We have no reason to believe it was she who shared this information with him, so it is quite apparent that her personal information had made the move from private to public knowledge prior to his learning it. How can he be held ethically responsible for protecting the privacy with which he was never invested?<br /><br />The man's running a broadcast news blog, for Christ's sake, how fair is it to condemn him for failing to treat the news leaks and/or industry gossip that comes his way to a higher standard than that by which it came to him?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-8049857798005187632013-10-18T17:04:10.052-07:002013-10-18T17:04:10.052-07:00Unless you are playing dumb 8:46, you're missi...Unless you are playing dumb 8:46, you're missing the point which is that the First Amendment is not necessarily determinitive here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-8525853734062550212013-10-18T14:00:25.161-07:002013-10-18T14:00:25.161-07:008:46: We are not talking about shouting about bomb...8:46: We are not talking about shouting about bombs on planes, but the privacy rights of celebrities.

Please add this to what you might consider. Public disclosures of personal issues do, in fact, affect more than just the "public" figure. Children and spouses are drawn into the circle as well. In local media, it's even more pronounced. On a small scale, you're a public figure. You didn't run for office. You do the news, and if you're on TV, people see you. You don't have a huge salary or PR handlers, or a buffer. You are accessible to anyone who recognizes you. Maybe you don't want your child to have to field questions about your illness. <br />I respect and applaud the late Ms.Fancher's choice, but I'm also glad that choice was hers to make.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-66568603767589590042013-10-17T16:41:13.262-07:002013-10-17T16:41:13.262-07:00Hey people if you don't like what Rich says at...Hey people if you don't like what Rich says at least be civilized about it.
