cnn comments and blog reviews

fan reaction:

well i never really knew about who tiger woods was or is as a person so i don't really have any reaction to this. its like whatever to me because i honestly don't care. most celebrities end up having problems in marriage because someone decides to cheat or do drugs or something stupid. i'm over it.

reporter reaction:

looking at it as a reporter i would agree that while he did make a mistake, he did seem to get on top of the mistake and try the best he could to make it right. he very clearly stated what he did wrong and what he was going to do to try to make it better the next time around. i think he truly showed that he does feel bad about his actions.

usa today response

i think that its sad that the newspaper industries are afraid of closing. but i also think that newspapers are very outdated and as the economy grows, we get better technology. maybe its time for newspapers to be done with their wave of news. i think the more advanced technology gets within the next few years, newspapers will end up being removed from everything completely.
