Talk Show Host: That's not what Perez Hilton said.
Celebrity: That's because he's a Media Troll!

Get the Red Letter Media mug.a source of information that many take at face value. some truths are told, some are lies. im not saying all media lies to control us, but everyone has some sort of bias and the media does as well. learn to hear/read/watch the media and form your own conclusions, dont blindly follow and dont blindly reject because lets face it, none of us have first hand knowledge for everything.
