Celebrity Gossip Blogs: Should politics and royal news be left for the mainstream media?

Over the years celebrity gossip blogs have gotten more and more popular. The likes of www.perezhilton.com and www.celebuzz.com love to gossip about the latest scandals in Hollywood. Whilst I myself admittingly love to indulge in the gossip it got me thinking. Where do they draw the line? What topics are off limits? Personally I feel that www.perezhilton.com has crossed that line. Whilst I appreciate that Perez is trying to keep his blog current he should not be gossiping about the British Royal Family or politics. Having read what he has said on both topics has made me realise how much he lacks in education on the topics. I feel that he’s written what he’s written out of ignorance. As a gossip blogger if you are going to tackle the topic of politics you shouldn’t impose your own views on your audience. The reason I feel this is because you can influence people’s decisions. In today’s age people are on the internet all the time. They have access to instant information and people’s views quicker than our ancestors did. This makes blogs extremely powerful. Perez has influenced a lot of people already with his strong political views. I don’t think he realises this. Making statements like he has out of anger has fuelled the flames of hate for Donald Trump. Whilst I don’t condone all that he does Perez should have only reported on the facts. When you put your opinion in the mix as a reporter is a catalyst for disaster. Big mistake Perez. Big mistake. I’ve also noticed that a few gossip bloggers have also been gossiping about my family. I happen to be a lesser known member of the British royal family. I’m going to try and stay impartial in my comments. I’m only human. If it gets to personal I apologise. Let’s get started. Ever since Rachel Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding gossip bloggers have been gossiping about the British royal family. Whilst I can understand that they got used to gossiping about Rachel. She’s a Duchess. Yes she was an actress but she isn’t now. It’s inappropriate to think that you, gossip bloggers, have the privilege to continue to gossip all because of what she once was. It’s inappropriate on so many levels. Celebrity gossip bloggers don’t understand the reason why the royal family are as they are. The formality of being a royal, rules that uhave to be followed are a few things that are harder for your average Jack / Jill to understand. Commenting on what a royal does without clearly understanding royal protacall is naive. Education is everything. It doesn’t matter what subject you talk about. If you don’t understand the situation don’t blog about it. It makes you look ignorant. Unfortunately Perez Hilton has made himself look ignorant more than once. This is sad because I once admired him. He used to do his research vigorously. It seems like Perez doesn’t care about the one thing that gave him his fame anymore. So to answer the question do I feel that the subject of politics and royal families be covered by main media only. The answer is yes. Most bloggers don’t have enough knowledge to understand the complexity of royal families and politics. Let me hear your thoughts on this in the comments below
