What makes it so different than Bill Kamal or the guys who raped and killed two Florida girls. Those got media coverage for like 3.5 seconds and were more severe. Even the priest in the church who had been molesting children so long. Yes the world should care 10000% but not only about MJ who we all knew was going to be found NOT guilty, come on celebrities have it made easy and it's wrong but that's the way things are in this country. 2. Those threads rock! 3. Unless you're in total denial then you'd know how bad our country is. lol but you're smarter than that Javi so you should know.

i love this number format we got goin' on

1) the reason why it's different is because it's MICHAEL JACKSON. If it was Mr. Dick N. Balls I wouldn't give a shit. lol and neither would the rest of the world, for that matter.
If it's some unknown, then it's like "oh no, what a horrible man"
if it's someone famous, some person that has been looked up to by millions (and let's face it, as much as i have always hated MJ and his music, he is one of the most famous artists of all time) then people are gonna care. The media will have its field day. THe agenda setting is run by media conglomerates that think "ok whats going to make us money?"
Answer= what people like
and what do people just LOOOOVVVEEEE?!?!

not death, thats sad.
not the latest issue on global warming (go on, repeat the same news over and over again, nobody is gonna listen, and everybody is still going to drive their cars to get to the wendy's a block away)

people love DRAMA! GOSSIP!

and so the media gives you just that. Magazines, newspapers, tv, radio- it's all agenda setting.

as much as we can complain about it....we let them do it.


2. indeed

and lastly

3. I don't think this country is going to hell. It's been far worse before and it's in better shape than a shit ton of other places in this world. So i think we're ok. This world isn't perfect, let alone the States.

and you know what? It never will be.

Originally posted by Mr. Pink dude, thats life.... the media has a hold on what we see, what we read, everything it's called agenda setting. There's absolutely nothing we can do about it. My point isn't against this thread, it's just against michael jackson as a person. regardless, there are more important things going on in this world.. but let's think about this: which do you think has more discussion between people in the world........the war, or who's gonna win the next American Idol?

That's the reason why the media is retarded. I don't watch the news. What's the point? I'm smart enough to realize they only put certain things on and leave other stuff off. Censorship!!!!!!!!!!!

American Idol would win because they have been brainwashed to think that is more important than the war, etc.


As for there being nothing we can do about it? You're probably right, which totally blows. But we can at least try something. To start off, we can NOT believe everything we see on tv Because you know there are people out there who believe EVERYTHING they see on tv and nothing else.

Originally posted by XxGrOoVeERICxX The problem is all the attention this particular case got. Why is it so different from any other child molestation case out there? Don't get me wrong, anyone who abuses a child deserves to be punished severely!!! But in the big picture, there a bigger problems we could have been focusing more attention on than on wacko jacko. Again, this is just what is wrong with the media. We have people dying everyday in Iraq yet we are wondering what is going on in a court room saga over some famous guy. Our priorities are out of whack and it's sad; Divert our attention from bigger, more important issues.

foe example...when is The Fix coming back!
