Michael Jackson Trial Coverage

The reason for the wall to wall Michael Jackson trial coverage is that it is cheap to do.

You don't have to spend anything on research. Nothing on digging into a story, and you offend no one. Much like the pack mentality during scrums in our House of Commons and political reporting in Canada.

As a Canadian I am embarrassed that Newsworld needed to take up time on their broadcast so I could watch three black vehicles drive from the courtroom to Neverland.

CBC and Newsworld has always been something for me to hold up for the world to see how Canada is different, instead it is now trying to beat the rush to the bottom to reach the lowest common denominator.

Don't we have more important things going on in the world, rather to watch a very talented man go back to his own weird little world?

Thank you
