I’ve always felt those who make serious allegations should be compelled to do so through the police/courts. There should be regulations stopping mainstream media reporting on it until it has been investigated. The fact is, a celebrity who has been merely accused publicly has a reputation left in tatters - no matter the outcome. Allegations and insinuations have the power to destroy lives; the media should be held at bay in such occasions in my opinion. If a celebrity is found guilty of a crime they deserve all the hell coming their way - no sympathy. But until there’s more than just TV docs and tabloid headlines, no one should judge someone as guilty. #RussellBrand

I’m old enough to remember when people became outraged at Mark Burnett but still watched the ‘The Voice’ & ‘Survivor’ cursed Jeff Zucker for enabling the myth of Trump as a ‘billionaire’ and watched Rick Santorum on CNN. We’re addicted to the fast food of mass media and crap TV.
