Celebrities Bias in the media


I think that its ridiculous that the news can be affected by bias. why is it that so many writers and photographers feel the need to attack celebrities through their own bias? (note: bias is a prejudice used to influence ones opinion through a different point of veiw.) I know that celebrities earn loads of money, and have pretty much everything they could ever ask for... but still. I do feel bad for alot of celebrities. I couldnt stand to be followed around by cameras and have horrible things written about me all the time. No matter how confident you are, its never nice to have mean things written about you, especially in such a public format. recently Jessica simpson woke up to see the headline "Jessica simpson: Its not a fat suit!" showing an unflattering angle saying that Jessica has gained soo much weight... shes only 130 pounds right now as opposed to 105 pounds. Star daily said that she was hosting the pussycat dolls show as opposed to hosting it because she didnt want to "squeeze" into a revealing outfit. as you can see by the picture, jessica simpson is simply obeise now...yeah right. I think it would have been so much nicer..not to mention make so much more sense, if they spun the story so that she is now a healthier weight (130 pounds is roughly the average north american womans weight,) and said that she was not going to degrade herself by performing with the pussycat dolls.

I KNOW!!! jessica simpson is absolutly not fat and i think it would have been better to spin jessica simson gaining weight into a good healthy thing since many young girls read those magazines and it would be benificial for them to see that you can gain weight and still look beautiful
