Some irony could be seen in such a piece appearing in a tabloid newspaper, where the stock in trade is often the sensationalisation of human tragedy and misery to sell newspapers. I am led to believe at least one newspaper in the UK (not sure if it was one of rupert's) published graphic photos of the incident, whereas dorna pulled the video footage, and many of us who saw it made sure they didn't see it again, and many who didn't endeavoured not to see it afterwards.



The response to the marquez crash at PI is perhaps also illustrative, as despite his popularity he was almost universally condemned. I am also unaware of crashes ever in any way being used to promote motogp.



Yours and kropotkin's point about laziness is well made, particularly as journalists yourselves. I am not very familiar with Jill Singer , but the main opinion piece writers (or polemicists as some might regard them) for her newspaper group seem to consider anything as mundane and tedious as researching a piece to be beneath them, apparently redundant for those already in possession of absolute truth as they consider themselves to be, demonstrated in a recent court case in australia; one of these guys seemed to consider googling the names of a group of people he had prejudged on the basis of their appearance (in this case skin colour) as an adequate basis for defaming them.
