    Pitt and Jolie sue British tabloid

    We need to stop buying magazines that have sensational headlines like this. Buy a mag with the story after it has been verified by the couple/person or their spokesperson. We might all like the inside gossip but it’s of no value when it’s lies.

    Freedom of the Press

    Whether it is true or not, if its a tabloid magazine, it is freedom of the press. It’s a tabloid magazine because the story could be true or not.
