The nature of journalism is to get the scoop, regardless of what the subject wants or thinks or what we want or think, because there are enough people out there that do want to know and they're not particularly concerned, privately, about the state of the subject. Privacy is a good thing, but when you enter the public arena, you've implicitly agreed to become public property, you know your life will never be private again, the onus is on you to protect yourself and insulate yourself from public intrusion. If she's good at dodging the probing, she can hold them off long enough for people to lose interest and then she can ride off into the sunset. Fame is a faustian contract, they know the price is public scrutiny forever, but they enter into it willingly, knowing the long term consequences. Im not interested in Meg White, but many others are and while that interest is there she's going to be a target of journalists. Journalists are asking, thats what they do. Meg White is saying no. It feels like a non-issue to me.
