Am I alone in feeling like this?

I'm seeing a lot of the same stuff over and over and over on CNN or HLN. I didn't get to see the coverage on local channels cuz my satellite was out but I guess there was a lot? ::visit me if you wanna:: Come, let's away to prison: We too alone will sing like birds I' the cage; When thou dost ask me blessing I'll kneel down And ask of thee forgiveness; so we'll live, And pray, and sing, and tell old tales, and laugh At gilded butterflies...

The media goes way overboard on some of these celebrity deaths. There are other very serious issues going on in the world.

I'd like to think he and Popiel are together now arguing about who did it better.

But now I'd have to say some of the things coming out have been an eye opener to me. I know with most news I fall into the propaganda of the miss-reported information we are fed by the media. It is sad that I bought into everything we were told about Michael. Last night on youtube.com I saw an interview on the original case against Michael regarding his inappropriate actions with a young male minor. In the interview the boy who is now an adult testified stated when he was a minor his dad told him to falsely testify against Michael so they could get rich. Now this man has come out of the closet stating that he lied because his dad said to. Michael never touched him, and he only was kind to him. Michael's accuser feels bad and wanted people to know the truth. So, another words people like him lied and destroyed Michael's reputation and hurt his career. I feel bad that I so easily bought into the lies and I am sure this had a big impact on Michael's emotional and general health. For the record I would like to apologise. I hope I can learn from this and in the future, that I won't jump on the band wagon so quickly next time. Please drop by our Christian Forum: www.GodsMercy.net. All are welcome.

I agree, the same things are being shown over and over. If it's something new to report then report it, but stop the repetition! I also heard the boy that accused him back then said it was all a lie. Too bad he didn't say something when Michael was alive.

Of course he might have to explain how he was able to give testimony about marks on Jacksons penis. But in answer to the OP,yes i'm sick of it.

My understanding is that it's a hoax. I would like to see the boy confessing. I never did believe that Michael touched those boys. He opened himself up by stating that there is nothing wrong with sharing your bed with children. I felt that Michael was naive to think that people would not read into comments like that. I expected there to be a lot of coverage...even more so than Anna Nicole Smith...after all he's a huge star. I agree it does get tiresome seeing the same things mentioned all of the time. FNL

I thought MJ was a GREAT Entertainer and I am impressed with how his family came from such humble beginings to share with the world what they had BUT it seems like this summer we lost soooooooo many Great people and thier lives weren't covered in so much detail. I Really think part of the attention on MJ is that he had the UK concerts sold out and I just read that the people were told that the tickets sold would be worth a lot of money later on So they're keeping them and not getting thier money back. Meaning the MJ tickets and profits will all go to the promoters and estate. I think the fans should be able to keep thier tickets AND get thier money back or All the money should be donated to Charity in MJ's name. R.I.P. MJ, Farrah, Ed Mc', Billy Mays, David Car', Karl Malden, etc... *JustROY*

I saw a bunch of videos by his mother and fans claiming the child lie. Since the childs family got millions from Jackson I would assume he had them sign a gag order to prevent further discussion. Dont they now have to give back the money to the Jackson estate?

The press has treated him like some type of god. The press needs to realize that the whole world does not revolve around the entertainment industry.
