Of Anthony, family troubles, unemployment and homelessness

I find it rather disingenuous that the Toronto Star put the story about Madonna's brother Anthony who is broke and homeless in its entertainment section AND puts Madonna's picture instead of his beside the story. Aside from anything to do with family squabbles that may have brought him there, the problem of homelessness and the circumstances that take someone from a good job to living under a bridge is a serious one. Presenting it in this fashion in entertainment sections of news media diminishes the urgency of the problem.
