i had more sympathy for the people that post about losing their dogs than when MJ died

That's how the American media has influenced its public. Dead soldiers only get reported on a slow news day.

MJ's death is a very big deal in a society where what Megan Fox is wearing at the next red carpet is more important than a soldier dying.
