Media coverage of Justin Timberlake’s drunk driving

The attempt to bring him down

Chris CuomoShe calls on the media to stop being obsessed with Justin Timberlake‘s drunk driving arrest…and says it’s part of our love of negativity…in this case, it’s about bringing down a major star.

Chris appeared on TMZ Live on Friday and had a lot to say about the arrest… Not only does Chris live near the city where Timberlake was arrested, but he also offers JT a lot of support.

The NewsNation host tells us he knows he can’t tell other media what they should and shouldn’t report… but he thinks the degree to which many rely on JT’s arrest on Monday has gone way too far.

Chris says the reporters descended on his town – even though most don’t cover drunk driving – only because Justin is an easy target who draws an audience.

Chris is adamant that denigrating people is not unique to the world of celebrity. He believes that this practice has infected society as a whole, especially the world of politics.

Chris quickly warns: “We don’t know if Justin was driving drunk. At this point, these are just allegations.”

Bottom line: Chris says we all need to take a long look in the mirror – and stop focusing on the negative before it’s too late.
