This isn't even a story about David Archuleta.
They can hold their heads up high.
Love you guys.
As a PROFESSIONAL journalist, you need to understand that those who work for "media," and I use that term loosely, like TMZ are neither professional or journalists. A good journalist must be credible and reliable otherwise people soon learn not to talk to him or her and worse readers will stop reading. As with all things a good rule of thumb is "by their fruits ye shall know them" AKA consider the source. Would you cite TMZ in a research paper? I should hope not! Maybe it's just the journalist/researcher/graduate student in me but if I would not cite the source either professionally or academically, then I don't trust the source. TMZ is not journalism. TMZ akin to standing around the watercooler gossiping. Funny how watercoolers were never "dragged into the gutter" just because of congreagations of gossip-mongers. Trust the media but choose wisely how you define media.
What is your take on the fact that AP was quoting TMZ as if it were gospel truth?
