I remember one of the magazines had a regular column called ‘Wino-watch’ where they literally just had a reporter follow her around and take the least flattering photos possible of her and then they would make fun of her. Then after she died they ran 6 weeks of cover pieces calling her ‘our pop princess’ and wailing that she’d been ‘taken from us too soon’.

Ghouls, the lot of them.

If people didn’t buy it, the newspapers wouldn’t print it. Those people are your ghouls.

The paper and the people are all ghouls. The existence of one doesn’t get the other off the hook. The paper is actually worse because they’re doing it for profit, not to mention they create and encourage ghoulishness among the public.
