<p>Can you believe that? 50 years old!</p>

2

<p>I’m strangely upset. Two icons of my youth gone in one afternoon.</p>

3

<p>Michael Jackson was a great talent. Possibly one of the most creative entertainers of all time. It was unfortunate that he had issues and that he is dead so young. I hope that his children will have some strong family support.</p>

4

<p>I cannot believe how shocked I feel. I gasped when I saw the news.</p>

5

<p>Right now, CNN is just saying he is hospitalized… unless TMZ knows something CNN doesn’t know.</p>

6

<p>LA news is reporting that he has died. I hope they are wrong.</p>

7

<p>BBC is reporting his unconfirmed death.</p>

8

<p>TMZ could have a bad source. It is internet news after all. That being said, I would tend to think TMZ would be far more on top of this than CNN.</p>

9

<p>CNN is reporting he is in a coma (and claiming multiple sources). Did TMZ just report that he was dead to get internet hits, or is this shoddy reporting by CNN? We shall see.</p>

10

<p>CNN just confirmed it also.</p>

<p>edit: not confirmed, just reporting the LA times and CBS news confirmations</p>

11

<p>MSNBC is citing The LA Times and reporting he is indeed dead.</p>

12

<p>So, it appears that CNN once again did a shoddy reporting job. TMZ > CNN. Wow! CNN reported he was in a coma (with multiple sources) and then within 5 minutes reported that others are reporting he is dead.</p>

13

<p>Hate to be the people/entities he owes money to.</p>

<p>Hate to be the O2 Arena booked for 50 nights for him in the next 6 months.</p>

14

<p>I heard his family was all called to the hospital this afternoon, and they were all there.</p>

15

<p>Well, TMZ probably has a bazillion more people on the ground in LA than CNN. No celebrity here can sneeze without them knowing it. CNN is busy covering revolutions and world events, etc.</p>

16

<p>I read that he was found dead and unable to be resuscitated.</p>

17

<p>I have tears running down my face. So much talent. Such a waste.</p>

<p>I was the “Michael Jackson lunchbox” generation.</p>

<p>Rest in peace.</p>

<p>CNN is hilarious. They think sending someone to Times Square in New York and putting him on national TV is good reporting.</p>

<p>Like CNN’s horrible Presidential election coverage. LMAO @ believing anything these bozos say. If you believe they’re coverage of Iran is truthful, then shame on you.</p>

<p>I still have concerns about the allegations that he molested children. If he did so, I hope that the victims will have some sense of peace now that he’s gone.</p>

<p>When Michael Jackson became a star as part of the Jackson 5, he seemed like a sweet, energetic child. He became an eccentric recluse, and a poignant example of what fame can cost.</p>
