Because the market they see view askew fans being in is one they want to tap into as paper sales faulter. They find somone wih a cult following, and by exploiting that person, they hope to sell papers to his fans.
: I can't imagine Jason Mewes selling that many papers.....we agree that it is exploitation....but I just don't understand why.....at least if it was Tom Cruise or some other big person, it would be just as wrong but I would know why they are doing it.....all this results in is exploiting a person with legal problems who reportedly has a drug problem...and these these offhanded reports of him being presumed dead or out of the country...thats a big fucking difference between the two, he's either dead or in France...umh, ok.....responsible journalism has just gone out the window....
: : They have space to fill, and newspapers arent about the news all that much anymore, it is about exploitation, sensationalism, and using the suffereng of others to keeps sales up.
