Jackson’s memorial went way overboard
July 09, 2009, 7:00 AM /
The Michael Jackson memorial is one more reason people need to unplug the television and perhaps read a book. The outpouring of media attention worthy of a head of state or civil rights leader was tarnished, as a country and parts of the world watched the same honors bestowed in grandeur fashion to a music celebrity who allegedly abused children and killed himself by knowingly abusing drugs. But he sure could sing!
Perhaps, keeping such elaborate honors to heads of state or civil rights leaders isn’t the role model media wishes to portray to our children.
