My Twitter is set up primarily as an information and news source. I am connected to a few friends, several news outlets, journalists, and other professionals in fields I am interested in keeping up with. Imagine my surprise when a firsthand blow by blow of a domestic altercation between a former professional athlete, his wife and one of her friends found its way into my timeline. I really did not think that was my business so I made some changes, and once again, all is peaceful in the realm of my timeline.
I know that our society is really into getting all possible details into celebrities (and former celebrities’) lives, but sometimes I really would not mind getting back to the days when everybody famous’ business was not all over the tv and web.
I agree wholeheartedly. I often see things on FB and on the local news where they are reporting deeply personal information and I think, ‘that is none of my business.’ Example is when they recently reported that a celebrity had cancer. That is none of my business unless celebrity himself decides to divelge that information.
I don’t know which is more awful, that somebody whose job was to respect confidentiality sold out for a few dollars or that somebody else thought it was pertinent enough to bribe the person.
Totally agree. It’s amazing to me what some news outlets consider “news”.
Especially when there is plenty of real news to cover…:)
