So scrolling through some News and I see that one of the news articles is about One Direction. For those of you who may be lucky enough to know who they are, they are a young boy band who were finalists in the X-factor. The media have come across some footage of the a couple of its members speaking about how they are smoking a joint , they are in the back seat of a car smoking a roll up cigarette, whether this contains weed or not has not been confirmed. Firstly I don’t think that this is worthy of my main stream news feed and secondly is the media going to be making a massive issue and drama over every celebrity or person of interest that is caught using drugs? Or has allegedly used or using drugs? Would it then be more acceptable and less shocking if it was a member of a rock band? I understand that they are role models for a younger age group and it is should be reported on but i do feel that it isn’t really something that I need to be told about in 4 or 5 different articles in the same news source.
Not really News Worthy is it? Compared to other more pressing issues I really don’t need to be told what a group of over paid boys who can’t really sing are doing in their spare time! Something that I think should be found in a gossip magazine or in the Daily Mail – this way I wouldn’t have to hear about it!
