Reply #40: It's a shot at the media, not MJ.

[Feron]

While MJ's death is newsworthy, the media is going to push aside more important news just to report on and sent tributes to a dead celebrity.

MJ was a talented and influential man in my generation. But his death shouldn't eclipse issues like healthcare and Iran. But it will in the tabloid media.

A governor going AWOL for an international booty call is now history. Vitter is probably cursing his luck right now.
