This latest tirade on Bec is a disgrace. She obviously battled cancer for quite some time.
Be ashamed of yourselves you bunch of heartless merkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've limited previously myself to saying 54 is very young and that this must be tough on her family, but that I had zero respect for her work as a "journalist", but will expand a little in response to this.
Dan Ginane put it well on Triple M last night I thought when he pointed out that for the vast majority of people all they say was a 2D character that she intentionally presented to the world; one that was provocative, offensive and downright disrespectful by design.
That's a fair point, and that's why I say this must be tough on her family and friends, for whom I'm sure she will be a huge loss. But all the same, we're not her friends or family, and whilst I don't agree with the nastier things people have written ultimately Wilson was a symbol for everything wrong with journalism today.
She had zero interest in the truth, pursued numerous very personal vendettas against people she didn't like (just look at the infantile and petty way she carried on about Gal this year) and was happy to print innuendo and rumour with little regard for how it affected people.
I'm sure she was a loving mother, daughter and great friend, but that doesn't change the fact she was still a dreadful journalist that fed hate, lies and slander.
For me, she will not be missed.
