During the Jackson funeral Tuesday, I shut off the news – and turned on the local salsa radio station instead. I understand salsa, I don’t understand why we were making uch a big deal over a guy who sings well who poisoned himself voluntarily.<\/p>\n

Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette took this screen cap of Fox News’s front page during the funeral<\/a>. It shows a picture of the late 1LT Brian Bradshaw who was killed in Afghanistan the same day that Michael Jackson and the story is about the Bradshaw family’s complaint of the endless coverage of the Jackson funeral, and nothing about the troops who had died during the same period. The banner above the story announces the arrival of the Jackson family at the cemetary – “Watch Live!”. I wonder if Fox noticed the hypocrisy like Greyhawk noticed.<\/p>\n

So ever since the day of the funeral, Fox News has trotted out members of Bradshaw’s family to chastise the media for ignoring the war in Afghanistan so that they can squeeze in more Jackson coverage. Fox’ on air personalities join in the media bashing along with the Bradshaw family. They shake their heads and “tsk-tsk”. Apparently not recognizing the fact that Fox had at least as much, if not more, to do with the nauseating coverage of a dead pervert.<\/p>\n

So, like I said, I’ve seen this Bradshaw family trotted out for nearly every show in the last three days. I’d show you the videos, but Fox hasn’t bothered to put any of the videos up. As if the issue no longer exists and Fox has atoned for poisoning the airways with their garbage.<\/p>\n

The only thing I can find is Pete King on O’Reilly defending his remarks the other day on YouTube. That video is below the fold.
