Good Morning America

It does feel like Disney can get much more renting out the studios, which had been the original plan when the industry was a lot less conglomerated but over time it just became an ABC-exclusive space.

 

It also didn't help at all that Times Square was pedestrianized so you're not getting an audience stuck in one NYPD-corralled place, but they're wandering and exploring the space and without traffic, you no longer get a sense that it's in the middle of a city, but like WCCO/Nicolet Mall, it's crowded at certain times, empty at others.

I just hope the quality doesn't become the same as GMA Weekend

Legitimate news outlets are beginning to question why Michael Strahan has been absent for two weeks from GMA and Fox NFL Sunday regardless of his jobs citing personal reasons.

I was just wondering this yesterday because he wasn’t on NFL Sunday either. It could be any number of reasonable things but nonetheless I'm

hoping all is well.

[mrschimpf 1864]

I'm of the mind that as long as things are okay for him it's none of our business, and we should just let hosts take breaks when they need them.

 

The age of social media where everyone is required to check in daily because otherwise Deadline and The Sun will harass their management as to why is so damaging to privacy.

[nycnewsjunkie 1257]

This is the kind of thing most people wouldn’t have even cared about if there weren’t predatory outlets that drew attention to it. I don’t understand the tabloid fixation with this kind of stuff; if Strahan is dealing w/ something in private, leave him alone and give him a break.

[MorningNews 1224]

He, like anyone else, definitely deserves his privacy no doubt. But I’m not surprised some people are curious of his absence, he’s an anchor on the most popular morning show and NFL Sunday.

Honestly, posting rumormongering stories like "why is so-and-so not at work" calls into question the status of being a "legitimate" news outlet. Even as a public figure, some things are no one's business unless and until someone feels they want to share.

I think this is an industry problem today. One or two asks a question or is upset about something and media coverage ballons the matter into a larger issue than it really is.

Oh my gosh yes. The mining of social media for the most insignificant issue and portraying it as a “big deal” is really a problem. 
 

I’m not even knocking the use of some social media content in the news. God knows there are moments the world is heavy enough that a cute or “bubblegum” story helps lighten the load. Even then, moderation is key. 
 

But why someone is away from their job, or if they look different, or whatever along those lines…that’s not a story. Even public figures have private lives.

Simple: it gets clicks.

[Geoffrey 728]

I disagree somewhat. These are public people. They have regular schedules and when they're missing, the public notices. As far as I can tell, the stories aren't reporting on any rumors or making things up, just sharing publicly seen details with some requests for comment. 

 

If Strahan wants to keep what's happening private, hopefully he can do that. So far, these stories are not invading his privacy.

 

And I hope things turn out OK.

This is the same show that just did a full blown out celebration of an anchor’s bachelorette party and wedding.
 

Michael is entitled to his privacy but you can’t stop people from asking questions. Sadly there are different expectations of “privacy” for someone in a public profession.

People asking questions does not require any news outlet do the same. People noticing someone is gone does not

mean it’s newsworthy, particularly the often salacious way it’s portrayed. It needn’t actually spread a specific rumor to be clearly invasive.

 

Yes, they covered the bachelorette party, because she chose to share that. She also chose to share details of her medical diagnosis some time back. 
 

We would, as a society, be better served by observing the mind-your-own-business approach.

Both are very fair points. It's hard to be a public figure who'se job gets into peoples personal lives, and then demand absolute privacy with your own.

 

But even still, there is also a line between what you choose to share and what you choose to keep private, Robin's Bachelorette party was also my go to example.
