I saw on the web that Fox news was reporting that so few people showed up for the Michael Jackson memorial that people were out in front of the auditorium handing out free tickets to passersby, in hopes of filling up the auditorium. I wonder –early on–how high a price some people might have paid scalpers for their tickets?

Looked on Fox that was covering the service live and, sure enough, when the camera panned out over the audience you could see that many, many seats were empty in the cavernous auditorium. To be generous, I’d estimate that the auditorium was perhaps 50% filled.

Who wants to bet that because this development will not fit in with the MSM hype that all the world mourns Jackson, that the MSM will not comment on this situation, so that, looking back a few years from now, those who did not see what I saw will belive from MSM coverage that the hall was jammed to capacity?

Yes, it is an easy story to cover. No one is going to challenge their coverage for being one sided.

It will be pushed as long as possible because it keeps Obama, Congress, Honduras, North Korea, Iran, National Health Care, and Cap and Trade out of the public eye.

Michael Jackson had talent and was a good entertainer, early in his career but in no way was a major lasting influence on music as were people like Elvis and The Beatles. Even the only televised new program I watch, Fox at the noon hour, was focusing on Michael today……I turned ti off. Fox of all outlets!

The Jackson stuff is getting into Diana territory, but it will be over soon. He holds an perverse fascination over a segment of the population. His weirdness was bigger than his music.

Now folks can obsess about Palin’s resignation and what it means and why the question of what it is about doesn’t seem to have been answered by her statement.

Michael Jackson died? I guess it got lost in all of the obsessive Karl Malden coverage. Anderson Cooper just goes on and on about “Streetcar” and “On The Waterfront” night after night. Okay, we get it! He was comfortable in his own skin, and with his nose, and was also quite good in films like “All Fall Down” – let it go already! It’s July 3rd, aren’t you supposed to be in the Hamptons, or something?
