Someone needs to put a bloody horse head in this guy's bed

avid reader of all the 'real life story' magazines

I know this topic is dead, and Hitler has come and gone, but I just want to add a plea to NEVER buy People, Us or any of those crap magazines. Please. If you must read them, read them at the supermarket and put them back without paying.

My family was put through the ringer by these magazines and "news" shows (I'm talking Tom Brokaw, supposedly respectable stuff). Not going to go into specifics since this all faded long ago (1990s). I never saw a People magazine in my house in my entire life and we never went in for this garbage, so no double standard there.

When I made me original comment about the rights of journalists, I did want to make an exception for this garbage, but I just didn't want to go into it. There is certainly a line between news and gossip.  I think it's fine if they want to report on Kim Kardashian and that set, who have consciously made careers out of getting their names into this garbage. But leave Hugh Grant alone, not to speak of obscure people who get caught up in the news and have their phones tapped. But I would like to see due process applied. That's all.
