Angelina Jolie Latest Victim Of Fox News Hissy Fit, Slanted News AND Sour Grapes - Page 4
"Paparazzi should be allowed to do their job," he said, adding that he condemned Jolie's banning of FOX News and actions taken on her behalf in Namibia.
Note the slanted bent in this story. It's all about how Fox was maligned, even though they said "nice things" about the film. Woe is Fox News, banned from a movie premier. We had our wittle feelings hurt. Whatevs. This is celebrity news, the stuff of make believe. This isn't hard hitting news, you weren't out to make your journalism professor proud, you were out to make a quick buck and had the door slammed in your face.
Anyone with a modicum of cultural awareness would have noticed that Angelina Jolie has done numerous interviews in recent months were she has spoken EXTENSIVELY about her personal life and her relationship with Brad Pitt. Just last month in Cannes, at the world premier A Mighty Heart, Jolie was slammed for turning the interviews into stories about her and her life rather than the film. Now, merely a month later she is getting beaten up for insisting the press focus on the film rather than her bedroom antics or adoptive practices.
Cripes, she can't win. I feel very weird defending Angelina Jolie. I am not sure how I feel about her at this point. I am not even sure of my political views at this stage in game. But I know slanted journalism when I read it, and that sh*t ain't cool.
If your motto is "We Report, You Decide" like Fox News boasts, then by all means, let me decide. Otherwise it's not the news, it's your opinion.
And if I wanted an opinion about a news story I'd read a blog, not some jackholes pretending to be a "legitimate news outlet."
