Drudge is reporting that Kerry and wife slept in seperate hotel rooms after a heated discussion. I know that most of you are saying, "well duh it's drudge" but I thought I would take the opportunity to point out that this type of story does not constitute news (IMO) and is simply tabloid journalism.

"Give us dirty laundry" --Don Henley You can call it tabloid "journalism" if you want, but there's a fine line between journalism and rumor-mongering.

I think your next thread should by titled "This is wrong." It will give you an opportunity to post a link and explain why child molestors are bad.

Would you have a lower impression of Kerry if it was with a black woman with whom he had an illegitimate child?

The next time I learn about a specific case of child molestation I just might but I doubt I will start it in the politics forum.
Again, thanks.
