What a croc of #### this whole thing is.

Celebrities/politicians use the media to promote themselves, and the media lets them because it’s ratings gold. Media rips celebrities/politicians to pieces (“build ‘em up, tear ‘em down”) and concerned parties have learned to profit from this.

It’s a disgusting dichotomy that has somehow risen from trashy tabloids to become a mainstream media buffet for bottom feeders. It’s shameless, and I’m more inclined to blame the media for this. Not news consumers, not celebrities: the media. The industry needs to hold itself to a higher standard. But of course: advertising revenue.

Let me guess, Sheen has a new book coming out. Or a new show/movie. Or his contract is coming up for renewal. Or, or, or . . .
