What's Important to the MSM?

What's important to the MSM is celebrity this week, even abandoning their bashing of Republicans, Traditionalists and Conservatives, is to over-cover the death of a tragic human being; a pop singer pedophile drug addict. By the way, if you think there's too much coverage of Jackson's death, you're a racist (I read that in a article a couple days ago and can't find it now to link).

A couple days after Jackson's death seven soldiers were killed in Afghanistan. Their deaths earned a total of less than one minute combined on the ABC, CBS and NBC evening newscasts on this past Monday night.

On Anderson Cooper's "360" 40 seconds were spent on the “Wife-Carrying World Championship” in Sonkajarvi, Finland and how the winner got his wife's weight in beer, and 15 seconds to Afghanistan.

From a letter to the editor, Washington Post by Martha Gillis: "My nephew, Brian Bradshaw, was killed by an explosive device in Afghanistan on June 25, the same day that Michael Jackson died. Mr. Jackson received days of wall-to-wall coverage in the media. Where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers who died that week? There were several of them, and our family crossed paths with the family of another fallen soldier at Dover Air Force Base, where the bodies come “home.” Only the media in Brian's hometown [in Washington State] and where he was stationed before his deployment [Alaska] covered his death." ...He had old-fashioned values and believed that military service was patriotic and that actions counted more than talk. He wasn't much for talking, although he could communicate volumes with a raised eyebrow.”

Kudos to our military and their families, and once again shame on the MSM.

Writing this I just remembered Diana and Mother Teresa died at the same time. Teresa got a mention.
