Dan Wootton is coming under fire from many twitter users both last night and this morning for his "views" about how Amy Winehouse should have been the lead story on BBC & ITV News.
Offending Tweet
@RachelFabMag @DavidWooding Amy all the way for me. Norway is a day old. Amy is an icon gone.
How the hell can he say this? As someone posted this morning to him , Would he say this if one of his family had been involved in the massacre?
Other Tweets
I agree RT @jamesro47: Terribly depressing news about amy winehouse and utterly remarkable neither itv or bbc bulletins lead on it"
Then he posted this tweet after receiving a barrage of abuse mainly being called the "C" & "B" word.
"Wish we could debate the news agenda without personal abuse. People are allowed to express their opinions on what should lead the news"
he even admitted this to Steve Brookstein of all people
"@stevebrookstein I am sad because I know we would have done the story real justice"

He's just bitter he can't get a scoop so is trying to keep himself relevant by saying something controversial.
I'm an Amy superfan and as gutted as I am about her passing, I agree with the editors in that it is only right that this Norway massacre is the lead story. It was an unforseen attack and as such 92 innocent people have been brutally murdered. Comparatively, Amy was a drug addict for years, so her death was pretty much a forgone conclusion. And while it's not about numbers, I do think that the death of innocents should take precedent over a singular self-inflicted death, legend or not.
Can someone please lock Dan Wootton in to a box and throw away the key?
I do agree witht the BIB though. He has just given HIS OPINION about what HE FEELS should be headline news. It should not lead to a personal attack and name calling. If you agree then express this but name calling is childish and undermines any valid point you may be trying to make
His priority was himself, not those who were the subject of hacking.
He's excuse that is was an 'opinion' is tosh, it's about him crawling up the backsides of celebs and making them feel very important so they think of him as one of us, and in return provide 'exclusives'.
^^This. Couldn't have put it any better.
What a disrespectul imbecile that man is.
And thats the key point there.
He has no empathy for the people dying in norway, he has no real sympathy for amy or her family.
All he has is regret that he wasnt able to do a story on amys death.
And thats all she was to him, a body his parasitic self could latch onto and make money off.
I agree in a way. He's a showbiz journalist, so he will feel a showbiz story about the death of a showbiz person should be top news. He has very different priorities than most other people due to him living and working in the showbiz bubble. Now he's been sacked maybe he needs to return to reality and realise the enormity of the Norway massacre against the death of poor Amy.
Well, l normally defend him, but when l saw that tweet, l was speechless:eek:
Because basically he is a fat, balding, aging, thick as pig sh!t, vacuous, odious little turd with the brain of a maggot.
I think that pretty much sums up why.
Lorraine programme has been using Daily Mail (i think) showbiz reporter to do the Friday showbiz roundup since NOTW was axed.
Ah, thanks. I guess without the newspaper backing him, he's just a guy on twitter and a bit redundant.
"@MrsLRCooper no such luck Lily. Not going anywhere love. PS: Retirement going as well as your shop?"
"@danwootton yes thank you, getting lots of rest, and shop and collection are both doing great !!!!"
"@danwootton @gordonsmart and there was me thinking we'd got rid of you, saw you all sweaty and exited on sky news yesterday, god your gross."
What a plonker.
