Tiger Woods Updates: Are tabloids and gossip magazines The New News Media?

Commentary

If there's one thing certain about the Tiger Woods' scandal it's the new credibility: Granted towards gossip mags and tabloid publications. Since when tabloids have been credible sources of news? It's amazing how in the pursuit of the next breaking story and Tiger Woods Tiger Woods updates, credible news sources are quoting gossip rags and tabloids. Examiner at me are no exception, but at what price do we go for the next big story?

Quoting sources and faulty tabloids has become the new source of the media and when something is actually confirmed as newsworthy, it is lost under piles of glossy tabloid photos and stories that run on the verge of laughable let alone believable. When did the line between news and tabloids blur? Could it have been when Michael Jackson overdosed and credible news was waiting for the confirmed word of his death hours after TMZ broke the story had, Showed photos from the scene, and had a full story up and running is their website?

Tiger Woods updates are hot searches on the Internet worldwide, but there's a problem when Tiger Woods and Elin have not uttered a word and you have 15 alleged Mistresses and umpteenth gossip magazines portraying all different stories. If there's any truth to be told in the Tiger Woods scandal Undoubtedly it is not going to come from a parade of Mistresses getting star treatment as they Descend upon their red carpeted Infamy Into the Loose Women's Hall of Fame, where the likes of Jessica Hahn and Ashley Dupre 'reign and rule forever.

Sure, these Mistresses may score a few playboy Photo Shoots, maybe they'll end up in a music video or two, but no one really cares what they have to say: Thurs apologies Tiger's wife included. Magazines may shell out hundreds of thousands of dollars for their Tiger tales, but that does not make them credible.

The real sources of information in the Tiger Woods' scandal have spoken or chosen to remain silent. Those include Gloria Allred and Mark NeJame, Tiger Woods and Elin Woods, and the Florida Highway Patrol.

Though the story of Tiger Woods' is one of public curiosity, it must be reminded that the sources of these stories are not 'news' nor are they "credible."
