The Media Will Be The Death Of Britney Spears 
Thursday, January 31st, 2008

We've said it before - that the media is hunting down Britney Spears as if she is not a real person, with real (and very serious) problems, that they're hounding a woman with mental and substance abuse problems who is teetering very close to the edge - but of course, the media doesn't care.  So I flick on the TV last night to watch the Republican debate (which I greatly regret), and who do I see, but Britney Spears being carted off in an ambulance, yet again.

We don't know if that was new footage or recycled footage from the last time, and it doesn't matter, because it is Britney's private business.  I think that what people are failing to realize is this is a REAL PERSON we are talking about.  A real person who has been in and out of rehab, hospitals, has lost custody of her children, is showing serious signs of a bipolar or other mental illness, and who is being picked apart like the last of a carcass by vultures.

NONE of it benefits the person who needs the help.  The media is making about $110-$120 million dollars of her tragedy, and that is doing is bringing more attention to the battle she's having enough trouble waging.  They're living off of her unfortunate circumstances.  And it's sick.

And if they push her over that edge, and if she suffers the same outcome Anna Nicole Smith did, Princess Diana did, John Lennon did, Marilyn Monroe did...well, the media would probably make even more off of her.  Is that what you want to help contribute to?


Do you want to help her?  Would you like to truly help Britney Spears?  Stop Googling her.  Stop checking the news about her, stop reading articles about her for a while, change the channel if they bring it up on the news.

In short..."leave Britney alone."
