Police brutality in Miami,Bombings , War, and CNN has Michael Jackson
surrender/arrest extravaganza! MSNBC too!

Police are busting protestors heads in Miami, a bomb blastin Istanbul, plus the senseless loss of life in Iraq and the big newmedia outlets are focusing on a Santa Barbara airport for the arrival of big bad Michael Jackson.

Granted the charges against Jackson are serious but there are more pressing matters going on RIGHT NOW all over the globe.

I cant beleive that the news media isnt focusing on the violence going on right now in the US and around the world, but instead they are spotlighting another sex issue.

3. How about those American media priorities!!
"We pillage and burn sacrificial goats to distract with any news we can find to hide whats really going on in the news."

In other words....

"We DISTRACT, you DECIDE"

(however, we really dont care what YOU decide as long as YOU citizens dont DISTRACT us!**)

so, which way to America the Beautiful?

6. Now BE FAIR! It wasn't ALL Michael Jackson!
They DID manage to slip in a story about Monica Lewinsky. (I am not joking.)
