(8,747 posts)Arrogant media assholes think they can question anyone, about anything, anytime, and those being questioned are just supposed to kiss the media's collective ass and answer.
The media can violate people's privacy, stalk them with still and video cameras, dig through people's trash, intercept their private voicemails and other private conversations, in sort do what the fuck ever they want, and seldom do any of the bastards ever go to jail.
Then when the media gets outed and confronted on their misdeeds, the want to proclaim themselves as untouchable because of free speech and freedom of the press.
And in those cases when the media is proven wrong, they try their best to weasel out of any real punishment. They might pay a fine or settlement, but will admit no real wrongdoing or malice. Then they apologize on some back page, or at the end of a broadcast, and go right back to their slimy ways.
