I fear that Jade Goody is being Dianafied!

Let me explain. The media ( or certain parts of it)seems to be pushing Jade's story onto us. The more coverage she receives, the more importance the story will appear to be. Last night, I caught the late night news bulletin on five. Guess what the lead story was??It wasn't the banking collapse,Gaza or Afghanistan.

Jade's illness is a tragedy for her and her family. You would have to be devoid of humanity you felt no sadness for this young woman and her two young sons. Her main aim is to ensure that her children are provided for after she has gone. What was touching has been her comments that her sons get the proper education that she never had.

What we should not do is make this into some media event that we should all share in.Let's remember who Jade is, she's a young woman who was created by reality TV and became rich and famous as a result. This fame is achieved without having any talent or education to speak of.
Jade is not Princess Diana or Mother Teresa. Hopefully the media will get the right sense of proportion regarding this story.Mind you, our media is so celebrity driven and so dumbed down , that nothing will surprise me.

Remember the news coverage of Paris Hilton's release from jail??
