There has been much in the papers this morning about Jade Goody.
Whatever you may feel about her past activities you have to feel dreadfully sorry for her and and family.
I hope that she can find some comfort in her remaining time on this earth.
However the case once again shows the hypocrisy of some of our papers.
As this blog shows,the Sun must surely be reminded of some of its past pronouncements on Miss Goody.This piece from January 2007 for example after the end of celeb big brother(Ht-Martin Belam)
SANITY has prevailed. Thank Heaven for that. Jade Goody went into the Big Brother house appearing to be simply a fun-loving working-class girl canny enough to have made millions from her 15 minutes of fame. It was all a meticulously manufactured lie. She has left the house with her true personality laid bare: A vile, pig-ignorant, racist bully consumed by envy of a woman of superior intelligence, beauty and class. Incredible as it may seem, last night’s vote was the most important in Britain since the last General Election. OK, it’s just a reality TV show. But it became a referendum on whether our nation, with the eyes of the world on us, was prepared to back a home-grown yob over a dignified Indian actress. We weren’t and the result has restored faith in the British public. Hopefully Jade will now slither back under the rock from where she crawled before her debut on Big Brother in 2002. As for her two spineless, sniggering sidekicks ... let’s hope they join her.
As the title of the blog suggests this is the Diana effect all over again.One vilified in the press,tragedy seems to simply wash away the past.
