Douchebag

To: Philip Kim
Us Weekly Magazine

Mr. Kim,

If you didn’t get the interview you needed to write a valid interview, perhaps you should have asked better questions. And if you were unable to impress your editors with the interview you wrote, maybe a trip back to Journalism school is needed.

Is it not enough, anymore, in today’s celebrity magazine society to just write the facts as they stand and are given? Must writers for weekly publications bastardize the words of talented, busy actors to make for better copy? It seems to me that if you wrote the interview, as given to you by Mr. Burke, then there would have been enough positive information to write about. No need to twist the words of people to make it more interesting. He is a talent and intellectual actor; I am sure there was enough conversation for you to write a great article without bastardizing his words.

To twist something, to bastardize someone words, simply for a more salacious article is showing a lack of character on both you and your magazines part.

While I would like to thank you for your time, I doubt you gave the same courtesy to Mr. Burke when you bastardized his words.
