At 9 p.m. tonight, TVGN (which seems to have no website that this blogger could easily find) is airing a program called 'Heath Ledger: A Hollywood Tragedy.'
Less than five days after his death, he's already the subject of a hastily-made documentary-wanna be fit to air during the SAG awards.
The man has only just been laid in the ground. The cause of his death is still undetermined since the autopsy was "inconclusive," according to the AP. And they couldn't even wait a week before airing this program.
How incredibly ridiculous that the culture of celebrity is prompts the executives of this TV station to try to attract viewers and advertisers when the family has barely had a chance to grieve.
Programs like this are hardly an example of well-rounded journalism or story-telling. Nor is it remotely sympathetic.
