The press has that sinister undercurrent underneath it, while all the while, trying to look like they care and are there to give us the news with objectivity.
But at the same time, Stevie and others like her who've been in the business for decades *know* that that is how the media works and if they want to buy into it, it's their fault and not the media's. I don't think the media or the journalist should be at fault here, Stevie said what she said knowing full well what could've been printed. I don't disagree with a word she said, but she's a woman of 55, she's been around the block more than enough, and she knew what the repercussions could be if she opened her mouth about the issue. But then again, Michael Jackson wasn't aware of the repurcussions for dangling his baby...
