The papparazzi and press need to be reigned in, big time.

I've said this in threads about the Iraq war, and it's really no different here... The "media" has this idea that they're not just "the annointed," but also that they're special, and deserve special treatment. We see that here, just like we've seen in Iraq. Frankly, I think that a lot more people in the media need to be killed "in the line of duty," just to remind them that they're NOT particularly special.

I like the fact that Gwenyth Paltrow's hubby attacked one of the photographers... I just wish he would have kept the camera, and maybe really beaten the guy. Didn't Britney once "run over" a paparazzi's foot? She should have backed up and REALLY run him over.

A few dead "journalists" and photographers and maybe the rest would catch a clue.

And no, I'm really NOT kidding.

The "media" has this idea that they're not just "the annointed," but also that they're special, and deserve special treatment.

I've said the same. They think being a "reporter" or "journalist" is a special calling, like how Priests and Nuns answer God's calling. They actually believe that during a gun battle, BOTH SIDES have an obligation to not shoot in their direction, and in fact, should be required to protect them. That's why they gasp so loudly when a reporter is killed.

I don’t know... A few dead drug dealers doesn’t seem to stop the rest.

“The “media” has this idea that they’re not just “the annointed,” but also that they’re special, and deserve special treatment.”

True, but considering that the biased “media” has such power and control over what we ‘take in’, what we are ‘fed’ on a minute to minute basis, and, IMO, as in the case of how all aspects of their election coverage influences the outcome of it, it’s no wonder the reporters act like Gods.

Montel Williams walked off the set of Fox & Friends during a commercial break the other morning when the anchors insisted first on yet another discussion about the death of Heathe, before they would promote his book. Williams argued NO and how shameful it was that the media coverage never includes the names of the soldiers who die on a daily basis in Iraq... and he left without any mention of his book. Props to him.

There are plenty of stars who don't act like idiots and don't fight with photogs so they are given some space. Britney and her gaggle of heiress sluts crave the attention or they wouldn't make the scenes that they make, sans panties.

If Britney really wanted to be left alone, she'd move away from LA and quit walking out and sitting on curbs for attention.

I’m not a big fan of the Paparazzi...they are vultures. But I think Britney craves their attention at this point in her life for some reason. You dont see other stars going out several times a day for coffee or to the drug store. They pay people to do that stuff for them. But Britney goes out every single day, several times a day knowing they are waiting for her. And she always drives herself which doesnt make sense either if she didnt want to be bothered she should get a driver. I think this narcissism combined with whatever mental problems she has is what is making her close to hitting bottom. Thats just the way I see it.
