Why is the LEAD STORY on Fox still Michael Jackson???? (Vanity)

I am referring to the TV, not the website. How can they possibly justify this coverage?

Surely they cannot be talking to the average Joe on the street, as nobody I know cares one whit about this.

Bread and circuses.

Rupert Murdoch is going to ride this horse into the ground and beyond... :)

[Red in Blue PA]

I believe that the 1st channel to bump this coverage would see a boost in ratings.

[AlaskaErik]

I’m sure Greta on FOX and Nancy on CNN will run with this for days, it not weeks.

[ArtyFO]

Libs like Shep Smith keep running the stories cause that’s who they admire.

[BlueStateBlues]

This is the big news for the crowds milling. The only good thing to come out of this nonstop coverege might be a crackdown on drug use and abuse of pharm-killers. For that alone I hope the coverage continues.

Meanwhile....in other news....a test missile was launched in California. (something may be brewing with Norks?)

As much as I hate to say it, FOX has bills to pay also. If you’re looking for someone to blame, look in the mirror (or across the street at your neighbor).

I get my news on FR and never watched the alphabt news because they’re liberal..and Fox has pretty much jumped the shark.

[Alex Murphy]

For the same reason that “Maxim hottie” stories are featured on the Fox News website daily.

NOBODY I KNOW watches this nonsense!

Nobody.

bttt

[Yosemitest]

It's a useful crisis Obama and the Democrats and their minions in the MSM are using to keep our eyes off of what's happening in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

[Red in Blue PA]

Hey now, that’s a legitimate diversion.

[BigSkyFreeper]

It’s the kind of news Shep is there to cover. You really should be angry when people like Hannity diverges from the political path to cover such stories on his show. Glenn Beck never covered it, and why should he? There’s enough hours in the day for others to cover that stuff.

[1rudeboy]

Someone’s watching it. Just sayin’.

When I first heard that a thin, black guy, who was from the Chicago area, who was a drug addict, who was close to the Nation of Islam, and who apparently had rather odd sexual predilections had died of a drug overdoes in a big house, I was surprised that his first name was Michael.
