WTF Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Media. I'm tired of the media milking stories until the evaporate. And then the stories will fade away until the next person does something wrong and then the next story comes out a week later. The third day of the Tiger woods scandal, I already knew that Tiger Woods is an American icon, but everyone knows he screwed up, he cheated on his wife, but, he's human isn't he? The media has nothing better to do but to ask special guest speakers to come in and explain every detail of how that person screwed up. Well god dammit I'm tired of it! What about you?

Arekku_Koro Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I think you have a problem with journalism, not media. If you were truly tired of media, you would have logged off of this site by now ;) But I agree whole-heartedly that most journalsim nowadays is just celebrity scandal whoring. I remember back when breaking news meant something besides "X celebrity was boning y person who was not his wife". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These journalists are whoreung the news like how you watch a great movie over and over again. It's exciting the first couple times but then it becomes retarded.

Dissonance Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 People want breaking news all the time. Even when there's no news to break. If you don't like it, don't read it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about you?[/quote'] So, I want you to get up now. I want all of you to get up out of your chairs. I want you to get up right now and go to the window, open it, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!" I want you to get up right now. Get up. Go to your windows, open your windows, and stick your head out, and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Things have got to change my friends. You've got to get mad. You've got to say, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!" Then we'll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open your window, stick your head out and yell, "I'm as mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"

Ensenada Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 The John Terry case is like this. As usual, all stories about icons of a sport/activity get blown out of porportion. Nothing new, and has been going on for as long as news has existed. Prett much anyways ;-) But yeah, sometimes it's kinda annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niño Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 It's entertaining, think of it like reading your best friends diary, you learn all the dirt on them and it keeps you entertained. Personally, I'm not bothered, I do, however, think it's wrong to be pestered after something traumatising has happened to that person. But they can always get a restraining order on Paparazzi. It's possible. ;] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
