Settled down this evening to catch up with what's going on in the world after a busy few days for me recently only to find that Sky News are still reporting live from California on Michael Jackson.
For the 10 minutes I watched, this was their only story. They've even sent out Kate Burley - like Kate Adie only for grief-stricken events.
Switched over to the Austrian 10 o'clock news and found out that 18 people had been killed in Italy when a goods train exploded and that over 150 people are missing presumed dead after a plane crash in the Indian Ocean.
Are these stories really so irrelevant to Sky News and its viewers that they don't deserve to be mentioned?
I was saddened by Jackson's death but the analysis five days later is totally out of proportion IMHO.
