It seemed like you were just complaining about the length of the coverage he received. When the most famous person in the world dies they will get lengthy coverage.

There is always more "pertinent" news, but news stations report on what they think people will watch. I don't know why you are questioning my response. Maybe you need some help with comprehension?

I agree, but it's natural because they're more well known throughout the community than, lets say, you and I. They are no better or worse than us; just more well known.

Perhaps a better way to label Michael Jackson would be, "the most famously weird and controversial person in the world".

If your a grown man you don't invite young children to spend the night with you in secret chambers without their parents in never never land. Also, you don't have charges brought up against you twice for child molestation if there is not something going on. Lastly if your innocent you don't pay the family millions to drop the case if your innocent.. Etc.. Etc..

I only state hard facts that make logical sense...
