3am start for Sunrise in adfree Jacko special
The Seven Network’s Sunrise will be on air from 3am AEST this Wednesday to cover the Michael Jackson memorial service.
In an announcement this morning, the network said: “David Koch, Melissa Doyle and Jackson family friend Molly Meldrum will co-host the special edition of Sunrise, with on-the-ground reports from Samantha Armytage, Mike Amor, Nelson Aspen and Rahni Sadler. This historic event will be live and uninterrupted in all markets around the country.”
Wow, words can not express how much I am over this Michael Jackson commotion.
I guess I’m the wrong generation…

Why do you need 4 “on-ground” reporters? Man do i feel sorry for the LA Police.. Not only do they have to deal with the hundreds of thousands of “mourners”, but also the army of “reporters” reporting that Michael Jackson is… dead?!?.. No wonder Jacko’s life was like it was.. there is a constant cirus around him, with people and media trying to squeeze and make every cent out of him.. even in death.

They better be.

Wow, I didnt think anything could surpass the media milking of the recent Victorian bushfires, but looks like we are set for a whole new record. Not saying MJ doesnt deserve the attention, just that in this instance we just want the facts. Not the sugary coated, controversy induced, drawn out, mutli faceted tv coverage bull sh**t that every network is trying to own.

I was in LA in ’94 the day that OJ undertook his notorious freeway chase. When I got back to my hotel that evening it was under siege from all the journos who had flown in and were trying to get rooms wherever they could.
Nothing has changed. I can’t believe all the kerfuffle. It’s not like all this coverage and all these journo’s will able to tell us anything new on the day. And it won’t be just Sunrise, there will be hundreds of ’em from all over the world.
At least OJ was still alive and there was a chance someone might have got a comment or a scoop, but MJ? C’mon now!
I can’t help but think that lunacy like this helped tip him over the edge in the first place
I am reminded of a line from Monty Python’s galaxy song. “And pray that there’s intelligent life somewhere up in space, ‘Cause there’s bugger all down here on Earth.”

Am i right to believe that we could expect to enjoy up to 6 hours of the Sunrise team??
I have an inbuilt “Koshometer” that sends me into a deep deep sleep after listening to no more than 15 seconds of our favorite breaky star, “Koshie”
Sorry MJ
