Hi, Franc, et.al., from Joe B in NOLA I arrived at work at WWNO, the New Orleans National Public Radio affiliate, thirty minutes ago. The first story following the "news headlines" was another interview about MJ and his debts and who gets his royalties. "It goes on, Indy!! It goes on!" Joe

But I expect this of Amazon whose sole purpose is to make money. I expect the news organizations to be better than this. News broadcasters have a public license to report the news and that means all the news, not just the sensational news or the news that gets ratings. FRANC Hi everyone, Well, it's not just ebay. If you check out the home page of Amazon, there is a box on the top right hand corner of the website just below their banner that pays "tribute" to Michael Jackson with these words : Michael Jackson , 1958-2009 Michael Jackson has died at the age of 50. One of the world's most recognizable entertainers, Jackson is best known for Thriller. His incalculable musical legacy lives on. Then amazon places a link following the paragraph, saying " Discover the great works of Michael Jackson " which links to a page with all of Jackson's work on sale at amazon. So the question is this.... is it a true tribute, or is it exploitation ? daniel Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
