I have heard nothing on the news other than the (unfortunate) passing of Michaeal Jackson. Yes, he was a cultural icon, I suppose. But is his passing this significant....that all cable networks are going continious coverage on this story? Something is way wrong here. BTW don't tell me to change channels as I already have to some cooking show.

Don’t know how old you are, but before the cable mews channels, Elvis died in 1977. (I was 14.) All three broadcast networks covered it just like this.

There’s a major problem! Thousands are dying on the streets of Iran, and our country is obsessed with the death of a celebrity!
This is extremely disturbing! Does it take a major disaster on our own soil to make Americans care about something???

He is the leftist Reagan. A tragic life. It will be worse the next few days. Obama will give statement mourning his loss that rivals anything for the Iranian people. What can I say this is America and are press is driven by shallow narcissism.

Shepard Smith declared Jackson the ‘best known person on the planet’????? I expected better from FOX than wall-to-wall coverage of this freak performer’s death??????

It’s not just this country. This story is being covered wall-to-wall in every country in the world.
News isn’t always political.

FNC has preempted every show. ...including the straight news (Special Report). It's as if a President died. Shep Smith in full drama queen mode. ...appropriately enough.

He was a controversial person.
He was a mega-celebrity.
He passed suddenly and without warning.
I think people are probably introspecting on a lot of things. I used to like his music, then after the child abuse allegations it became hinky.
It just happened. It’s “new”...hence news.

I have no idea. Non-stop coverage. It is ridiculous. I had to turn FOX off.

Yes, but MARK SANFORD is the happiest of all about the wall to wall coverage...or it is a conspiracy by Obama so that he can pass CAP AND TRADE with Pelosi tomorrow, and heath care next week (tin foil hat firmly on).
