Did anyone else find Jan Moirs article in the Daily Mail regarding Stephen Gately really offensive?
Personally I didn’t find it offensive, but it doesn’t mean I approve of this so called journalism. I came to conclusion the real reason it was written in such manner, was because it was somehow deemed necessary to create yet another controversy in order to boost the sales. In short it is a disgrace, and it is pointless to point out that bad news and controversy sells better than reporting the facts as they are. I certainly do not think it is appropriate to speculate that his sexual orientation and lifestyle was somehow responsible for his death, when in fact the entire article IS currently based on speculation and lacks any solid facts at this point in time. I certainly do not object when the media, for once, decides to print or to report the TRUTH. However what I do not like to see is when controversy and speculation overtakes descency and common sense, especially when the person has not even been laid to rest yet.
