The story is being choreographed into the "news" to draw attention to Diana's view on the evil in the royal family (they shunned her as a result, and ordered her murder).
That was one of my suspicions too.
Meanwhile, I wish Sarah Palin would stay out of the group drawing more attention to the Bashir bashing.
This is not going to turn into anything positive for her.
Sarah was unfairly treated by many, many professionals while at the top of her fame.
Bringing up Bashir will not produce a raindrop of empathy from the Liberals.
