The Press, is being despicable. (see The New York Times today) Disgusting, even.
Yes, public figures are forcibly under a microscope. Why are they examined so closely? Because they are famous and the press makes a lot money off them. They also have a responsibility to give us more information if they are having a problem that will effect us, the people, in a meaningful way.
They are NOT responsible to the public about private family members or themselves coping with an ongoing health issue that is life threatening. Beyond disclosing what Mr. Jobs has already (and we do know about his illness,) why does he have to tell us if he is going to live or die?
Would you berate your grandmother about her possible death just to know if she left you money in her will?
Please.
Is it because Apple share holders might lose some money? Come on, you can’t be serious. His life is in question!
LEAVE HIM ALONE.
I too am a cancer survivor, by the way.
