Here is a guy who has photos (sexually suggestive it seems) stolen. Someone delivers them to a TV station who does the only logical thing: Air them for some 80 seconds.

I know news is a competitive business, but c'mon. These people need to be responsible to the community as well. There was nothing illegal in those pictures and nothing really wrong, only something really embarrasing.

There almost needs to be a website dedicated to embarassing news directors in the exact same way. SOMETHING.. ANYTHING.. to make the news media show any kind of class at all.

*sighs*

This is why the media is pretty screwed up. Stuff like this. And i AGREE wholeheartedly with you on this one. A website, for the media elite, targeting the SOB's for stuff like this. Maybe a dose of their own medicine will inject some humility into them. damn shame. I feel bad for the guy, no s**t..dman

*Ya know what, his wife is correct. Hang in there, folks may see past the garbage the opposing party spewed on this one. Pretty damn sad if you ask me..

I'm so old I remember when you could turn on the TV and get actual news.

Nowadays it's just infotainment served up by a bunch of complacent, vacuous bobbleheads and talking hairdos.
