Is this just the media,or is it really the focus of the American public? My wife insists on turning on the Today show in the morning, so I caught a few minutes of the pedophile worship while waiting for my coffee this morning. They had 3 Matt Lauer on-site "and this was Michael's special molestation room!!" segments in about 15 minutes. Just pathetic. As to your question, yes I think it's the media. No one is clamoring for all this nonsense, but sadly, millions of people will watch any crap they can find on TV.

You ever look at the "Top 10" viewed stories on CNN.com (other "news" sites have similar)? Scandals and celebrities dominate, while world affairs give a spattered showing, if they are new and exciting. Media will always give what sells.
Jim in Anchorage Posted July 3, 2009 Author Posted July 3, 2009 perfect,but their ratings show it. Why watch the "nightly news" when I can watch Oprah?
taterhill Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 People do not realize...the Michael Jackson they loved died 18 years ago....
Spun Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 unfortunately the latter (look at who our president is) And don't forget our last one. And the one before. And some of the failed nominees have also been some gems.
Chandler#81 Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 Iran was SO last week. Yeah, but North Korea begining to threaten our shores, U.S. military off the streets in Iraq, Iraq begining negotiations to sell their HUGE chache of oil on a global market through democratic leadership and U.S. military ON THE 'STREETS' in Afghanistan is very much today! I think I'm more disgusted and disappointed in the media now -serving the weak minded, than any time in the last 5 years.
Wooderson Posted July 3, 2009 Posted July 3, 2009 I wish I had a hidden chamber inside my closet, within my password coded bedroom so that I had somewhere to hide my special possessions...you know, priceless items, jewelry, children, etc...
