Question for all -
Has the Media gone MAD these days?
After Octuplets/13 year old dad case - I think the Media has gone mad. Its easy way for these people to make money. The Media IMO are encouraging them to do so with ludicrous offers. (see below) Yes - agreed media also make money as these stories sell - but i think they gone mad with offers of documentaries etc. Money could be better spent.
P.S See second pasted article from CNN - Anyone want to donate more money as well as your tax money 🤢 to her 'good cause' - sorry mods if posted/debated before.

At least 15 television companies are locked in a fierce battle to make a documentary about the cherubic teenager's young fatherhood, and media experts estimate Alfie could earn up to half a million pounds.The Independent on Sunday has also learnt that behind this week's revelations was a furious row between Alfie's family and The Sun. The newspaper is accused of "turning over" the family and reneging on a deal to pay about 25,000 for the initial photographs and video interview, which was uploaded on the paper's website

(CNN) -- Nadya Suleman, the single mother of newborn octuplets, is using the Internet to help support her family of 14 children. She's started a Web site seeking donations.

dunno

but i guess we have to give it to media persons for being so professional
that they have become robotic
and don't have any feelings while at work !

btw -
Walter Cronkite , the journalist who had tears in his eyes while announcing the assassination
of John F Kennedy ...........

we need more like him !

Media works off of $$$$, so what brings in the $$$ (i.e. senseless news) will be on your TV set...Its sad, there are so many things going on in this world that need exposure and they will continuously focus on that lady with like a 1,000 kids (over exaggeration here)....

There are mini genocides, slavery and even worse topics like trafficking going on...They should be showing that and getting some help from the bigger nations to put a stop...

but its my opinion 😊
