It amazes me how someone who has been a walking punch line for the last 17 years suddenly gets the Jesus Christ treatment.
Who the hell cares.
CTV is in Russia with Obama... and CBC has the Hour...
Now that he has died the press has conveniently decided to ignore that he converted to Islam(not that that should have any meaning), but in the states its a not something that sparks great popularity.
The only thing I haven't heard is calls for a state funeral.
He might have been a great music star, but he NOT Princess Dianna and I getting more and more nausiated by the day by day accounts of how much illegal drugs he was taking and what a great benefactor he was to mankind and the world wasn't ready for him.
The best comment that I heard was would you let your young child sleep in the same bed with JACO with all the doors locked? I wouldn't.
He was a drug addict,
So are most of the Rolling Stones and probably ever other classic rock artist in existence. Nobody complains about them doing drugs!
No one has conclusively proved that.

Who cares?
Instead of poking at a dead man's inadequacies, why don't we talk about the fact that the media has spent the last couple of decades making mincemeat out of him and all of a sudden he's their darling because he's dead? What a bunch of hypocritical fuckheads. The guy is dead, let him rest in peace.
If that wasn't enough, the good Rev. Al Sharpton got on and actually had the gall to claim that Michael Jackson was the reason for the colour barrier being broken and Obama being elected.
I'm glad I watched it, otherwise I'd always have been under the misconception that it was Jackie Robinson who broke the colour barrier.
They should rename this whole debacle, from the Michael Jackson Memorial Service to the Hypocrits Ball.
What a bunch of self serving assholes.
"You would think AEG would say, 'We're the ones who did this, we could have had a private ceremony and not a major public memorial.' AEG is a big entertainment company. They're going to get international coverage and tons of publicity from this."
And just what kind of city effort are we talking here?
At least 1,400 police officers to keep the peace
Workers from the Department of Transportation to arrange and enforce street closures
Still more workers from the Department of Public Works to keep the area clean and operating
Fire and rescue specialists, just in case too many rabid fans moonwalk into one another out in the streets
If you're wondering if the city might decide to stand up for itself eventually, you're not alone. Zine says the city attorney's office is looking into the public outlay of funds and may take unspecified action; the city attorney's office didn't immediate comment when I contacted them this afternoon.
And just in case you still think it's disrespectful to the dead to be discussing money like this, a note: According to Zine—who got this information from an official at the Los Angeles Coliseum—the Jacksons briefly mulled doing their memorial there. And they also were considering charging for the tickets.
AEG is the promoter (?) for this funeral.

I can’t help wondering, by expressing himself, what this is going to do for the politician though………
Republican Representative Peter King is absolutely right. I agree the whole thing is grossly overblown and a waste of media bandwidth.

I'm sure he will be declaired a racist by the end of the week.
Much like the OJ murder trial, all the networks care about is ratings. Whether an item is newsworthy or not, if they can spin it and get the average, mindless, non-self-thinking American to watch the cannon-fodder, they will air it.
I guess that is one reason I have not watched main-stream media's news reports for the last few years. I skim the news on the web and here on CKA
