Michael Jackson & the Media (Hello! What Happened to Iran? )- by Marcia G.Yerman
Everybody has weighed in on Jackson's death, from Cher on the Larry King show to Christine Hefner and Al Sharpton on MSNBC. This morning, the live coverage of the President's news conference with German Chancellor Merkel felt like it was squeezed in, between a further dissection of the Jackson persona - ranging from references to him as a Mozartian genius to a suspected pedophile.
However, the watershed image of loss for me of the past week was not the "King of Pop," with his unique musical skills, wonderful dancing, and gloved hand. It was the picture of Neda Agha Soltan brutally killed in Iran, looking squarely into the camera, for what may have been a passport photo.
Note EU-Digest: there is not one artist in the world who deserves adulteration following his death. Admiration maybe, but this total craziness we are seeing now with Michael Jackson absolutely not.
