The media can't figure out when to leave people alone. There should be a line that they are not allowed to cross. Sometimes people in the public eye have a right to keep some things private.
How do we draw the line, where do we draw it, and who will enforce it? It's just crazy. It's sad what extreme media intervention did to this young man's father. He ended up committing suicide as a result of it.
There has to be someone that the media is accountable to. Part of that responsibility rests on all our shoulders. Stories sell because the population is eager to read trash on someone else. That's so twisted really. Does it somehow make us feel better to read about someone else in trouble? Is that why trash sells so well?
We all need a reality check.
