British public broadcaster has faced numerous complaints over its coverage of the Princess of Wales' cancer. The BBC dealt with the subject without interruption, to the point of appearing “excessive and insensitive” The BBC nevertheless defended itself, saying its media treatment “reflected the importance of this story and the outpouring of support for the princess from around the world” However, we remember the conspiratorial comments of a sports journalist from the channel, Sonja McLaughlan, made days before the announcement of Kate Middleton's cancer.
