I don't think anyone is missing that point. Some people can see that the forest is made up of trees. What you seem to be missing is that raising objections to media manipulation, classism, or deconstructing the social relations surrounding the show itself, is not necessarily an objection to what you are saying. It is as if you are insisting that the only thing that is relevant is Ms. Boyles temerity to stand up for herself, and that any wider discussion is some kind of insult to that, and we should all shut up therefore. If you had bothered to read what I wrote, for example, my postings fully acknowledged her personal achievment, as when I said:
That said I like Susan and if she can get some headway here for herself against the tide of corporate class warfare in the UK and some respect, all the more power to her. That personal achievement should not be underated.
You are just picking a fight for some reason only known to yourself. At one point I considered taking up the issue of the John Lydon case, and the discovery that even a grass roots reaction against corporatization of music, one that directly challenges it, can be commodified. Punk is the perfect example. I laugh every time Henry Rollins tells everyone to "turn off your TV's now!" on national televisions -- its makes for great TV.
