Tabloid Fetish Mentality

Tabloid News could be defined as an online newspaper providing breaking news in condensed form, with illustrated, entertaining, and often sensational and scandalous material that focuses on   Celebrity fashion and gossip exclusives and gives us something to talk about...  and speculate about...  and, be thankful that we have not been caught yet.

And why do these types of newspapers exist? 

Because we buy them!



Top 10 Tabloids





Don't we all have a little bit of Archie Bunker inside us?






And, when you think about it, mainstream media has more than just a little bit; if you ask me, mainstream media has more of a fetish for sensational journalism, reporting, and interviewing than the tabloids.

But, whether you agree with me or not is beside the point because this type of NEWS is here to stay because a majority of the American public wants it that way.

It seems like we want all our celebrities a little glamorous and dirty.

They are loaded with lies about people, untruths, and have been able to create major scandals out of thin air. They get sued a lot. People who read and believe them are not Harvard grads. They are at the opposite end of the spectrum. Trailer trash types I think we call them down here.

yes, say all over... but, it is not the tabs that I am talking about but the fact that mainstream media seems to be trying to act like them.
