Just how desperate are the press?

re a comment made by Jim's girlfriend on 20/20....this just proves how little it takes to spark interest ....the press have angled it to make Jim look a fool....i'm honestly shocked at how little it takes for the press to get their knickers in a twist...Hell, Marilyn did the same.....I DO IT TOO!!.....lol...i don't wanna be tucking my puppies into my socks when i'm older.......
Any thoughts on the media and their perceptions of stuff ??

As a communications specialist, I can tell you that the medium really is the message.

It's true -- they'll say anything to get a sound bite. They tell us "this is what's making news this evening" and then go on and on about Paris Hilton's lost puppy.

They're starved for news, because they're too lazy to actually go out and look for it. They'll interview a celebrity for 30 minutes, and then only show us 3 nanoseconds at a time, to keep us coming back for more.

And they can really make somone's 15 minutes of fame, turn into agonizing hours of noteriety. I mean, let's get real people.

Let's focus on real issues. Real people.

I need someone I can relate to. Where are they hiding?

lol........besides 'au naturel' is predictable, spice it up with silks and naughty lingerie. But he's a private man.....i guess she'll have to be careful now.....

Sad but true....
They print what they think people want to hear.
Perhaps people should start really saying what they want to see and
hear in the news....
personally I don't want to hear about other people's private life, I
just want to know that they are happy and enjoying a fullness of life,
I do not want to know the intricate details, it they are happy that's all that matters, as long as they aren't hurting anyone else.

i guess she got a wee bit carried away with promoting her book and the press jumped on it..i guess she's having to get used to discretion, she's normally so open..........and i agree...as long as everyone is happy and no-one is hurt or made to look an idiot.......

The press really are way too nosy. I know a lot of people are obsessed with celebrity news, but they have to give them some space, otherwise they will never leave the house, then what would we do!
