Well I’m delighted that my cynicism has struck a chord with so many on here.
The underlying point is that when you read some of these Media stories, at first glance you are invited to experience a sense of ‘outrage’ along the lines of “how stupid can they be” or “how unfair” and so on.
However, a huge number of these ‘stories’ are written with exactly this purpose in mind. They present a heavily slanted or one-sided version of events specifically intended to provoke the reader, rather than to expose the ‘truth’.
If you apply a modicum of common sense to the situation described to you – ask “What would I do in a similar situation” or “Why did they pick on this person apparently ‘out of the blue’ or is there more behind it than meets the eye” …. chances are that you will get somewhere near the ‘truth’.

Cas does have a good point though jen_jen. It never fails to surprise me how, when somebody or other snuffs it, everybody seems to want to post “RIP” messages.
In their haste to pour out their hearts with these tear-stained messages of ersatz grief, they do (metaphorically at least) trip over damp tissues.
Whilst all are grieving and crying their eyes out for somebody they barely knew and in most cases have never met, it never hurts to sometimes tell how the person really was, rather than the rose tinted PR image of how they would like to have been seen.
=D> Well said , and now i will no doubt, get blasted for what i am going to say … but as for everyone having opinions , yes, thats true … unfortunately , there are some here that have to ram theirs home incessantly.. and then when still they are not agreed with , result to insults … which , considering this is an adult forum i find unbelievable .
all ways remember annette no one wants your opinion it too dull
Thin, learn english please, ‘always’ not ‘all ways’. Also ‘it’s’ not ‘it’ what a shame he is so ill educated!
