Media Gossip Cheats Men and Capitalism - Page 1 - Katie Kieffer - Townhall Conservative: "Lately, the media has been wetting the public’s appetite for gossip, handing out cupcake stories like Weinergate, Arnold’s affair, John Edwards’ alleged criminal infidelity and reports of Tiger Woods’ marital affairs still affecting his golf game.
Reporting scandal may be justifiable if public figures are criminals in addition to sinners. But, shouldn't 'objective journalism' have some standards for reporting gossip? Extreme coverage of high-profile male cheaters misclassifies all men as deviants and mischaracterizes capitalism - which rewards innovation with money and power – as immoral.
Certainly, politicians and athletes are not 'capitalists' or 'innovators' on par with job-creators like Sam Zell, Steve Jobs and Ralph Lauren. However, journalists who do not understand capitalism automatically lump wealthy businessmen into the same category as political pervs and jocks on the prowl."
