There is a difference in circumstance but when it comes down to it, both events had loss of life.

My point is; why is it alright to constantly report about 9/11 (why haven't people "moved on"?), yet Diana's time is up?
I don't think 9/11's constantly reported?


For one thing, there's a 4 year gap between the two events, 9/11 is more current, and therefore less stale. Everything I've read about Diana the past few days is rehashed from previous articles.

In short, I've seen it all before, and it's boring.

That's why I feel Diana's "time is up" from the media. I wouldn't mind at all if her death was noted every ten years from now, in fact I'd probably be quite interested to re-read things I'd forgotten, but we read small articles, big articles, all sorts about her, just as we were starting to forget about her.
