Read all the news articles on him.

He's probably in quite a good mood right now.

There was a woman, couple years back, just sum average jane from scotland (they all come from scotland, don't they) and she's now world famous, Susan Boyle... She was on Britain's Got Talent and knocked them all down.

I heard about that guy, his voice does sound really good. But on that videos comments, people keep saying he's still and addict and stuff..

>>7 Shouldn't matter, I mean he was a hobo like 3 seconds ago, money and success doesn't automatically reform your character, contrary to popular belief. Not like he's even the worst addict modern media's had these days.

>>8 yeah true, but wouldn't those factors give media some reason to not make him so popular?

Bad publicity is still publicity. Even if they do discredit him, will that be what he's remembered for?

The answer is maybe - I can't predict what the public will say all the time.

I don't know whether it would be better to separate those from the 'general public' from those with 'public voices' since those with voices tend to dictate what the public in the future hears.

And just because something's negative or unpleasant doesn't mean it wont be discussed by the general public. People will talk about things that interest them, and the media gives them interesting things, if they can't, they try to make things interesting by making them sound interesting.

The media doesn't have perfect morals, though perhaps I'm over exaggerating things.

I think the media should do as it's always done.
