With the tragic suicide of Miss Flack in mind

Is it about time the people responsible for making this woman feel like death was the best option

We are so quick to pick on vulnerable people

Then when something like this happens

The media will be all “ tragic loss “

But they are to blame

Manslaughter/ murder ?

The media are very good at instigating ill feelings/outrage & often hate towards 1 person or group of people. It can be even worse when the people targeted already have some kind of fame.

I'd say they are a big factor in things

The media can be a double-edged sword. If it wasn't for the media, people wouldn't be built up to be "celebs". Certain types allow and encourage the media to focus on them and this is what brings fame and fortune. If it wasn't for the media, nobody would know who they are, and very few would care.

The scum while expressing sympathy for caroline flack and sharing mental health helplines have also today launched an attack on another one of their recurrent targets Katie Price.

Let's be honest here, if you buy that shit rag of a paper you are as much to blame as the journalists peddling this crap.

I have no doubt that the media and social media can be brutal but she did have something going on in her life that is a possible factor.

People are to blame. The media do an excellent job at stirring it all up, but it is ultimately people as a whole that buy in to it and join in on it. People empower the media to do it, the anti-social media lifestyle, mob mentality and just jumping on the hate band wagon are the true issues.

Regardless of what the media end up reporting on, there will always be people who will be venomous, vile, hateful, inconsiderate, disrespectful, and toxic.

It is a domestic abuse case.

In these cases, if it is deemed serious enough, then the perpetrator is prosecuted even if the victim refuses to press charges.

I believe that was the case in this situation.

its been interesting reading social media this morning because in light of what happened yesterday it feel like the most well know internet "trolls" and a ton of the press have had to basically defend themselves and are now playing "victim"

there is enough "hypocrite" to be banded around.. and a ton of examples are being posted in the threads where they mourn the loss of ms.flack

2 questions.... will it change any of there actions (the press and the trolls) probably not! the only way to hurt them is in the pocket.....

will it spark a more wide ranging debate into mental health and the support services there are around.... I really hope it does but again money has to be invested, and because mental health isn't something people can see... it will always lag behind in nhs spending.....

The general public are just as bad for buying these papers. I cant remember the last time I bought or read a newspaper or magazine. I rarely even watch the news these days. It's always full of doom and gloom which just bring a doom and gloom mood with it.

I follow my local newspaper on facebook and see what's happening local to me from their headlines. If it interests or effects me, I look into it further.

If you want to make an impact on these newspapers, stop buying them!

i said the same thing on twitter to some of the people who were mourning the loss.... maybe in attacking others they don't see they were doing the same thing because they considered her a "friend"...... and you'd never do that to a mate!

the only way you will get the press to stop it to to stop buying/retweeting their stuff....

so stop buying the sun for example....

When Israel Folau made a comment, a comment, he did not pyshically hurt anyone, when he made a comment about being gay and his religion and his belief think its wrong.

He was hounded on media, he was kicked off his team, sacked, bullied, his life turned upside down.

Where were all of you then? You didn't defend him because you believed he deserved the bullying.

Now that someone with good fake tan and eyelashes has gotten bullied, when all she did was smash a vase over her sleeping partners head, suddenly its disgusting.

Stopping bullying is nothing to do with defending people you feel sorry for, its to do with defending people you disagree with. It's being pro gay and telling people to leave Israel Folau the fuck alone.

So, do you still want to try stop bullying?

The problem with "celebrity" is that it's foundations are built on very soft sand.

With the availability of social media as a route that anyone can take, celebrity status has become the promised land for so many young people, who usually lack the mental steel needed to cope with the jealousy, antagonism and vitriol that usually goes hand in hand with their fame.

Unfortunately you are never going to stop people wanting the game and celebrity and you are never going to stop the hate that follows it.

As for blaming the CPS, what would people be saying if they had ignored the alleged assault and it happened again and the boyfriend died.

The media will say people want to read it so they supply it. If they didn’t supply it then people couldn’t read it.

It seems quite simple to me, you can have an opinion, you can comment or write things, you can have a debate, all without making it so destructive and venomous. We seem to be losing the ability to express ourselves without hatred and bitterness.

I don’t read papers, I don’t read anything gossipy. I watch the news. I’m not feeding it and I’m not part of it. I had no idea what was going on in this persons life, I just think it’s incredibly sad when a person feels this is the only way to deal with it. I’m sure there are a lot of media platforms that contributed to the difficulties she was experiencing though.

The media, especially written journalism, encourage the hateful behaviour but yes there is no doubt that people (not all) are just hateful in that way with or without the media.

The Media thrives on this stuff, it's very much a case of supply and demand, and give the people what they want. They don't deserve the full brunt, but they are every bit a part of it as much as everyone of those people who make such comments.

CPS wanted her charged even though her bf dropped all charges "

A criminal charge is technically a crime committed against the Queen (hence the R vs preceding the defendants name) as opposed to a civil crime (committed against an individual). Hence if the CPS decide that there is enough evidence to proceed then they are duty bound to even if the alleged victim wants to drop the charges.

Of course the victim could then choose to reiterate their desire not to proceed to the judge/jury in the hope of the case being dismissed or to grant leniency to the defendant.

With any social media, Twitter has good and bad aspects.

I’ve seen people reach out for help when they’ve lost their job and had positive results for example.

There are plenty of decent people on there.

Sadly, there are nasty, vindictive people on there too and I’ve reported some and they’ve had their accounts closed down.

Someone retweeted a celebrity who posted hate messages they’d received, all saying they hoped this person would die. They were all from normal accounts

There was also something someone had put from Caroline Flack’s Instagram account where she said she reached out to someone who told her she was draining. That must have been an absolute kick in the teeth to her

Solely to blame? No. We will never know.

To think they didn't play a part in it would be foolish though.

Regardless what you did. To have the knowledge of having done it (potential regret) then on top of that story after story posted about you, the past dragged up, hateful comments made to the extreme on a national scale (some cases international) it is going to play a huge role in decisions you make. She may have had other mental health issues going on but that kind of negative attention on such a scale would push anyone to extremes.

Lots of parties are to blame for these things. Celebrities use the media to further themselves and court the attention when things are going well. Then complain about intrusion when times are hard. Also the public crave as much information as possible and and criticise these famous people until it goes wrong. Then it's so sad and the press shouldn't have been so intrusive.

Basically.. public stop being so bloody nosey and celebs should realise what they're getting into.

The media probably paid some part, but I think her personal life was more of a contributory factor in her suicide.

You want to see hypocrisy at it's finest? Thousands of messages under Daily Mail comments about bullying, online trolling, social media etc and the awfulness of it all. Last time I looked over 10,000 on one article alone about how much ghetto, straight out of Compton Rachel Me-again has pussy whipped Ging and bringing down the royal family.

Such hate and loathing is as abnormal to me as the mass weeping and wailing following Diana's death.

"The media probably paid some part, but I think her personal life was more of a contributory factor in her suicide.

Such hate and loathing is as abnormal to me as the mass weeping and wailing following Diana's death."

The press play a part but its the people that comment that's the issue.

We see it on here all the time.

"it's only the internet, it's not real"

"I didn't cause offence, you took it"

People need to rember there are real people at the end of these comments.

"With the tragic suicide of Miss Flack in mind

Is it about time the people responsible for making this woman feel like death was the best option

We are so quick to pick on vulnerable people

Then when something like this happens

The media will be all “ tragic loss “

But they are to blame

Manslaughter/ murder ?

I think everyone needs to take a long, hard look at themselves and consider what they type before they type it. From journalists to contributors to Facebook and twitter. They won't though because everyone thinks it's somebody else's fault.

I don't have any idea why she did what she did what she did. I doubt there's any single factor though

Pragmatism, it seems, is a dying art.

"What would people be saying if CF was an ugly bloke who was in court soon for battering his wife but took suicide as a way out (or from guilt)?"
but she wasn’t so what’s you’re point? Or are you turning this into men v women argument

Social media is full of toxic keyboard warriors who know nothing with an opinion of everything.

Regardless of what the media end up reporting on, there will always be people who will be venomous, vile, hateful, inconsiderate, disrespectful, and toxic. "
