Current Events -What Really Matters

Breaking News -Important News?

CNN's top story today is "Jackson's will answers questions, raises more". Fox news wasn't far behind, with two articles on Afghan villages and the North Korean missiles, and third -"Jacko hid drugs, secret love". That's much more interesting and not nearly as hard to understand!
Yes, we all agree Michael Jackson was an untimely icon world wide. He was a musical pioneer, one of a kind, and kept audience interested well after Thriller with scandal after scandal -fading skin color, child molestation and the Neverland Ranch. Michael Jackson, you will certainly never be forgotten.
But in a time when the state of California alone is sinking faster than the rest of the country -a country that even President Obama himself will admit is "out of money". In a time when we are still at war, when thousands of people are being killed every day; when we have missiles being tested and fired, and nuclear weapons parked but ready. In a time when people should be reading and educating themselves on what is really going on with not just our economic failure, but the rest of the world, instead the media puts out complete coverage on the death of a celebrity.
There is an entire page with links to questions about his life, his death, his will, the legacy, and reaction of others on CNN's home page. Why isn't there a page with answers to REAL questions?
How can we fix our financial debt? What are we doing to end the war?
But then again, the media will probably do a "complete coverage" of Farrah Fawcett's death (that no one seems to care about because Michael Jackson's sudden death was far more exciting and scandalous than a Charlie's Angel slowly dying of cancer) before they bore readers with the important stuff.
