded by the press for almost a decade now, dating right back to when she was going out with a 10 years junior Harry Styles. Throughout that, however, she still had her career and a future. The recent 'cancelling' she has faced at the hands of the press - completely mercilessly, as though repentance and forgiveness were completely out of the question - has left her reputation completely in tatters and her feeling as though she has no future. Why have they hounded her so much? Money and power. They want clicks and they want the power to control opinions, and people's lives; like being able to ruin someone's, as they have done. It does not matter whether someone is famous or earning 1.2m a year. They are still human. It is easy for you to say that you would be fine with such hounding when earning such, when it is entirely hypothetical. In the case of both the media, and partly yourself, it is easy to forget that others are humans with feelings when money is involved.blackpool white wrote:rigger, look mate.
I never once mentioned suicide, nor even caroline flack.
All I said was I would not complain about being hounded by the press if i were a celebrity earning over a million.
That is not insensitive, its just my opinion, which I am sure is shared by many others. Isn't a forum the place to express one's views?
You mentioned how Meghan Markle has removed herself from the public eye, but has that stopped her from being under the media microscope? Has that stopped verminous internet trolls like Piers Morgan from writing about her?
And that is the crux of the matter.....if the public refused to buy the newspapers that these journalists sell to then the whole career of paparazzi would die.
Do not criticise prostitutes, if men choose not to buy sex then prostitution would stop in a heartbeat.....just the same for the media....if everyone stopped watching piers show, he would be out on his backside
