The Media Can Be Cruel: Thoughts on Jessica Simpson's Weight

28Jan09

Jessica Simpson in concert January 2009Yes, many journalists and their editors can be downright mean.  The latest jibber-jabber is about Jessica Simpson and the weight that she's gained.

Ashlee Simpson is quoted in this article as saying, "A week after the inauguration and with such a feeling of hope in the air for our country, I find it completely embarrassing and belittling to all women to read about a woman's weight or figure as a headline on Fox News."

It's so interesting to me that a women's weight does make headlines - as if there isn't anything else more important in the world to talk about.  How about starving children, perhaps?

It's these types of news stories about celebrities that give journalists a bad name.

Jessica Simpson is a woman with curves and the last time I checked being curvaceous was actually a good thing!
