MJ found not Guilty

Does this mean that the media can move on from celebrity bullshit and start discussing the situation in Iraq and the Downing Street memo? Or how about the precarious state of our economy? Maybe we could talk about some serious environmental problems we are all going to start experiencing in less than a decade?

No, you say? Think about it for a moment. What if E! or that perpetually outraged Nancy Grace had been responsible for running the Jackson trial?

Alright let's play the game and see if we can apply these tough journalistic credentials here on the Rising Hegemon: Earlier today, in a stunned -- just absolutely stunned and hushed, very hushed California courtroom, the stupid and guileless jury in Michael Jackson's vast child abuse trial returned verdicts of not guilty on all charges.

This decision has only reinforced my belief that celebrity cases involving the mistreatment of wives, dependents, and children are best tried by the media outlet such as ourselves rather than by judges who have years of legal training running roughshod over a group of malinformed miscreants who have never heard of Wacko Jacko's strange and consistently illegal behavior in and out of the bizarro world of Neverland Ranchero.

Whadya think? Is this the future of the media? Yeah, Probably.
