The Patrick Swayze Death Watch!

[Cosmicman]

Anyone hear about this?
Some loony texts on Twitter that Patrick Swayze was dead and by the late after noon hundreds upon thousands (even media) started reporting the guy as dead.
Could you imagine being Patrick Swayze right now? He is thinking that people probably want him to be dead. Unbelievable.

This media crap gets worse and worse every time. Patrick isn't even dead and the media tabloids are chasing him around with shovels. Give the guy a break!

poor guy, I'm sure he's not even paying attention to these people

[Gorn Captain]

I'm sure he has better things to do than pay attention to that kind of crap.
Like spending time with his family.

Another death watch? I'm not trying to rain on your parade but didn't the Farrah death watch get your point across?

That junk is an unfortunate part of being a celebrity. Doesn't make it right, but it still happens. I'm sure he's not paying much attention to it. My favorite movie of his is Point Break, then North and South, but I also like Road House even though it was sort of silly.

I was thinking the exact same thing....can't complain about the problem when you're contributing to it with sensational threads like this...

No, if you read my post. It was about the ****** bags that misinformed the media about Patrick being dead. The posts are a little different.

I understand what Wrath is saying and agree. Here is a report yesterday from Swayze's rep who says he is not knocking on death's door.

Yes, I did read it and while it is a little different it is still the same rant about how the media is crap for doing this. It's not that I disagree with you but why feed the machine?

[Wee67]

And AS a media ***** (maybe that should be my new title ) let me tell it is exactly this or any interest in subjects like this that drive SOME in the media to try and guess what will interest you.

We did NOT report on this, but the we were aware of the report which only actually hit on a Jacksonville radio station. I do know in our newsroom we heard abou the report and then tried to confirm it through Swayze's agent. He told us it was not true and we moved on.

BTW, I don't mean to come across as offended or even upset. I've seen my colleagues do enough damage to understand where these impressions come from.

Jacksonville radio, eh? Florida radio is on par with those college radio stations that anyone could volunteer and get on the air. Unfortunately Florida radio has a frequency stronger than just the other side of the campus.
Larry the Cable Guy is easily the smartest man on the radio down here.

That is what I am talking about. I don't mean to "feed the media" I just can't believe some ******* on Twitter made 30% of the world think Swayze was dead. That is the power of the Internet right there.
