Disgusted that TMZ is streaming live video from Heath Ledgers Viewing....?

I find it completly inappropriate and disgusting. Do reporters have no respect anymore?? What are they hoping to get a shot of?? His grieving friends and family in their darkest hour???

Thoughts?!

Update:

I agree that it is horrible for protesters to be picketing his funeral...honestly what has this world come too!? I'm ashamed

Update 2:

It appears that the stream has been removed by TMZ

Update 3:

Scott i did not read that anywhere..and the link you supplied only takes me to a site that talks about a possible leathl combo of drugs

    Its sbsolutely heartbreaking. I couldnt even watch it without wanting to cry. Look at what the media has succumb to. A man cant die without people speculating if he was on drugs, trying to get his picture, harass his ex-lover, daughter. This is horrible.

    I just read the latest report from CNN which was simultaniuosly brodcasted in the New York Time databank and should be front page news tomorrow. Apparently the Medical Examiners report was released to the family today. It showed that there was no trace of illegal substances in Heath Ledger's body and there was only a small trace of 2 drugs that were found in his room, thus ruling out overdose. The report goes on to state that "it appears Mr Ledger suffered a mild stroke that rendered him unconcious". They are now reporting that it was complications resulting from the stroke that caused Heath Ledger's death. They have not released any details beyond what I have just shared with you, however I am sure it will be well known with in the hour. In today's society where journalism revolves around a jumble of half truths, I think the media has shown alot of class when dealing with this sensitive subject. I have read many reports speculating that "drugs may be a factor" however with each report came a disclaimer stating no evidence could support that theory. I appreciate the respect the media has shown to the family and friends of Heath Ledger and the acknoledgment of his vast accomplishments as an actor

    TMZ is an internet tabloid. They're upscale paparazzi. The paps have no morals, they just want to make a buck. At least the camera isn't on Heath Ledger's body. They're just trying to catch celebs going into the building. Granted that's still pretty foul to get mourners on camera, but it's more dispicable to have some religious a-holes protesting his funeral because he played a gay man in a MOVIE. Who the hell protests a funeral? That's asinine.

    Ahh, I'm sorry. What exactly are they showing?

    I saw on tv of them carrying Heath out into the ambulance.. I couldn't believe they actually did that. =/ Just horrible. Absolutely no respect for anyone. It's all about the money isn't it.

    I agree. I saw that this morning too!They have no morals or respect anymore. I swear they would run Britney Spears off the road and kill her just to sell Pictures and a Story. It's sick.

    Why isn't this illegal!? Why aren't these paps getting arrested?! Isn't this considered Stalking?!!

    media's vicious like that, if there's a story to be had, they will get it. The best you can do is just not buy into it or anything.

    TMZ is just disgusting period. As far as I'm concerned, they are the lowest of the low when it comes to the gutter press/gossip media. All of TMZ's actions remind me of the lyrics from the 1982 Don Henley/Eagles song, Dirty Laundry.

    I make my living off the evening news

    Just give me something-something I can use

    People love it when you lose,

    They love dirty laundry

    Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here

    I just have to look good, I dont have to be clear

    Come and whisper in my ear

    Give us dirty laundry

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em all around

    We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who

    Comes on at five

    She can tell you bout the plane crash with a gleam

    In her eye

    Its interesting when people die-

    Give us dirty laundry

    Can we film the operation?

    Is the head dead yet?

    You know, the boys in the newsroom got a

    Running bet

    Get the widow on the set!

    We need dirty laundry

    You dont really need to find out whats going on

    You dont really want to know just how far its gone

    Just leave well enough alone

    Eat your dirty laundry

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre up

    Kick em when theyre down

    Kick em when theyre stiff

    Kick em all around

    Dirty little secrets

    Dirty little lies

    We got our dirty little fingers in everybodys pie

    We love to cut you down to size

    We love dirty laundry

    We can do the innuendo

    We can dance and sing

    When its said and done we havent told you a thing

    We all know that crap is king

    Give us dirty laundry!

    ----

    maybe they should use this song as their theme. TMZ SUX!
