I do, but not because I think he's overrated.
In fact, I'm irritated because many of these people idolizing him in death were peeing on him (figure of speech) in the last decade or two.

I would prefer more Iran coverage.

I'm so tired of hearing about Michael the Molestor. Had Farrah Faucett died some other time she would have gotten the publicity she deserved and the same for Ed McMahan, both who were far more respected people then the likes of a child molestor who pays off his accusers.

Michael Jackson gave 300 million to various charities. Easily googled. Give credit where credit is due.

It goes to show you what Americans' priorities are. The majority would rather hear about MJ and "juicy" scandals in general than about things that actually matter.

As a mere pop star, yes, he is getting too much coverage. But as to the events and possible causes surrounding his death, overdose, manslaugter, criminal negligence, etc., the facts need to be brought out. The FBI and DEA involved now.

Michael Jackson would say that you are just ignorant.

do u think michael jackson is getting to much prime news coverage??

No. Elvis' death is still talked about today and he wasn't half the entertainer MJ was.
