some victims of yellow journalism

Even though some of the people I will mention could have been guilty of some crimes, but i feel that they were exploited by the media, as its strategy to boost its sales.

Micheal Jackson: I bet everyone knows about his multiple child molestation trial. About how the media jumped into conclusions that this man was guilty even before a fair trial.

R kelly: *sigh* here comes yet another black man being accused of having sexual relations with a minor. As usual the media feasted upon his demise.

Akon: As if this wasn't enough, another African American music star was accused of indecency with a minor,"who mind you...was in a club for people 21 years and above"! And as luck wasn't on Akon's side, the media attacked him and this made headlines across the world.Thus more and more gains for the media,as people were just hungry for this downfall.

I will mention just these few.There are whole lot of people who fell prey of yellow journalism. And mostly these rich people.This media is very ironic,in the sense that its the same media that makes this people famous around the world(and these stars are happy because they gain fame and money),but its the same media that turns around later in the future to report scandals about these people(and in turn the media gains even more money through these scandals)
