TMZ honcho Harvey Levin has built a mini-empire on his hyper-aggressive approach to the most mundane of celebrity news, breaking significant national stories (Donald Sterling's racist rant; the Beyonce elevator fight video) in the process.
But now Levin and his Los Angeles-based enterprise are getting the harsh media spotlight turned on them — and Harvey's not happy about it. Sources tell THR that The New Yorker is finalizing its own aggressive exposé — more than a year in the works — about the unorthodox reporting tactics of the Warner Bros.-owned TMZ and its controversial founder.
Good! It is about time that a respectable mag speaks out about the charlatan mags that are in the business of brainwashing public opinion. They should also go after 'Daily Mail' and 'The Star' and 'Hollywood Life' and 'The National Enquirer' while they are at it. They are all known to 'brainwash' people by presenting untruths. But they do not realize that ignorant people actually believe the stuff they report, when there are reliable sources that would indicate otherwise. Also, Society needs to get a bit smarter and not rely on such 'sensationalized' BS.
