It completely baffles me that someone would pay that kind of money for pictures of someone’s kids. For once I would like to see the media idolize a good doctor, engineer, or someone other than the highly exalted “movie star” who actually contributes relatively little to humankind by being pretty or being a good actor.

well, the problem with that is doctors and engineers don’t owe their careers and position to the goodwill of the press, which puts the press in a relatively powerless position.

The press likes to use and abuse it’s power and they know that celebrities depend on their goodwill. Doctors and engineers don’t.
