Was Madonna unjustly attacked by the media when she adopted her son?  email this discussion to a friend?

I personally think it was ridiculous the way the media stormed her and her family over the adoption of her son. They also made it out to be like she just went over and got him without any strings, but didn't bother to show you the truth behind what she's gone through to get the boy. Do you think she was attacked by the media, simply based on her celeb status?

Yes I think she was unjustly attacked. But I think if it was Angelina Jolie then there wouldn't have been such a stink.

Why? Cant Angelina Jolie adapt kid?...
Cant you adapt a kid?....
Without going through all these fuss!
Then, why only Madonna these people are up against?


myLot reputation of 91/100. starr4all (2179)  6 years ago

Anyone should be allowed to adopt kids without a fuss. I just think Angelina gets better press and that is the only reason she wouldn't.


myLot reputation of 83/100. rawpoet (1157)  6 years ago

Eventually the media will find out that Angelina Jolie isn't as innocent either. Just give it some time. I'm sure they're just waiting for her to screw up just like the rest of them.

Of course she was. It's the same with Britney Spears.

I say to leave these people alone! Grr!

I agree!

Madonna is just another human being with feelings just like you and me. Just because she got fame and money does not warrant an attack on her personal life. Has she done anything which calls for such misbehaviour from the media?

I agree with you, she was just trying to do what she thought was best, bear in mind that she may no longer be able to have children herself, due to her age, so it's good that she wanted to adopt a badly off child, the only problem I've got is that she lives in England, there are badly off children waiting for adoption here, so why go to another country to do it?


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)  6 years ago

True, but I think the difference is this child truly would have died. The babies in England have a better chance of surviving.

I think she was attacked because the child was black and she was white. Whether people want to say or not. the race factor is still big and strong in the USA. Even thou it shouldn't be.

I think the media is ridiculous! They are more important things going on than celebrities and their decisions. People need to learn to just leave them alone.

i think the way she was attacked was very wrong and the only reason it was on the front pages for weeks was because there was no real news to report

That's the media for ya! They will pick apart anything and go to any level to make someone look bad or totally twist the situation around. Madonna did a very kind thing by adopting a little boy, it's ridiculous that the media has to try to pick that apart too.


myLot reputation of 83/100. rawpoet (1157)  6 years ago

I second that!

I believe so that Madonna was attacked unjustly by the media. I dont think she committed a big crime that she deserves such criticisms. I think its the media itself that is descriminating the black baby. Its the people that put malice and descrimination on what she did. I think we have no righ to attack Madonna that way. In fact she will be giving a brighter life for that kid.

I do think it was terrible for the media to attack her about the adoption of her son. Celebrities seem to get attacked for a lot of things and it is not right. I am sure she had to go through the same adoption process that everyone else goes through regardless of their status but the media always thinks that celebs get off easy.


myLot reputation of 89/100. hockeygal4ever (5360)  6 years ago

Exactly and the funny part is, they don't attack politicians like they do celebs and we all know politicians use their status to get certain things!


myLot reputation of 81/100. Idlewild (4769)  6 years ago

Do we know for sure that Madonna DIDN'T get special treatment in her adoption, that she didn't make some kind of special "donation" to make things go smoothly? Didn't she agree to pay the father's family?

As for politicians, they are raked over the coals by media every day. Not to say that the pols don't sometimes deserve it, but I hear it every day in the news.

That's why many people don't want to run for office anymore, they don't like the endless media scrutiny. They crawl all over politicians' homes and offices the same way they do with celebrities.
