I’ve had news channels for the past hour or so and all they are showing is the Santa Maria courthouse doors and losers Michael Jackson supporters milling around in the street, gabbing over their invitations to Neverland.
Funny how when there are “real” public issues, such as government abuses, they don’t usually draw demonstrators or extended media coverage.
Life in celebrity-struck America.
UPDATE: Departing Jackson motorcade requires a small army of security personnel and policeman (who should out on the beat) to clear the roadway of idiots fans mobbing the road. A real circus.
UPDATE: Jackson SUV speeds to ranch for party with fans.
UPDATE: Jackson SUV passes several cars and trucks on highway. Developing . . . .
Yeah, I heard one of the talking news wobbly heads commenting to another wobbly talking head “It’s incredible isn’t it, the large, uh, uh… entourage Michael Jackson has with him wherever he goes!” “That’s right, wobbly talking head 1, it certainly is!”
Sheesh!
Thank goodness for Tivo. I watched an episode of The Daily Show while waiting for the news to come back on the 24 hour news channels.
Disgusting.
CNN had exclusive breaking news about the military launching an investigation into soldier misconduct against Iraqi prisoners. Their Pentagon correspondant had three words out of her mouth before they interrupted her to show Michael Jackson leave the courtroom to go to the bathroom.
24-hour cable news is everything that’s wrong with news.
