Correct. It is offensive to some, and no, you aren't wrong.

It was the same on TV, Sunday evening on UK terrestrial TV, there were 3 out of 5 channels showing programmes dedicated to 11/09/01.

It's another example of the media picking on one 'story' and doing it to death. The UK media has been guilty of this a lot this year. Take the 2 girls who vanished recently, and were later found dead. In the interval between their disappearance and their discovery, the media did not let up one single day, not one single hour it seemed. Yet how many other children have vanished from their homes never to be seen again? How many others have been abused, beaten and killed this year?

We have a case now, of a 2 yr old who was tortured, abused and starved in this area of East London, discovered dying last January. Where was her media cover? Where are the multi thousand pound rewards for the capture of her killers? The killers were there all the time, because they were her parents. I haven't seen any front page screamers about her case, except for the local paper.

I sometimes wonder if the fact that she was black and from a fairly deprived area as opposed to being white and from a middle class, middle England village has anything to do with it.
