Michael Jackson Died, Guys
supersheep:
There is a difference between saying something will be covered more by the news and should be covered more by the news, and 'newsworthy' certainly implies the second to me, not the first. Michael Jackson's death is obviously more likely to be covered, but saying it's more worthy of being covered is a value judgement I take issue with.
Yunior:
Well,
I was saying Jackson's death "should" receive coverage -- not because it was more important but because it was timelier and of interest to the kind of audience mainstream media caters to.
Stop value-judging me!! :police: :police: :police:
supersheep:
Oh, OK then! I misinterpreted what you meant by should. I mean, there is an argument to be had about what the role of the media should be etcetera ad nauseaum, but this is not the place for it.

He was a big deal to people Philippe's age, too.
(I'm really, really sorry, I'll go back to my hole in the other thread now)
