Too Involved?
I was just skimming through some recent celebrity news and an article caught my attention. Jo Piazza posted a brief article, on popeater.com, about celebrity 911 calls. He questioned, “So where should the media draw the line when it comes to 911 calls that involve a celebrity?” It made me think. When people call 911 it’s recorded, but why is it okay to broadcast those calls because it was made by or for a celebrity. He mentioned Brittany Murphy’s last few moments, that was publicized because of the 911 call or Charlie Sheens martial confrontations. Also on this site, I participated in a poll. One question was ‘Even though they are public record, should these 911 be published on air or online?’ For that question 76% said no. Another question was, ‘Have you ever listened to a 911 call that involved a celebrity?’ and 54% (216 people), including me, said yes. When you really think about it, how involved are we?
