Plain Talker Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I was thinking Nigella Lawson was certainly a PR beneficiary of Mandela's demise. ah, yes, the old "good day to bury bad news" scenario! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagel Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 ah, yes, the old "good day to bury bad news" scenario! lol I don't understand this, I thought Nigella was defending herself from her husband's allegations and wouldn't want her side of the story drowned out. When is Ariel Sharon going to die? He's been technically dead for 8 years, but on a life support machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shand1 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 What i want to know is, what do all those people in the new BBC news studio actually do ? There seems to be hundreds of people "working" there, but they seem to be fixated on only 2 or 3 high profile stories ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phanerothyme Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I knew there would be a media frenzy the minute he died. So I gave the news a miss until things settled down. It worked for me. Even the radio was awash with it, so I gave that a miss also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I think so, it wasn't exactly a surprise was it? I feel quite bad that I was like...I was getting fed up of the fact he kept appearing in the news almost dead. Like every other day Mandela would be on BBC with people saying he was on his last legs, after a while it becomes, for want of a better word...boring.

janie48 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I didn't mind the coverage. There were some very good documentaries on that I'm sure would have been watched with great interest by many. The news about Nelson Mandela will have been reported extensively though out the world, and will be in the forthcoming days until after the funeral. We never get to hear everything that's happening worldwide anyway. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMR67 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 When a world icon dies, all other news is put on the back burner. Remember when Diana Princess of wales was tragically killed in Paris, it was everywhere. However, how many people remember that Mother Theresa also died on the same day. Who rembers that media coverage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
