... And now Tiki Barber?
Sigh. We are now airing Tiki Barber's dirty laundry along with the likes of Tiger Woods, Jesse James, and every other celebrity who has been unfaithful to his or her spouse.
Is this a sign that we're too focused on other people's lives, and not enough on our own? Is this what should pass for news nowadays, or is this something that ought to be left private?

The recent airing of report on Tiki Barbers leaving his 11 month pregnant wife Ginny and replacing her with intern Tracy Lynn Johnson are just one of the twists and turns of the public's fascination on the private lives of celebrities. The main contributing factor of this fascination maybe in part fueled by exaggeration of media particularly in the area of showbiz gossips.
It can also be seen as a way of the public to say that all people have the innate vulnerabilities that will make people commit mistakes. In the sense that news outlets reports these things, it distracts ordinary people to focus on their own lives as well as important public issues and in the eyes of media networks, "no news is bad news", they just report in the interest of journalism they say but they forgot that there is a thin line between on the things that should be private and events that should be made public.
The best thing the public can do is raise an awareness and react to reports that intrudes every persons own privacy.
