Oh come on! None of us put any value on life. How much do we give to charity? Almost nothing. We would rather buy computer games , clothes, etc etc rather than stop starving in other countries.

I think the "disgust" is directed at the "soccer chiefs" who withheld the information - not at the player who lost his child.

I agree though that tabloids also tend to withhold information that would help the reader to better understand the full situation (the story as it is would indeed be disgusting - but with these kind of papers you often have the feeling that the story might be somewhat "imcomplete")

Freedom of the Press. Sometimes you got to love them, some times you want to hate them.

Tabloids are the worst form of yellow journalism that is massed produced for the willing audience.
