Yes, media attention seems to focus more in the last 48 hours on the death of Michael Jackson when another media superstar, Farrah Fawcett, died the same day. The media view of Jackson, 50, makes the family act like LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. A lot of attitude and no remorse for their actions. Jackson's life was skewed from day one, especially during the days of rumored child molestation at the Neverland ranch.
Fawcett, who made her break in Charlie's Angels, died at age 62 of anal cancer (NOTE: a bit awkward, since we have never really heard much about this!). But she was pushed to the side when news of Jackson's death popped up in breaking news headlines. Yes, for several weeks, Fawcett has been on Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight and other TV tabloid shows and was in her own documentary about her battle with cancer.
Jackson, however, with his constant badgering by the paparazzi, managed to not be seen. His popularity struck the ranks of pop music to be considered "the king of pop". He couldn't exactly take away "the king of rock and roll", a title still held by the late Elvis Presley, but his girly-like behavior could take "the queen of pop" title from Madonna.
I just don't know. I think Fawcett was more popular than Jackson. That's just me. You decide for yourself…
