It looks like I'm not the only one who's fed up with the whole Kris Aquino-James Yap-Hope affair. Is Philippine Daily Inquirer's Nestor Torre referring to the scandal when he wrote in his recent column that tabloids and TV showbiz-oriented talk shows on TV, "which bank on scandal," focus on "intrigue and gossip to sell copies or jack up ratings"?
"Tabloids and show biz-oriented talk shows should... police their own ranks to curtail the pollution of our communal atmosphere," he wrote in his March 1 "Viewpoint" article Shame and scandal in the show biz family.
Check Torre's article here.

It is classified as a scandal for movie stars but for common folks it is a domestic/marital issue.
This entire scandal is indicative of one social issue in journalism, the media feeding the masses what they want to hear and listen to vs. whether the media should report and investigate issues relevant to the masses and beneficial to society.
