"Is decorum a thing of the past?" It is as far as the media is concerned. FRANC

Franc - I agree. Especially when you consider North Korea wants to nuke us by the 4th of July not to mention the protests in Iran. I'm not sure what's appropriate anymore. Is decorum a thing of the past?

I've just got finished trying to watch CNN for news coverage and then the local and the national news coverage on NBC. Tonight all the broadcast stations and many of the cable stations have tributes to Michael Jackson and I'm more than sure this will carryforth through next week. So my question is also "How much time is appropriate?". But I'm asking a different question than the one pondered about Jackson memorabilia hocked by a Mexican lobby card salesman. Why must the media be so lazy? Every station and cablecasters is feeding on the the frenzy of this story, as if there's nothing else happening in the world. I'm sorry Michael Jackson died so suddenly too but the coverage is now beginning to be exploitation. Does anyone else on MOPO feel this way or am I just turning into a grumpy old man?
