1. Well, I guess...

Someone had to beat Fox to it.

Absolutely disgusting. Where is the "We'll think about morality so you don't have to!!" FCC when something truly offensive like this comes up?

God forbid we see a woman's nipple, but its ok to show someones life being extinguished.

2. disgusting voyeurism
what is wrong with the news media? I wonder how much money they spent on getting those pictures? just imagine what they could produce if they decided to focus on news stories that actually EFFECT our lives - like, oh I don't know, Saudi Arabia helping to fix the election - instead of alternating between being lap-dog to the repukes and indulging every sensationalist-voyeuristic urge that cross them.....

3. Ugh
the show will also delve into her extramarital affairs.

Why not just exhume her and slap her face? :puke:

5. Next Up: Slow Motion Footage Of People Falling From WTC
Maybe they're just saving that for the RNC Convention this summer.

6. She gets ratings. Even now.

So the whores will show it.

I might be enlightened, and disgusted by this, but I will have a hard time not watching. I felt the same way about the butler's 20/20 interview, and I found myself watching it anyway.

7. Media obsession with Diana was what led to her death in the first place
Is anyone surprised that there is now this morbid fascination about her death?

I feel terrible for her sons. :(

9. We get 48 hours and Diana dying, Canada gets Greg Palast and
hard hitting journalism at its' absolute best. Why are we here? Please, love, remind me why again? We in America get Diana dying, Canada gets Greg Palast. WHY> WHY> WHY THIS IS SHIT!

12. Seriously!
Is there a way those of us with Satelite could switch over to Canadian broadcasting instead of American? I'm serious. Only network news I usually watch is BBC.

11. I'm surprised they lasted this long without being revealed.
All I could ever find on the net was one iffy picture.
