But where is the content? Even if the charges were fully true, where is the benefit for the readers of the message? Perhaps I say this because there is no benefit for *me* personally to hear bad reports about other people. I just want to learn what they can teach me. If someone got angry and said silly things, I reall don't care about it. Now I admit that others might. In fact I am curious about others viewpoint on this very matter [Do they want to hear it or not?]. I see that sort of reporting as the equivalent of the "National Enquiror" or the "Star" or 'Tabloid' type reporting. It has no interest whatsoever to me, but I see millions of them selling in the supermarket checkout line. Maybe I am the one who has it all backwards as far as the majority is concerned. I'd rather read "Scientific American" or "Awake" magazine than "People" or any of what I call 'Yellow Journalism' publications. But what can I say. My mother, who was college educated, subscribed to the Enquirer for a time. :-( To each his tastes?
