Sorry... Michael Jackson is *NOT* over-reported. He's a "music legend," known world-wide, escaped prosecution once and continues to thumb his nose at the pending trial by hosting children at his ranch for the holidays. Success or failure in this prosecution will tell us so much about the culture war, jury trials, protection for celebrities... this is far bigger than O.J.

Peterson certainly *was* over-reported. And then some. Oh, what happened to the Memo-gate/Rathergate report? Anyone know?

I can't say I'm too horrified by the tsunami thing and the coverage level. It happened. It was a shock. Disasters happen all the time. It wasn't nearly as bad as it might've been say as if a 9.0 quake hit Mexico City, L.A. or other high population area.

There's no continuing "breaking news" except UN and others saying how bad America is for only giving $15 million, now $35 million, for relief and, of course, we didn't gift to them and install early warning for them and so forth...

Clean up will happen, aide is flowing from gov'ts, Salvation Army and others are there, no human hand was behind this but human hubris (willful lack of warning system) was a factor... you live or vacation on the water you have to expect this *can* / *might* happen. Their systems of gov't failed them in the most horrible way.

It's not like a meteor fell out of the sky or some insane posse rammed airliners into these folks. It's sad, even TRAGIC (proper use of the most overused term in media today) but life goes on and so should Media coverage.
