It's really childish and inappropriate. SOURCES SAY: Secret Sources SAY: My Sauce SAYS:

I mean, it's all ridiculous and shows how far we have devolved into teenage rumor mongering as a society.

Back in the 50's, you didn't see SECRET SOURCES making comments in the local papers about how Shug Jordan mercilessly beat his wife constantly.

You didn't see them airing dirty laundry about how she had to go hide with her parents in Augusta, Ga., all the time to escape his rage.

There was not talk about how she was secretly shuttled over to a hospital in Columbus, Ga., every time Shuggie went a little too far with his loving corrections to her behavior.

Why? Because that was their fricking business and that was respected by fine and upstanding newsmen of the day. Men were men and you didn't talk out of turn like a bitch.

You somehow jumped the shark from raging about reporters and their sources to bitching that men aren't able to beat their spouses in private anymore... WTAF?
