     I know that Michael Jackson was one of the most famous pop stars of all time, but his death does not warrant twenty-four hour a day coverage. This is not the most important story in the world. There are wars, political issues, and other far more pressing matters. The House of representatives just passed a Cap and Trade bill that could destroy the economy of this nation, Iran could be near a revolution, and billions of people around the world live on less than two dollars a day. These are the stories that should be on the news. These are the things we should be talking about. Michael Jackson was a gifted performer and he will be missed, yet the world WILL continue to spin despite what some with a penchant for hyperbole may think!!!!!!
