Dear CNN,

For the love of god, we've got people dying in Iran and North Korea threatening to start a nuclear world war, and you guys have spent the last 30+ minutes talking NON-STOP about Michael Jackson!! No doubt you'll spend the rest of the Sit Room obsessing over this. Right now I'm listening to Wolf discussing Michael Jackson's life story with a reporter over the phone.

The guy had a heart attack, not a terrorist attack! Yes, it's newsworthy. But not worthy of suspending all other news reporting. You're CNN, for crying out loud! Act like it!

I'm switching channels now. I can't take anymore of this nonsense. I'll just wait and get my clips when Jon Stewart makes fun of you for this latest idiocy.

An otherwise loyal viewer,

--Kris
