Strong vs. Weak News

I found the Hollywood gossip news report about Tila Tequila being assaulted by her boyfriend, Shawne Merryman to be a news report not worth mentioning. The reporting was shady as far as details about what really happened. Although not in the report, it is speculated that Miss Tequila was very intoxicated at the time the alleged occurred and that Merryman was keeping Miss Tequila from operating a motor vehicle while she was extremely drunk. She accused Merryman of choking her. When being interviewed on T.V. there were no physical signs on her body to show that she was choked although there were bruises on her arms from where Merryman tried to keep her from leaving. This type of reporting is of course biased and not fair to the reputation of Merryman. He has already had enough gossip thrown at him due to a 2006 suspension for the use of performance enhancing substances and then having to sit out the 2008 season due to a knee injury. Miss Tequila, in my opinion, is talentless as a reality actress and talentless as a low profile girlfriend. She should have thought about the reputation she was about to ruin due to her drunkenness. That’s the only good news reporting in the whole story. That Merryman quite possibly saved Tequila from at worst, involuntary manslaughter charges to the least a misdemeanor DUI. Way to go, The only thing left I want to say about this story is that the only one involved in this incident that has any talent is Merryman. Not only as a pro football player, but also as a person that cares what happens to his other half at the time. So much for low profile! This news in my opinion is weak due to lack of the facts in the story but also how it can also damage the reputations of professional people.
News to me that is noteworthy but not mentoned in the news these days are things people are doing to improve their communities and the world around them. What about local charities and churches? I have noticed if you read the newspapers, They focus on a lot news in the community that is positive. The local news on T.V. is terrible. Nothing but bad news. Who wants to suffer watching this junk hours on end? Not me. No thanks. I’ll stick to reading the newspapers for news.
