That's the difference of the inviduals though. Jade wants to sell her wedding snaps for her kids, she's said that. She doesn't control wether it goes on American news or Italian news. She's doing the best for her kids and their future. Just because Wendy Richards chooses not to be all over the papers and news shows it doesn't mean people don't have the same respect for her, or think that she is brave.

I find your whole point stupid if I'm honest, you said;
"I also support any selling to the media she does"

Then you said;
"I don't like how shes getting so much news coverage with the disguise that its to show of a 20% increase in smear tests."

You have no point.

I do have a point.

I support the selling she does to the media, magazine deals, TV shows etc where she will get money. I don't support the news reporting as though she is worlds first and last ever cancer victim, portraying her as a saint when they hated her 2 years ago. For this, she is getting no money and her every move is being rammed down our throats and for what? Just to put things into perspective, on Sunday there were 2 seperate explosions and people died. On ITV News, Jade's wedding was the opening headline and had a good 3-4 minute feature, and those explosions were mentioned "in other news" where 4 or 5 stories are mentioned within a minute. Sky News also lead all day Sunday with the news of Jade, when there was a scrolly thing on the bottom of breaking news, that a man had been shot in London and a murder investigation was open which got a brief mention every now and again but Jade had full on extensive features again and again. Why does she warrant more air time on the news, for things that isn't really news, over actual news?

The smear test increase is just a side story to justify having it on the news. We're told that every single time Jade's story makes an appearance, we're told the exact same thing we've already been told time and time again before, and because we already know it imo it isn't news.
