Comments:News of Michael Jackson's death overloads Internet sites and sparks hoaxes

I find the media is making a big deal out of one mans death. Look at it this way in Iraq civilians die in a majority of cases because of the American Army making a bobo but Michael Jackson's death seems more important then this. Sometimes the media does not cover it at all instead they will show it on a 5 word news bulletin.Andimahony (talk) 12:35, 26 June 2009 (UTC)Andimahony

Makes me think of manufacture of the consent, they don't want you to mind too much about the real problems they just want to divert your attention on trivial issues. There was a serious situation in Iran where an entire nation is protesting and MJ's death comes in and boom! , the media jumps on him like if they were desperalty in need of trivial celebs news to talk about instead.

 * As for your Iraq comment, you're a little late there, aren't you? It's been several years since an Iraqi civilian died. 206.74.5.136 (talk) 05:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

hello you sexy beatsies
Although every life is equally important in the scheme of things, Michael's life was a prominent one. He was well-known and had many great musical achievements throughout his life. How is it a wrong thing to celebrate the life of a prominent, important musical figure? Is it not better to celebrate a life of someone so important than to forget it as if he never existed? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.167.232.197 (talk • contribs)
