I hate the fact that they aren't held accountable for their tabloid ism reporting.Sure glad to have read your blog. <BR/> We need to have responsible journalism back into our lives. I'm not sure that will ever happen again.Martigyrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05838636420527655000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634830071864190801.post-91388461931799635292008-07-15T22:25:00.000-07:002008-07-15T22:25:00.000-07:00Journalistic integrity?

But if they didn't do it, people would get by just fine. It's all about "show me the money!"<BR/><BR/>Yes, I do believe there's a need for publicity for celebrities; they need the press to some extent. But hiding in cars, peering over fences and intimidation to get the scoop are not admirable skills IMHO.<BR/><BR/>And the crap they make up should not be allowed - tabloids do this with impunity, knowing that they likely won't be sued because the complainant has to prove "malice". The very nature of such writing is malice; the very nature of harrassing celebrities till they crack is malicious in the extreme. Yet a celebrity who's career or personal life is damaged by this is the one who has to prove that it was malicious - oh give me a break!<BR/><BR/>Yes, we're interested in celebrities - but most of us don't want to see them get hurt emotionally or physically all for the sake of the latest scoop...<BR/><BR/>'Kay, sorry, my rant is over. But this crap pisses me off.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again so much for this blog.nzclaynzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067066131987949190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634830071864190801.post-62526589009478705982008-06-03T16:45:00.000-07:002008-06-03T16:45:00.000-07:00I couldn't agree more and have also often thought ...I couldn't agree more and have also often thought that freedom of the press should not, and was never intended by our founding fathers, to protect character assasination. You should have to stand naked just like the person you attack and answer for your words. <BR/><BR/>I also believe that trespassing laws should be extended to cover the taking of photographs on private property, especially through a window or gate of someone's home.

I posted somewhere recently that "journalistic inegrity" is the new oxymoron. <BR/><BR/>When will our society have had enough of this drivel, and rise up together to combat the lies and dirt and gossip and hate so prevalent in today's media. It's not just the Star, TMZ, Enquirer-types anymore, either. What used to be respected news sources are stooping to join the lowest common denominator (Newsweek, anyone?).<BR/><BR/>It used to make me sad. Now, it's really pissing me off. <BR/><BR/>We need a strong and united movement in our culture to boycott all media that continue to profit from rumor, innuendo and invasion of privacy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634830071864190801.post-83699951471813107592008-06-03T15:54:00.000-07:002008-06-03T15:54:00.000-07:00Wow, Imagine living that day to day.

Let's make fun of you because we can, and lets see if we can hurt your career. Then people wonder why the celebrities run over their feet with their cars and lose control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5634830071864190801.post-29328593184827293372008-06-03T13:34:00.000-07:002008-06-03T13:34:00.000-07:00Wow!
