New York Post Page 6 Scandal. Can someone please explain to me
why anyone should care.
I live overseas and my friends are kind of baffled as to why this is such a big story.
I mean, there isn't this much coverage when scrub lies and crimes are exposed. Why is it about a gossip columnist that gets so much coverage?

1. It's about ron burkle, who is trying to cover up a very, very large
scandal about his interest in girls that are a bit too young.

It's not necessarily about the writer.... it's about burkle and his lame attempts to be a power broker.

3. All I can tell you is
we saw it on CNN International and they said it's been front page of the NY Times 2 days in a row.
Apparantly this guy at the Post has been suspended.

4. here's a link:
you can google "ron burkle scandal" for more.

in a nutshell, the gossip columnist extorted people to keep them out of his column.
