It is not for me to judge Ms Lohan’s choices,or whether fame has been less than kind to her,but I have been greatly saddened by the way the media have chosen,with all gloves off and seemingly going with what could please them,to record her efforts and failures.She is a sentient(能感知事物的)human being,not a thing,not a product,not anything else to be sold.
Charles McGrath makes several attractive points in his news analysis about the public demand which is impossible to satisfy,in a 24/7 news cycle forever changed by the Internet,to gossip about,and give nearly complete access to,celebrity or famous persons’ lives.Perhaps people do feel better knowing that wealth and fame do not lead to a perfect life for everyone.Perhaps we admire famous people only to reject them without any pity or mercy when their behavior disappoints us.
I find it ironic(讽刺的)that Ms Lohan’s decision to pose for Playboy for a monetary reward is considered to be morally questionable,while journalists and photographers gain profit by writing about and capturing images of her and other famous people.
Perhaps when reporting on and reading about famous people who have lost their way,we will remember that those people are also very human people who,like us,make mistakes,endure misfortune and have a chance—in spite of media coverage—to begin a completely new life tomorrow.
