is anyone else sick of tiger woods, his mistresses, accident, wife, scandal, etc? i understand he’s a huge public figure. he’s a role model. he deserves the scrutiny but for real, let the man be. celebrities in general shouldn’t be your life role model. if you like them for their acting, sports skills, etc., just look at that. i think it’s always difficult to copy someone’s life especially when their life is SO different from yours. how can you possibly understand what a celebrity’s life is like and vice versa? i’m not saying tiger woods is right. i think his wife should smash all the windows in his car, break his golf clubs, and try to beat the crap out of him and his hos. BUT i don’t think our media should be covering garbage like that. what about the summit at copenhagen? our economy?
oh well, i guess we’re just a nosy bunch. a note to future boyfriends or husband. if you cheat on me, i will not be diplomatic. i will kick at your nuts many many many times.

Hello, I’m a friend of Jung’s. If we survey the landscape of t.v. journalism, I would say this genre of Entertainment News has expanded and gotten ugly (TMZ, Insider, etc). With the WWW there is a plethora of celebrity gossip webisites. I am trying to educate the youth in my church on being more media saavy.
The news is made to sell. All news is. These ideas are documented in several books and are not unique to me. For example why does the news have music? If not to elicit emotion…but basically news media is trying to get you to come back to watch.
What does this say about what we want to watch?
