Are you covering EVERY child molester trial in the country... or even in YOUR AREA????? If not, your argument about this being an 'important' trial doesn't wash.
And yes, I do watch other networks, but at 5 and 11... 'The Simpsons' actually IS the most intelligent thing on TV.
Listen, you can defend your putting crap on the air all you want, but the FACT is fewer people watch local TV news.... and the over-coverage of MJ is just one of the reasons. |

No we don't cover every child molester but we should. Of course, every time a high school teacher or church youth leader is accused with child molestation we make it the lead story. As we should. Adults in any position of control over children should be held accountable for their actions. And certainly when the child molester (accused) is an international recording artist who was number one for several years running (not just a one hit wonder) the amount of coverage is justified.
Look let's all be real. What MJ is charged with is so disgusting it is easier for us to look the other way and just say "it's sensationalism and I am way too intelligent to care". And it is that attitude that allows people like him to get away with this and other criminal acts. Cherry, maybe you SHOULD give a damn! Stop watching the Simpsons and start caring about what is happening in the world around you.
