Respect what they're doing? What are they doing exactly that is so groundbreaking?

they're paying people in exchange for leaked footage...there's nothing revolutionary or new about that.
Then why hasn't it happened on this scale before? Why all of a sudden are these huge stories coming out now, and why are they beating people to the punch if others are already doing the same shyt?

Inquiring minds want to know. :ld:

because respect for privacy nowadays is at an all-time low, especially with celebs, and TMZ is the highest bidder for this type of stuff. TMZ getting their hands on surveillance camera or camera phone footage first doesn't make them special.

:heh:

You know this is one of the primary goals of journalist/news outlets right? To break stories first.

I don't get how nikkas don't get this shyt. TMZ never claimed to be a journalist organization. They report shyt on celebs others don't know about. The vast majority of the time they're right. They only give a fukk about popular people because that's all the general public gives a fukk about. TMZ sports reports on every story that can sell. As long as it's factual they'll continue to win. There's a reason the National Enquirer has been in front of the cashier at the grocery store for all of our lives.

And the National Enquirer can't fukk with TMZ.

it's funny, TMZ is the godchild of 40s-50s magazines like Hush Hush and Confidential that made people look at hollywood stars completely differently. they used to be heroes and were presented as paragons of virtue with great care until these pay for play gossip mags changed the game

TMZ is doing exactly the same, just with athletes. we've always seen some athletes as scumbags, but we're about to see a lot more :russ:

this could legitimately change the way sports are viewed in this country :ehh:
