Dead Tree Alert I: Michael and the Media

My Tuned In column in the print TIME this week is, unsurprisingly, about the media welter around Michael Jackson. It is, to be honest, basically an amalgamation of my two posts earlier this week about the news coverage of his death and about the memorial ceremony (which, among other things, responded to his media treatment), so if you've read them, you've read much of the column. But the advantage to that is, if you hate the column, you can simply cut-and-paste one of the many comments on my earlier post! (I suggest #8.)
