ENOUGH with the 24/7 news cycle about Michael Jackson


Holy Mother of God, Please make it stop.



author: Goombah


I’m about to lose my freaking mind with this non stop over the top reporting of Michael Jackson’s death.

Yes it is a tragic end to a sad story and I sincerely feel sorry for him, his family and most of all his children. No argument from me that Michael was one of the greatest entertainers of all time and has earned his place in showbiz history but enough already!!!

Isn’t this the same media that didn’t give a dam about being fair and balanced when Michael was alive? The same media that treated him like a freak show and never gave him the benefit of the doubt when he was accused of being a pedophile?

The same media that continues to put a spotlight on every wacko fan without a life that have no limits embarrassing themselves with this spectacle that has now crossed the line into the bizarre.

Where are these people when returning war heroes are coming home? Would we ever see this same passion to stand in line for hours when it comes to public service?

Isn’t it time to move on and put this story into its proper perspective and report REAL news that affect the lives of people? Maybe the story behind the story is the media’s deteriorating quality that has rendered it’s reporting of hard news impotent..

I’m not diminishing the death of Michael Jackson or his importance to pop culture but this over reaction now borders on the obscene.

Hi brideout
Any friend of Rebecca is a friend of mine.
Joe Jackson is really disgusting, in fact he reminds me of a pimp. Is it any wonder Michael had so many problems.
Thank God we seem to have a bit of a rest from the ridiculous over-coverage, my only fear is another news cycle will begin when we find out he was a walking pharmacy....
P.S Love your blog and you are welcome to join the Rappack anytime you want. Just send a request to my email. Nice meeting you.
