I fully understand here that he was an important figure to some, that people loved his songs and all, but what I don’t understand is the media response. I don’t think it’s so much just this case, but this is the one I’m going to go off on a tangent about. Yes, he died. Millions of people die a day, but yet when I turn on CNN or Fox News or when I go to the websites to catch up on my world news all I see at first is him. Seriously? A week later there is nothing more important going on in the world than his ass? It’s frustrating to me. This country seems to have it’s priorities completely ass backwards. I could completely understand that day it happened and maybe things here and there afterwards about him in the news, but honestly is his death more important than the other news? This isn’t the first time this has happened, but every time it happens it never fails to boggle my mind.
