World Gone Jacko
Quick glance at the local 11 p.m. newscasts: KCBS stuck longest with the Michael Jackson story, and even went back to it later in the broadcast; KNBC was next, while KABC spent the least time. Of course, all three outlets led their 11 p.m. casts with the story, spending at least 10 minutes. Ironically, for a change the local outlets actually showed a bit more restraint than the cable nets, which fed their news cycles with a steady dose of MJ all day.
My favorite moment, however, came as all three stations transitioned to other stories. The way they did it was all the same: "There's other news tonight..." No! Really?! Other news besides Michael Jackson?!
