[ via Doc Searls ] This is King Canute and all that, but let us read it into the record:
News should be what affects the most people. Celebs have no impact on my life or the lives of anybody but their friends, families and co-workers. If Michael Jackson’s arrest hurts record sales, it’s a business story. If it boosts TV ratings, it’s a TV page story. If he molests little boys, it’s a crime story. Whatever kind of story it is, it’s not Page One News.
The Devil can take Jackson, regardless of his guilt or innocence.
