Entertainment News or an Invasion of Privacy

just another rant …

Is it just me or has the entertainment media crossed the line?

I don’t know maybe its spring sweeps or maybe they just love to shock folks, some seem to be preoccupied with ratings, a lot just don’t care and all are exploiting a whole lot of entertainment personalities. There was a time when so-called celebs were protected… now the whole idea of being a public figure means your kids, though minors are up for grabs…

I have a problem with it … what about their children or their lives loves and living arrangements

Yes, I admit that I tune into reality TV or gossip shows sometimes to hear whom is dating whom, who the next sexiest guy is.  I even watched j and k+8 until the media exposed too much info and quit, but watching entertainers act out or the pap’s be disrespectful and engage in dangerous behavior while boating, walking, drinking or driving was bad enough now  reality TV is engaged in some sort of contest …  fighting to keep their numbers up … it’s disgusting. We have TV interviews that can potentially or do hurt the families of reckless celebs and then there is the digging to get the story… usually personal and will definitely hurt not only the celeb but also family, friends and the fallout great…

Reality TV and gossip shows are big moneymakers … and it’s sad

We all might want to know  … some so-called reporters dive in headfirst to say… “You know, I got to ask this question”…

What happened to the right to privacy?

Maybe decide the story isn’t worth the hurt and pain it might cause the children in the future.
