Is the media too intrusive in people's lives?

I believe that the media has crossed the boundary of decency countless times. This applies especially to paparazzi, who seem not to mind intruding into the lives of celebrities. I think that there is a point where the media is too intrusive because most of the time, the footage or quotes a photographer or journalist gets from a person can be taken out of context. Even though public figures do technically sign on for this type of exposure, it is to no one's benefit when someone's life is ruined by the press. I do not think it is ethical for the media to do this because they break into people's private lives, and that isn't right. Even though we as the public feel the need to know everything going on in our favorite celebrities' lives, I feel that celebrities should have more privacy rights. This is especially true for celebrities with families so that their children do not have to deal with the press pestering them and negatively affecting their childhood. So yes, the media is too intrusive, but as long as the never ending demand for celebrity exposure exists, this is not going to change for a very long time.
