In terms of Miley Cyrus, isn't it the news media's fault for tainting her image. If it was any other teen girl parading around in her underwear, people would probably just say she's a little on the sleazy side and take it with a grain of salt. Those photos of her leaked online because someone hacked her iPhone and put them there. Then the news and gossip sites went wild. Sure she needs to stay a role model, and maybe shouldn't do these things at all, but if it wasn't for people freaking out over it, it wouldn't be in the news or in word of mouth; in turn, kids wouldn't even know about that side of her. I'm not trying to defend her, I'm just saying someone that could've been a decent role model via her TV show character turned into a shitty one via her private life which was ultimately invaded. Is that entirely fair?
