Alec Baldwin Slams Tabloid Media For Ruining Lives.Hollywood actor ALEC BALDWIN has hit out at the tabloid media, accusing the industry of deliberately ruining people's lives.The Departed star has divided public opinion after a voicemail he left for his daughter Ireland, in which he verbally chastises the 11-year-old and calls his ex-wife Basinger "a thoughtless pain in the ass", was leaked on the internet last week (ends20Apr07). And Baldwin finds it difficult to understand how someone can purposefully set out to wreck the personal life of somebody they don't know.In a pre-taped appearance on US TV show The View, which aired this morning (27Apr07), Baldwin said, "The guy that's responsible for this tape coming out - I called some friends of mine in LA and said, 'What's his story?' And they told me his story, what he's all about, where he's coming from, what are his secrets."You find out that everybody who works in tabloid media are people who are filled with self-hatred and shame and the way that they manage those feelings is they destroy the lives of other people and reveal your secrets."I couldn't get over how they could beat you all day long."
