This falls into the category, for me, of "Nobody makes me read the damn papers". There are a whole lot of things that I won't read, or listen to, or watch on TV. I will not read anything to do with the Royals. Any royals. I switched the TV off if it showed Margaret Thatcher. There are whole swathes of the media I won't buy, or even take if given for nothing (I'm looking at you, News International).
The whole Reeva Steenkamp killing has smelled of nothing but wrong since it came to light. The first thing I heard about it was a radio piece about how much middle class South Africa worried about "intruders". I thought, "Someone is spinning this story pretty hard" and turned from Radio 4 to Radio Scotland.
I know it sounds pretty childish to say "Ignore it and it will go away", since it won't go away for everyone. But it will go away for me.
