"Is this really news?" It is Matt Drudge's top story. It is listed on CNN's front page. It is listed on Google's News front page. Yes, it is news. In addition, Gibson's negative comments about Jews and his admission of a lifelong battle with alcoholism make it even more of a story...
No, the only reason its news is because he's an actor. Matt Drudge use to be an entertainment reporter and is enamored with anything Hollywood. That's why it's there. I guess I should re-phrase my question and say is it important? BTW, more breaking news, Madonna is giving up on studying Kaballah.
You may not like what is considered news, but it is news, though it may not be important to you. The proof of that is in the news media coverage of the event...
zEvader Mav's point seems to be that this isn't news that people like him care about. It seems pretty clear to me that when he asked 'is this really news', he meant isn't this the same type of news that Brittany's dog' anal infection would be? Brittany's dog's anal infection is clearly news, isn't it? Given the fact that you are the OP and the thread's most active participant and that you have in fact posted supplementary stories relating to the incident, it would seem that you are the type of person for whom Gibson's arrest is 'need to know' news. The fact that the media are covering it is proof that it's gossip, not news.
True, this shit happens every day in HollyWeird. However you missed an important fact, Mel has been in the cross hairs of the zionist establishment in Hollyweird for 2 reasons. 1) his movie "passion of the christ" was a block buster, but the zionists did'nt make shit from it because he financed it himself and kept all the rights ( Go Mel! ) and 2 ) They've been out to get him for his anti-zionist views that he openly talks about whenever he's outside of America. They've been on his case for a long time, now that they have him they're going to make life Hell for him.
Damn, now that's NEWS . I guess she went too deep into Kaballah and figured out who they really worshiped. It's the Devil folks!! They call the devil the "Enlightened one". You can't make shit like this up. ROTFLMAO!
ROTFLMAO!! I got these Zionists figured out. As expected ( never going to find this on Fox news!!) http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/world/2006-08/01/content_654449.htm "The first fallout from the arrest may have already come with Monday's announcement by ABC that it had canceled a planned miniseries about the Holocaust that it was developing with Gibson's Icon Productions." Here's more. Hahahaha, these Zionists are so predictable. Just stop watching Fox news for a few days and even YOU can start figuring out what's going on. " Prominent Hollywood talent agent Ari Emanuel called for an industry boycott of Gibson in a blog posted Monday. "At a time of escalating tensions in the world, the entertainment industry cannot idly stand by and allow Mel Gibson to get away with such tragically inflammatory statements," he wrote. "People in the entertainment community, whether Jew or gentile, need to demonstrate that they understand how much is at stake in this by professionally shunning Mel Gibson and refusing to work with him, even if it means a sacrifice to their bottom line." Mel is going to get screwed so hard in every orifice to set him up as an example for others. Any one else in Holly Weird that even Thinks! of arguing about their contracts or uttering a sentence against Zion will have to think twice after they're done working on Mel. Well, not that they don't think twice even now. Ohhhh, and in case FOX NEWS did'nt tell you the facts, the arresting officer IS a Jew. "Mee, who is Jewish, would not comment specifically on what Gibson said.". Mel is going to need lots and lots of Vaseline! It's very interesting how the guy who owns TMZ.com ( another Zionist there) knew about Mels comments EVEN BEFORE HE WAS BOOKED!! ( ever think about that one? huh?) These guys have it all planned out in exquisite detail. Beginning with which orifice to begin with!! <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/4640/vaselinefr7.jpg" border="0" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a>
