CNN Poll: Are you following the Michael Jackson trial?
Yes 11% 13831 votes

No 89% 111547 votes
Total: 125378 votes

So, Why is the media covering something that nearly 90% of the public doesn't care about?

1. Good!
Most people know it's a fraud so they don't care. Hopefully the fraud won't end-up with Jackson wrongfully put in prison.

9. I voted in the poll. Then I wrote them a letter suggesting
some actual news stories they might want to cover other than Michael Jackson and other boring celebrities.

11. Problem with this poll is that it's people reading the news
on the internet who are responding. Bet if a poll was done of TV viewers the results would be the opposite...

13. We must be protected from ourselves silly
We can't be trusted with the truth
We might get scared and upset or something

Big Brother is merely looking out for our mental health that way we don't have to be bothered with trivial matter like stealing, lying, cheating, war and death, ya know lifes icky things. "They" know what's good for us.
