I hope no one is insinuating that just because someone has a different opinion on something they are automatically a “hater”…or have a “sad negative life”. Not everyone takes it to extremes…I hope we can see the difference.

There have been lots of tributes around the world and there continue to be. I won’t give Trent grief about reporting on MJ here because this is an entertainment blog and this is entertainment news. However, I had to take CNN off my toolbar because cnn.com simply can’t seem to cover anything but this. I check CNN several times a day and they have been regurgitating old news just to keep MJ as their main headline on the site. I actually did email them about this to let them know how I felt, not that I think anyone there cares. lol. I have had to go to bbc.com to get international news and even American news for the last week. BBC has covered this but have not made it their number one story except in the days immediately after the death and on the day of the funeral. I maintain it has been disgusting how mainstream media, who thoroughly enjoyed every pedophilia accusation and courtcase, has crammed this down our throats to the exclusion of other news. It is incredibly hypocritical. To be clear, I don’t have a problem with them continuing to cover this as new developments happen, but it has really felt over the last few days that they are working their damnedest to make the news, and not report it. I am not sure why anyone would come down hard on Trent for reporting on this but I do expect mainstream media to start to focus on something else.

Hey Trent, just wanted to say that I’m soooo glad you do this blog, I love reading your stuff. You are funny, positive, entertaining and a great writer. Please don’t let these grumpy gusses bring you down!!!!! Post whatever YOU think is interesting, and the folks who love you and your site will just read the parts that interest us — but will NEVER tear you down for the rest. Haters be dam*ed!

Enough MJ. It’s getting overly depressing with this carrying on and continuous reporting on every last detail. I realize the world has lost a great artist, and I am very saddened by it as well, but there is a point where you have to start moving on, as far as media coverage goes. It’s been almost 3 weeks of non-stop in your face coverage, no matter whether it be online or on the network news. I realize happenings like the death of MJ are the bread and butter of gossip and media sites, but there must be some other news out there people!

If there was ANY doubt that Trent is a true MJ fan, I think it is put to rest today. :D
