The Farrah Fawcett Death Watch!

[Cosmicman]

OK. I know there is another thread somewhere about her but I wanted to speak on a different level.

Isn't journalism taking a major low? I mean....originally, they paid some schmuck who worked at the hospital that stole her records and sold them to the Enquirer for 50 grand.
Now every channel news reporter is covering the "death watch" waiting for her to die like some kind of media circus. If this was my mom or a loved one, I would go postal on someone. I think Ryan O'Neil is a big ****** bag and enough is enough!

Please step back!

My Grandmother died of cancer and it was close family members. Nobody talked about a "death watch" like it was some kind of god damn three ringed circus. This makes me ticked off and upset as hell.

I think this is offensive and sometimes the media takes things a little to far.

The death watch? When does journalism cross the line?

There are, apparently no lows to journalism, and to people's obsession with "sensational news".
I wonder how a journalist would feel if his wife was dying, and people went through his trash for "interesting info".

Sad....

When does journalism cross the line?

Pretty much everyday at 12 , 6 and 11

Journalism crossed the line on day 1 and the people who buy it, watch it, sponsor it all crossed the line hand in hand singing happy songs.

That's pretty much what I was thinking.

Sex, violence, etc. it all sells.

In Farrah's case it's a former swimsuit model/actress afflicted with cancer...
apparently at death's door.

"Celebrity" "Sex symbol" "Death"----that's like a journalistic hat trick.

Did you guys read where reporters from the Inquirer signed Brook Shields' mom outta the home she's in? nobody knew where she was the cops found them in a restaurant down the road conducting an interview

In today's world, i'm not surpised by anything the media does toward celebrities good or bad.

Today's world has become sexually and morbidly fixated.

The only reason the beast survives is because so many people are feeding it.

Wasn't Farrah's Story her project? Of course they're all over her right now.
