The Day The Media Died

I loved this comment regarding the lack of serious news coverage since Michael Jackson died:

"The awful cap and trade legislation passed almost certainly due to Jackson’s death pushing all other news off the front page. We are also hearing less from the protesters in Iran. And who is this Mark Sanford guy? Does anybody now care about his fooling around in Argentina? Wouldn’t it be strange if archeologists study our civilization in a thousand years hence and decide we destroyed ourselves by overreacting to the death of a pop star?"
