News Anchor Death TMI or OK?
-
Well, essentially, a straight-married news anchor was engaging in a Grindr tryst, and died in a hotel room due to a crystal meth overdose delivered anally.
The Queerty article does a decent job of presenting two arguments:
– it's too much information considering the impact on his family and workplace,
or...
-- it's fair game in our modern-day news cycle, or useful as a cautionary tale.
What are your thoughts about the way the news anchor's death was reported?

The question of news vs gossip.
I have little interest in this type of story. It reduces a person's life to an embarrassing death. I'd support not running it.
But i can see the slippery slope if we censor things we find shameful. I remember how far we had gotten into the AIDS epidemic before we started talking truthfully about it.

If it were a private person, then I would say it's off limits.
As a public figure, I have less concern.
As a news anchor, he probably had no problem telling these stories about others, so I have even less problem.
