Opinion Piece


What is your opinion on tabloids?
     I believe that tabloids are a good thing because it gives people a job, its entertaining and most people know its not true. Tabloids create many jobs in the working world like paparazzi, publishers, and writers.  Tabloids can be very entertaining and funny which may brighten someones day. The only down fall is that it can ruin celebrities lives , but most people know that they are fate and made up to grab readers.
