I'm not taking sides on the debate because I haven't decided exactly where I stand yet. Still on the fence gathering info and weighing the right to privacy versis the grab for celebrity verses those who have celebrity thrust upon them.
Seems to me more than anything else, it's all about getting the dirt on the flavor of the month and scooping the other mags and tabloids first and they don't care what tactics they have to use to do it including hiring thugs and paying absorbadent amounts of money for grainy poor quality images. The bottom line is ( in my mind) if this so called industry and the journalistic industry that feeds it is not regulated soon someone is going to die again and next time it might just be few of those bottom dwellers with camera's ...where will sympathies lie then I wonder.
Just for the record I don't buy tabloids or entertainment mags either but I do admit to reading them when they are available in waiting rooms I'm trapped in from time to time. Also I will hear things on the TV and those sites are the ones that come up when you're doing a web search. I personally have begun to notice more and more of the so called reputable "news" services report the fluff more and more these days. What's the answer, no news, no TV new, no print news, no magazines....apparently it touches all facets how feasible is it to draw a true line?
Still more food for thought...at least for me
