This is very true Sadly enough ! It appears in all media sites, YouTube, facebook, twitter, news articles, magazines and especially true on these gossip type TV programs! Which I like to stay clear of / far far away from! But I got to tell ya the majority of the population are atracted to these so called "BIG SCOOP"stories , with their false eye catching headlines , that tend to draw you in like a magnet! You know its right up there with " It doesnt matter if you really did it! All that matters is that people think you did it! "
People love to feel a part of something that everyone is talking about ! It makes them feel like their a part of something! And like all gossip, it travels faster then the truth because its " juicy " , great water cooler talk, and everyone is comunicating now because its a "Good Juicy Story! " The comrotery is truely amazing! And debates at times ensue over whatever the" juicy" topic may be that day!

Not to mention the stories and gossip which quickly spreads around the worknplace or school your attending! Now Just because its compelling entertainment , that certainly doesnt make it true!
More often then not these stories have caused people to lose their jobs! And or their reputation! Have to change schools , and in some instances the media and bloggers actually caused people to take their own life...Or tragically die while trying to escape the paparazzi! Which has far reaching effects on all those left behind for many years later!

We must try even harder in this day of wide spread world wide media , thats in the palm of everyones hands , to be very careful , and think about the consequences and how we can effect others by what we say and blog about!
I personally had a friend effected by a story (Totally untrue i might add! ) that spread on social media This week , and he has since stopped going on all social media sites because of it. This can also effect your ability to get a good job!
In closeing even though a good story travels faster then the truth, and we all like a good story! Please think about who you may hurting in the process...
