nancylebovNPR (Radio Times) is doing an hour-long call in show about whether Tiger Woods has a right to privacy.
This reminds me of the OJ Simpson trial-- NPR was too dignified to just do celebrity gossip, so they did lots of shows about how the rest of the media was reporting on the trial.
The interviewee is blaming Woods for having the sort of persona which wouldn't fuck up.
Is there any conceivable social change which would lead to kinder treatment of famous people?
Addendum: The interviewer just said that yesterday's show about Afghanistan got very few callers, but the lines are filled up today.
