How The “Rwanda” News Is Been Reported

It’s finally getting attention. Remember when Eonline.com announced that Paris is working on a second album? Very few websites reported the news. The Associated Press didn’t publish an article about it.

But now that glamorous and rich Paris Hilton is going to visit a poor country like Rwanda, the AP published an article about it. They even mentioned Repo! again. It is a well written article with no hint of bias. Even CBSnews.com, FOXnews.com and ABCnews.com posted AP’s article, and there’s a headline on the front page of each website. This is very good. Many smaller news sites are reporting it. Many of the celebrity websites have welcomed the news, but they’re trying to find a flaw just to be negative.

On websites such as TMZ.com and Hate site thesuperficial.com, 80% of the haters who commented about the news had something negative to say. Some of the comments are inhuman as usual.

Oh those posters at TMZ are a disgusting bunch,no doubt it’s the same haters posting over and over.
Just like at Perez.
As one person wisely observed, those posters are taking their economic frustrations out on Paris Hilton.
And probably that lainey beotch you mentioned posts there too.
The crazy stuff they write originates in their paranoid heads, mental cases with a mouse.

How people can pick holes in this is incredible! I think it’s fantastic what she is doing! It shows that she has a heart of gold and truly wants to help people. It would be so easy for Paris to remain cocooned in her own world, but she is exposing herself to one of the poorest parts of the world, giving time and money to help them, and through her status as the world’s most photographed woman, she will be giving huge publicity to a hugely important cause.

Make no mistake, the money Paris raises through this trip and the money others give because of the publicity she provides will save people’s lives.

It’s interesting to look at the (highly predictable) comments made by people on sites like TMZ, and you wonder how many of them would have said the same about Princess Diana – not many, I would imagine. But the situation is the same – a glamorous, rich, highly photographed Western woman uses her fame and status to help those not as fortunate. Diana was treated like a saint for this, whilst Paris still has to deal with slurs on her motivation and character when she is doing wonderful things for others.

She doesn’t have to do this! She chooses to, because she cares! And if people are cynical about that, maybe they are so bitter and twisted that they’ve lost all faith in humanity.
