Is Michael Jackson Being Overglorified?
10:53 am By Jennifer Woodard Maderazo · Celebrities| Controversia| society · 4 Comments
9 Jul 2009Are we done with Michael Jackson yet? Not even close.
Like La Macha, I also teared up watching his memorial service. But our friend Bill O’Reilly says we’re blowing his legacy out of proportion and that America needs to stop idealizing the man. Check it out:
What else could he say? O’Reilly pooh poohs all gestures of admiration towards any person of color. While he does make a couple of good arguments, the overall rhetoric is meant to be hateful and that’s just what it is.
But I do agree with at least one Fox News commentator on this issue. Geraldo Rivera criticized celebrities who showed up to salute Jackson at his memorial service, but who were silent when Michael was being skewered with child molestation charges.
What do you think? Is the glorification of MJ going too far? And what about those silent celebrities?

His Panic : Geraldo Rivera Won’t Shake Lou Dobbs’ Hand

While promoting his new book on ABC’s The View, Geraldo Rivera said he wouldn’t shake hands with Lou Dobbs and other media hate mongers. He has no problem with the term illegal immigrant though. I just love how Barbara Walter’s makes Geraldo an expert because he’s “of immigrant background”.

Geraldo and Bill O’Reilly go to verbal blows

Last Thursday night, Geraldo Rivera and Bill O’Reilly — “journalist” buddies on the Fox News Network – did something that two personalities on that network seldom do: disagree with each other. Fervently.
The topic was the death of two Virginia teenagers as the result of an automobile accident caused by a drunk driver who just happened to be an undocumented immigrant.
Normally conservative Geraldo went out on a limb (for a Fox News personality) to accuse O’Reilly of blaming the fact that the driver was in the U.S. illegally for the death of the victim.
Video after the jump.
