Chapter 208
Behind The Spotlight Chapter 208
Celebrity reporters were hated by celebrities, especially the paparazzi who called themselves "reporters."
News reporters were one thing, but even then, reporters had agendas they fought for, some were bad and some were good. They were often shaped by sponsors, editors, or personal beliefs.
Anyway, reporters loved asking tricky questions. These questions were traps that could implicate people regardless of intent or context. As for why they did it, reporters just wanted to make interesting stories. It didn't matter if it could destroy a celebrity or not, they were selfish and driven by exposure.
In the next two decades, reporters would no longer be respected. Simply because this occupation was no longer about the truth, but about narratives.
Tricky questions were loved by reporters because no matter how a person answered them, they would suffer.
Just like now...
"Mr. Gunner, do you think Hollywood is fair to minorities?"
This question could be answered with Yes or No.
