Oscar Pistorius, Celebrity Crime, The Media, Justice, The Police & Wealth (Part One)

The Black Spy Podcast, Season 13, Episode 0008

This week's Black Spy Podcast looks at the connection between Celebrity Crime, advantage and the media. At the same time we also consider the 180 degrees opposite to this advantage, in that often, their very celebrity brings their faux pars to light, making them difficult, if not almost impossible to hide. Moreover, as the media has a vested interest in bringing any celebrity news to light, any negative celebrity actions sell exponentially to the masses, who crave any information about such celebrates placed in newspapers, or broadcast on TV and now in social media; which has changed previous monopoly of state mass media who had previously ruled the roust.

Geo-Politically, we ask if this celebrity infatuation corrupts the justice system, by celebs obtaining the best legal advice possible to gain the low sentences or even acquittals that would not be open to less wealthy everyday citizens.

Listeners will also hear how this effects police tactics and the perception o police capabilities, particularly in the UK. Hence this becomes an extremely wide ranging debate over two episodes.

So once again the Black Spy Podcast goes where other media outlets tend never to tread or don’t even consider assessing.
