TMZ gets creative and misleading with a nasty headline about Shaq
If I had to pick one website to erase from existence forever, I would choose TMZ. Its primary goal is to make money by preying on celebrities, leeching on the public’s desire for gossip and rumors. TMZ serves no real purpose other than to ruin celebrities’ privacy and occasionally pimp Charlie Sheen. But yesterday it hit a new low.
Under the headline, “Shaq In Middle of Kidnapping, Robbery, Sex Tape Case,” TMZ shared a crime in which Shaq apparently has minimal (if any) involvement. He was interviewed by police, who did not list him as a suspect and apparently determined he had no involvement in the crime. The most damning piece of evidence against Shaq was the testimony of some sex tape-making, gangster-sounding dude who claimed to have a business relationship with Shaq and an affair with Shaq’s ex-wife. In other words, the police found that Shaq had no involvement in the crime.
Until the police find otherwise, TMZ should change its headline and story lead. Because everything about that scheisty story on that scheisty website is misleading.

Wow. Are you serious? Are you, supposedly a journalist, or wannabe journalist, actually claiming that the police are final arbiters of truth? !!!! That the police should dictate what journalists write? !!!! And having read that story, do you REALLY want to pretend that the situation doesn’t imply that a crime might have been committed as Shaq’s behest? !!!!!! Do you REALLY mean to claim that if the police don’t arrest somebody, it means that they are innocent of any wrongdoing whatsoever? Especially when that someone is a big wheel like Shaq? Seriously? Are you really so naive, or are you just pretending to be?
I don’t know whether Shaq actually was involved with this situation or not, but I think you have to be pretty naive to think, as you seem to do, that’s it’s impossible that Shaq could be involved in any gangland activities. You sound like a child whose icon just got some dirt on it. Perhaps you also think that Frank Sinatra was a sweet lil angel? The music industry, which Shaq is involved in, and gangland are notoriously connected, and you must be aware of that.
