I usually tune in for a few news headlines and the weather on the local Nine network TODAY Show [not that wierd cult known as 'The Sunrise Family'] before sorting the kids breakfast and school run.
This morning was one of those amazing days when news came through of the reported cardiac arrest of 'King of Pop' Michael Jackson. That's a very sad and predictable event. BUT the amazing thing was the drive to be 'first' or most informed about the developments and the prominence of reports on TMZ.com website that Michael had died.
Hosts were reticent to 'call it' but knew that TMZ gets the story. If you check their website now you'll see live feed of the gathering crowd outside the LA hospital... the world really has shrunk.
The story pushed reports of the death of Farrah Fawcett to a sideline as Richard Wilkins surfed his Blackberry and Karl Stef tapped away at the indesk internet connection!
So try as they might to not go down the path, we now get our breaking international news from a gossip website! Check it out here
RIP Michael Jackson 1958-2009
