Do you think its ridiculous that...?

supposed "news" shows like the Today Show on NBC use the celebrity gossip show TMZ as a source?? I was watching the Today Show yesterday morning. It had the story about the model who was killed and stuffed into a suitcase then thrown into a dumpster. Matt Lauer or whatever his name is was giving off information saying "according to our sources from TMZ..." and it infuriated me. I mean TMZ is gossip. Why is the "news" now using them as a reliable source? What do you guys think?? I don't think TMZ should be a source for serious stories such as the death of a model.


I watch TMZ for the fun of it or when theres nothing else on, but I mean I watch it for FUN, not for serious news lol

TMZ is fun to watch, but yeah, you're right, the quality of news reporting has just gone downhill in the last few years. Everyone uses bloggers or gossip columnists now because they're too damn lazy to do their own investigating and fact checking.
