The soulless determination of the Los Angeles media was perhaps best illustrated by an aerial shot from a news helicopter over Britney Spears’ home during her mental meltdown. The above internal memo from a Los Angeles Assistant Bureau Chief lets readers know the Associated Press is ready to plunge soullessness to new depths.
The singer is embroiled in and losing a nasty custody battle. Principles of journalism require photographers and writers to act with conscience. I can see a stroll down a red carpet not requiring reliance on a conscience, but with two toddlers involved, it’s time to think. The news hounds look like they won’t be satisfied until they are doing glorified obituary stories.
If you read, hear, or see the Spears stories, you can call the paper, the radio station, or tv station and ask for the Editor (paper) or New Director (radio/tv). Tell the boss what you think.

The whole britney psears thin is getting waaaaaaaay too much publicity.I can think of much more important issues that the media could be spending better time reporting on.Like…I don’t know…There are a dozen things I could bring to mind but the one that sticks out is why would the swat team storm the house of a person that homeschools their children for not taking a child to the hospital after the child was bumpped by a vehicle and deemed by the father as to not be life threatening in any way,but from what I understand(I only skimmed the article-sorry.)the state wanted to step in and investigate.Kinda overkill if you ask me.
I might be mistaken about the facts in the case but it is on the internet somewhere.

Sorry about that. the article can be found at :worldnetdaily for Wed. Jan.09 2008
and he wasn’t even bumped by the car.He was horseplaying holding the door handle and fell and bumped his head on the ground.Dad was a medical person in the army or something.read the article.Kinda disturbing to say the least.
DISCLAIMER:
I evaluate what I read on the internet with a skeptical eye,and wouldn’t even mention it if I didn’t beleive a small part of it atleast.What I post is strictly my opinion.

HI BRITNEY,YOU ARE THE BEST,FOREVER!!!
That poor Britney just doesn’t get a break. If I had news hounds following me everywhere and constantly flashing bulbs in my eyes, I would probably have a nervous breakdown. There should be a law against this type of media harassment.
I’d sing the word “Fuck” for the cameras to the tune of Oklahoma. It’d go something like this:
♪♪ Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! ♪♪ Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck! ♪♪
♪♪ F——–U——C——K, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. ♪♪
