Should celebrities be publicized and given excessive media coverage when they areportraying a bad image?

You mean like Charlie Sheen? I think if they report on him once, that's plenty. They should not promote his bad and dangerous behavior just to get the story first, or for ratings. But, if you take away their right to do so, you take away freedom of speech, which is what we are enjoying right here on YA. We still have freedom of speech, but it will disappear one day.
