What is up with Fox News & Michael Jackson Coverage? (Vanity)
Bushwon | 6/26/2009 | Bushwon

Is anyone else irritated with the Fox coverage of Michael Jackson--it is like MJ all day everyday. So much for fair and balanced--Pretty much everyone is covering MJ on CNN, MSNBC, CNN Headlines, E, and BET.

Maybe it is just when I happened to tune in to Fox TV, but when I did, Fox wasn't saying much today about Cap & Tax at all (more than halfway into the show, Hannity is supposed to to discuss it tho only 1/3 show left--for now it he is chatting with Geraldo about Jackson).

So much for alternative TV media coverage?! Thank God for internet and radio :)

Anyone else irritated? Thots on why they are going A-political even today, day of passage of one of the most sweeping pieces of legislation ever?

I wonder had Fox had offered more coverage of Congress instead of Michael, would the vote have been different?

Yes, way fed up.

Getting caught up on my reading. FNC takes us for granted since they have no competition.

Glenn Beck was a welcome relief from the MJathon these past 24 hrs. Talked about the Cap & Tax monstrosity and the criminals who are going to be financially benefitting from it. Michael Jackson was a side note.

But yeah, Jacko has been dominating the coverage on every other FNC show. ...although I missed Special Report today, so I can’t speak for that one.

So far, Hannity has devoted his whole show to this pervert.

MJ is being spun as some kind of "victim" of his success....sick

Hannity will lose himself quite a number of viewers over this Jackson orgy.

I stand corrected, Beck was the exception. As always, he was excellent. But here it is 45 min, into Hannity, and he is stiilll talking about MIchael Jackson. I mean it would be different if no one else was covering this, but it is everywhere on Cable; only place to find Crap & Tax was on CSPAN.

Oh, and the coverage is pretty close to glowing!

Why watch. Fox has gone down the drain and I rarely watch it anymore.

I e-mailed Fox News hours ago about reporting on the upcomming HR 2454 Cap & Trade bill instead of being an entertainment channel with Michael Jackson. Guess they don’t care. Looks like we may have to picket Fox News now. My ancestors fought in the Revolutionary War & now we need to gather together to fight for the freedoms they gave their lives for.

Personally, I don’t shive a git about Michael Jackson. What’s happening to America right now is my number one concern. I also do not watch American Idol. Don’t care.

I tuned out Fox yesterday. The Jacksonathon has become really boring and very repetitive.

It’s a conspiracy! Hahahahahahahahahaha!

Besides, the Prez drew a sigh of relief when no one mentioned his name or his words.

Hey, get over it, MJ is dead ~ people will move on into tomorrow and have a great weekend anyway.

Michael won't.

Good for Glenn.

Even Neil Cavuto was all Jackson all the time today.

I turned off the TV in disgust and took up a good book instead.

The Friends started at 5 a.m. today for Michael Jackson...and even Sean is on the bandwagon. Rev. Al is up next—click.
