We don't watch the news on TV or any of the tv rags, I scan the newspaper. Have you ever noticed good news doesn't sell? So, I just sit and sew, listen to my audiobooks. If I watch tv it is Survivor (Who wants to know anything about Tiger or Jesse when we know all about Russell and Rupert (If you watch, you know who I am talking about!), or the cooking shows, Project Runway, Top Chef. That's my kind of TV. I don't like the stupid comedy shows, the cop shows are violent and the language they use that used to make my cheeks red when we first got cable is now on broadcast tv. I say - WHO CARES? I do, because this is giving the young kids a magnified version of life and they think it is true to life - It's not! True to life is us! Edie

Okay, don't hate me for my opinion, it may not be popular...
But, this is 2010, not 1950, no, I'm not saying what they did was right; what I'm saying is it should be something that's handled between them their family, and the other person(s) involved. Why does the media think that the public needs to weigh in on whether someone apologized properly in a public forum. they are grown men, with grown up wives, and it's their business. it was the media that built up Tiger Woods to be this perfect person... no one gave a hoot about what Jesse James was doing in his daily life until this story broke, now he can't drive down the street without there being some confrontation... oh, and let's not forget, there were women that participated , there's no way they didn't know these 2 were married.Leave them both alone

It sells papers and magazines - there MUST be TONS of media that are depending for smut and dirt to keep a job. I agree with you but it IS being forced down our throats - why? because alot of people do NOT get fulfillment in their lives, I would expect.
