Don't worry the child molestation issue will get serious coverage as the case progresses. Thanks. 120206@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Feb 2005 07:12:27 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/01/024536.php#comment-120203 The fact that this is being presented as "entertainment" is more a reflection on American culture than Journalism. Regarding the story being posted under "entertainment", Michael Jackson is an entertainer, the section by its nature is stories regarding entertainers, not stories that are specifically entertaining. I am disguisted by the Laci Petterson story being made into entertainment, but Michael Jackson is an entertainer, he entertains people, he can't help it and we can't help but be entertained by him. 120203@blogcritics.org Sat, 19 Feb 2005 06:59:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/02/01/024536.php#comment-113818 CJ, good point about the disconnect between the seriousness of what is at issue and at stake here, but celebrity trials have become mass entertainment, perhaps they always have been - it's the original reality TV (no TV in this case, but..), thanks and welcome! 113818@blogcritics.org Tue, 1 Feb 2005 15:00:00 EST
