I often wonder if stories like this cease being actual news when it's obvious that the principal involved is working through a mental health issue.

In other words, the first story was obviously newsworthy, but subsequent stories are simply driving home the point that we already get....that is that JP is ill and in need of care.

It seems to do no good, and probably can't be considered "newsworthy" to give a blow by blow account of a mentally ill persons trials and tribulations on the road to wellness.

Some may say that it is news......and it may be if you're a fan of TMZ or X-17. Neither of those orgainzations are taken seriously by anybody other than those who also feel News of the World and the National Enquirer report serious and worthwhile stories.

JP is ill, we get it (we got it the first time).

When he's better, that will be another news story.
In the meantime, each time he displays the fact that he's ill (we already know that's the issue) it doesn't merit a new thread on the Magic Caf� or the Genii forum.
