NO MORE NEWS after Michael Jackson?

Posted by FactReal on June 26, 2009

Why are CNN, FoxNews; MSNBC, etc., etc., on a 24-cycle dedicated to Michael Jackson? 
Has the “Fairness” Doctrine arrived?
Oh, yes, they interrupted this morning to show Obama and Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel press conference.  Then they went back Michael Jackson.
With so many critical issues affecting us that could change our future:
-Cap & Trade:  the largest tax in U.S. history just passed in the House based on the hoax of Man-made Global Warming
-Iranians being butchered by a criminal regime
-North Korean nuclear threat
-Health care reform that will control our lives
-NEW: Honduras in flames

Do you see something wrong here?

Who would’ve said Phase 1 of the Fairness Doctrine (Censorship) was going to be called “Michael Jackson”

    1. It just shows how capricious the public’s attention is. Yesterday demonstrator numbers had dropped, it seemed as if the brutality was finally dissuading everyone. So they needed all the support they could get, then MJ died and everything stops for a celebrity. One who’d admittedly had a profound cultural impact, but really hadn’t been relevant for the last 20 years.

      Iran’s government and clerical elite must be rubbing their hands with megalomaniacal zeal that the death of an African American, who’d bleached his black skin white, captured the world’s attention away from them. At least the Iran election went back to trending on twitter today.
