Digging for the love song?=)

well love song is something different when we take a look at it.You can really feel it compare to other song, such as the mood.Besides, sometimes it motivates you in many things, and indirectly make you a better person.Giving you hope is one of the things that the love song does,which is like you can find something good in this life.

Another reason is that someone who falls in love,that's the time when he/she would 'dig' all the love song in the world to suits their moods, and wish that their love life would be as wonderful as the song.

Love song can also be relaxing for most of the people,as it is kind of sentimental,slow and smooth song,so it's can relax your mind body and souls.

yellow journalism?

i agree of what mogolo have said,some of the victims, such as akon, michael jackson, they have been bring down by the same media who brought them up at the begining,and all of this happen is just because to make the publisher get more money.
ok now back to the question,is it the information in the newspaper is reliable?
well most of it,the newspaper it is the reliable information for us to be obtain,but sometimes we cant just depend too much on it.like ziyin had said,its up to us to decide whether it is exageratted or sesational.

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)

Yellow Journalism

The Yellow Journalism is the use of lurid features and sensationalized news in newspaper publishing to attract readers and increase circulation. The phrase was coined in the 1890s to describe the tactics employed in furious competition between two New York City newspapers, the World and the Journal . Joseph Pulitzer had purchased the New York World in 1883 and, using colourful, sensational reporting and crusades against political corruption and social injustice, had won the largest newspaper circulation in the country. His supremacy was challenged in 1895 when William Randolph Hearst, the son of a California mining tycoon, moved into New York City and bought the rival Journal.

Agree

I agree with what David and Sim said . It is true that they use manipulation and exaggeration to gain public interest and earn more money , without those manipulation and exaggeration public wouldnt want to read the news and it will not be interesting enought to attract the readers . What for do they want to care about the audience when they can earn big money , for them manipulation and exaggeration is the key to earning money .
