TMZ just exploiting people's Grief

in Freewriters26 days ago

Excuse me for being a little too aggressive but seriously, what the fuck is wrong with today's culture that turns death into a headline on TMZ? I wasn’t shocked when a certain website published graphic pictures of Liam Payne’s body and they did it to Chris Cornell too.

It was awful for his 12 year old daughter Toni stumbling upon that photo, you have to spend your life trying to forget seeing something like that as a young child. The image of a child dealing with such a traumatic thing, that’s what is scary.

This isn’t about celebrities. These are people with families. Toni Cornell’s words touched me when she said, "It breaks my heart to think that his 7-year-old son, Bear, might one day come across them and suffer exactly as I did." That’s it. That’s the real consequence of TMZ’s thoughtlessness. It’s not just about the celebrities, it’s about their children and their families having to relive those moments in the most nightmarish way.

They should already be taking the pictures down for damage control, but that's even too late now. Why at all does there need to be public outrage before human decency becomes a factor for some people? I feel like this isn’t journalism, it's more like a race for who can get that headline or photo that will make everyone click on their link.
