MIchael Jackson coverage done to death

I'm not a fan so maybe I'm prejudiced, but the media is going bananas over Michael Jackson and the unseemly guessing about the nature of his passing. Iran, Iraq, even the reversal on Sotomayor (a big leftist defeat to much of the MSM) holds not a candle to the 24/7 speculation about just how aberrational Jackson's life, especially in the end, had become. It's sickening.

Reality check. This is what people obviously want. This is the level of their interest in current events. So, I can hardly blame MSNBC, CNN and the netorks. We are so far past responsible journalism and the need for the public to know events that truly drive the world, that I am just some old fart shouting out about our inadequate media. So move along. Nothing to see here.
