Sheesh -- we criticize the media's MJ focus

[jmaier]

and then hang around staring at the news and biding our time with one inane Jackson thread after another cluttering up the front page. Is it any wonder that crap such as this drives the media today -- we eat it up.

Is there anything else of import happening today?

on edit: this is ANOTHER ONE of those threads, I guess. :-)

It was the minute-by-minute, day-after-day coverage in the place of so much other news that rankled.

12. This one about Grandpa Gangs robbing banks caught my attention!

From the UK a couple of days ago, older men robbing banks because they can't support themselves on their pensions! What a way to spend your retirement, guys!
