Winning is so sweet. For some, winning fairly or unfairly doesn’t matter. In order to get more consumers, the media plays dirty. By doubling up companies, in other words-taking over smaller companies and forming oligopolies, the media can develop more options and please a diverse audience rather than taking risks and losing money. God forbid today’s society plays fair and loses a dollar. Geez.
Thankfully for magazines and newspapers, the Internet and TV are reliable, pacify the public until tomorrow’s breaking news article, and fast. After hearing about Michael Jackson’s death on the radio, from many different stations, many listeners were skeptic. Originally, TMZ (Thirty Mile Zone) released the news of the King of Pop’s death. Fans waited for a more reliable source before mourning his death, but after CNN released the sad news, the world knew that it had to be true. Maybe cultures should wake up and realize that the “Man in the Mirror” is really money starring back at them. I bet Michael Jackson would have a sound effect and crotch grabber for that one.
Being a dancer, I definitely would have loved to audition to become a backup dancer for Michael Jackson, but maybe another Jackson family member is in my cards. After studying the DanceSpirit magazine for media class, I learned that Michael Jackson was featured in many editions. The Macfadden Performing Arts Media, LLC owned magazine featured tips for learning the King of Pop’s infamous moonwalk, advertised for Jackson’s choreographer’s face in workshops, and his well-rounded abilities. Originating from controlled circulations to joining forces to increase paid circulations, the monthly dance bible offers opportunity for every type of person no matter what color, ethnicity, or religion they represent. Anyone that has any interest in dance or keeping in shape can read this magazine. A performing icon will be remembered always. The media will drill that pin into the ass, even if it means they have to open a tightly pinched eye to get it perfect.
