A Current Issue

I chose to write about the coverage of the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray the doctor accused of killing Micheal Jackson. No matter if you liked Micheal or not you're going to know at least one thing about this trial. Not only is it all over E! news and Extra but you can catch twenty four hour coverage of it with Nancy Grace and many other big news stations. I think it's a good thing that the public is knowledgeble about what happened to the king of pop, but does it necissarily need to be on every news station all day long, especilly Fox news and ABC. My grandma is really into the case and had it on while I was at her house and for the four hours I was at her house Nancy Grace was talking about it. I feel that as a worldwide news anchor for an evening news station she should be talking about more significant things than this trial and her appearances on dancing with the stars. I  feel like our idolization of celebrities and celebtrity news has made us lose sight or forget about what really is going on in the world. I mean I feel like I should be watching endless news coverage of the war overseas or even the stock market and the economy of us here in the USA.
