Even now, after it is said-and-done, look at the homepage. | |

This would also be a good time to look at how Time Warners network handled this. This would be a good assessment of their network to show thaat caps do nothing for congestion when everyone piles on at once. To the person below...I was just ranting because I was sick of hearing about a "pop" star that is being portayed as a great humanitarian.

| Re: I will admit ... Who said anything about gov't mandating priorities?
And what more was he than a "pop" star?
If your priority is Michael Jackson at a time when we're our soldiers are involved in a war on 2 fronts, and North Korea is trying to instigate a 3rd front, all while we're attempting to claw our way out of a recession/depression...then thats actually pretty freakin sad!~

So yet another celebrity whose last big hit was 20 years ago dies of a drug overdose. Exactly how is this "news"? If his private life wasn't so bizarre, I doubt he'd get this type of attention.
What really annoys me about this was how it took 100% of the attention of the world press away from Iran, at a time when world scrutiny may do some good. The ruling clergy there may be brutes, but they have asperations of portraying themselves as a legitimate government, and videos of peaceful protestors being shot in the streets don't help their cause. But the program directors at the news channels thought it more important to bring us Michael 24x7 instead. I'll cringe the next time I hear one of their ads proclaim them to be "The Place for Politics". More likely "The Place for dimwitted National Enquirer Readers".
I even heard one of MSBNC's on-air personalities dismiss complaints on a radio talk show with the comment "you don't like it? why don't you go spend time reading the Stimulous Bill instead?". 'talk about insulting your regular audience. | |

1 edit | Re: I will admit ... News used to be something that wasn't driven so much by profit. The networks provided it as a "obligation" to their viewers. Since cable "news" has become popular, "news" is now thought of as a profit machine. Thus, good reporting dies and is replaced by popular "reporting". Fox made a mint off this, though they don't really report, but regurgitate other sources and discuss and spin it in a way that appeals to their wacko viewers. | |

The go from one big sensational story to the other and use politics as the filler. They only care about one thing, ratings. | |

CNN is hoping for another Mideast war or a Latin American war(Honduras, Venezuela, Nicaragua) to cover, so they can get back some of their viewers and advertisers.
Even the trouble in Iran over the election did nothing for them since the Iranian gov't wouldn't let the reporters leave their offices.

No...it's not. That kid's father (who is low life) told his kid to say those thing for money. Period. The kid, now an adult, wants to recant...but cannot because of the legal issues it would cause for him. Remember, He got a BUNCH a money on a lie. The Jacksons could come after him legally. There is even a question of extortion......... | |
