CNN Urges Senators to Ask Sotomayor More Questions About Michael Jackson
:) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl: :) :rofl:

CNN criticized the conduct of the Senate Judiciary Committee today, arguing that the senators were spending too much time probing Supreme Court nominee Sonya Sotomayor about her legal philosophy instead of asking her questions about Michael Jackson.

"Our viewers want to know who's going to have custody of Blanket and the other Jackson children, and none of that is being addressed in these hearings," said CNN's Larry King. "Frankly, our viewers are watching these proceedings in disbelief."

On his "Situation Room" program yesterday, Wolf Blitzer echoed those sentiments, adding, "It's hard to believe that Sonya Sotomayor has been grilled for two days straight and the subject of Debbie Rowe hasn't come up once."

CNN is also demanding that there be additional autopsies of Michael Jackson and additional funerals, if possible. More here.

1. And guess what? That wouldn't have surprised me in the slightest
if cnn had a problem with the coverage. It IS taking away from their 'valuable' MJ decade-long retrospective. ;)

5. I'm waiting for the body

to go on tour. There's probably nothing in the contract that says Michael Jackson must be alive.

3. LOL, Darn, I guess they aren't getting the 'ratings' they need...
unless they prostitute themselves by hyping the infotainment propaganda. CNN is really working on winning the race to the bottom of the barrel and with shit like this they may well win even over the POS Fox.
