Michael and Farrah. Is it necessary that the media bombard us 24/7 with all the details? It's sad they are gone and will be missed but isn't enough enough or should the media continue for weeks and weeks of coverage?

The non-stop coverage is ridiculous, Roselyn. The news coverage of Iran has all but disappeared.

Enough is enough, I say. Yet, if this is what most TV viewers demand, the networks will continue to "report" on what sells advertising.

Well, Michael Jackson's memorial service was really nice. No outbursts, no riots, no interruptions with news spots about Sarah Palin.

I did watch the memorial service and enjoyed it.

I do think that the media replaying his daughter's broken-hearted statement over and over is sleazy.

But they're in it for the money and they have no class.

Pax!

I heard most of it since my wife and daughter had it on the tube...I saw that Al Sharpton was his usual self...full of B.S...I hadn't realized that Michael was the cause of no more racism in the world and his singing and dancing helped get a man of color elected as president. :lol:

I do agree that he was the greatest entertainer of all time and a great talent.

So like Sharpton to suddenly embrace the Jacksons and stand Michael on the level of a god-man. But he isn't the only one who distanced himself from Michael when it served his purpose. What hypocrits they are. And of course Sharpton's inuendo's were in blaming the white people. I think he can't accept not being white.

Sharpton's black?

Next you'll be telling us that Michael was black.

Is there no end to your prattle???

:mrgreen:
