Seems like every other channel on TV was covering the M J Memorial service. Maybe now that's done we might catch a break, and get back to real news.
But I'm not holding my breath.

This morning here they were still covering the tribute and how people are coping in a world with out Michael. I assumed the rest of the world was at peace.
In his honor K-mart has boys pants half off, just how he would have wanted it.

I heard there was some big tribute or something yesterday.

I heard this one yesterday.
"If you hear a big 'whoopaah' in the sky. Its not thunder. Its Elvis kicking Michael's a$$ for sleeping with his daughter."
I couldn't help but laugh.

This is why I rarely if ever watch television or listen to commercial radio.

I hope you understand I am sick of it too. I can't watch the news because that's all that is on. I say move on too. I am more concerned about what happened to the real news, the coverage of a revolution.
Just wanted to clarify.

Not only that, but there was a "coup" in Honduras. Then again, the only time Central and South America gets coverage is when a politician gets on his/her soapbox about illegal immigration, or when Chavez & Castro open their mouths about something

Except, it wasn't a "coup" at all - a fact misrepresented by the media and apparently indiscernible to the Administration.
The President was in violation of the country's constitution and the government said "Get back on a legal track" or suffer the penalty of law.
He didn't and paid the price. Not exactly the traditional concept of a Latin American "coup" is it?

In reply to oldsaw:
I know; that's why I put coup in quotes. It has been a fascinating story, and one that has been building up for quite some time.
I think Zelaya's still circling the airport, trying to land and reclaim the presidency.

He wanted to violate the constitution, but he hadn't yet. And his first and only legal term hadn't expired yet.
And Iran had pretty much crushed the protests in Iran when Jackson died, so there weren't many pictures to show I guess.

Like what Jon Stewart said: Sanford held a press conference one day too early.
