Prepare for the next OJ---Michael Jackson trial will dominate TV media now

[frank frankly]

I am always, always glad to see pedophiles arrested and convicted. It is a huge problem that receives little attention. Michael Jackson has long been shown to be a pedophile and I hope justice is served. That said, I will personally pay 0% attention to the entire story. Like the OJ trial, I look it as an opportunity to gain 10 hours/week on most Americans.

But the most important effect of this developing circus is that this will take much of the attention off Iraq and BushCo's other numerous offenses.

The timing may not have been deliberate, but it could not be better for the RW Machine and the tabloid (mainstream) media.

Mark Fuherman talking about the case on O'Really and Johnny Boy on Larry King as well.

2. Not so fast…

Let's not forget the Robert Blake trial.

3. Finally!

Someone is really thinking here! Thank you for this post. JackO needs some type of help and I'm not sure what that help entails (psychiatry, reforming, counseling, brink time etc.)

But that story is peanuts compared to what dimwit, the dimwit administration and Republican Congress of dimwits have gotten this country into.

4. this is going to be their shining moment to be whores

times like this are when I am happy to no longer even own a television.

it will be so fucking stupid and endless. and somehow the larger issue of pedophiles will receive no examination.

the media is so completely awful right now, it is almost a thing of beauty.

5. Kobe, Scott, Martha take a number

Maybe Court TV should just set up a separate celebrity trial network and then the other cable channels could just leave us alone.

6. Just knowing that it is helping people to be mindless....

makes me sick. Why is it so entertaining to watch someone sick get arrested? Just goes to show you how too much money and power will make you crazy. I guess I don't have to worry.
