Michael Jackson's Internet News Frenzy: History of Hypocrisy?

Let’s be honest…the only person happy about Michael Jackson’s death was South Carolina’s Governor, Mark Sanford.

As the world processes the loss of the King of Pop, many focus on related stories. Some PR folks for example have been proclaiming TMZ is “Associated Press 2.0” and are all but dancing on CNN’s grave.

Personally, I see the mainstream media’s role in this differently than some – including Richard Laermer.

So we’re doing a point counterpoint – 250 words each on why the Michael Jackson Internet frenzy spells the death of mainstream media and the rise of TMZ and other emerging news outlets.

Who’s right? Who’s wrong? You’ll be the judge.
