Not to rile you or hurt you babe..but....media coverage is in proportion to how many people are interested..otherwise they wouldn't do it. It's not a 'slight' by any particular TV editor...it's a quick calculation of who is more significant. That sounds harsh. It IS harsh. The world is harsh. Our passing fancies for stars and fashions and ethics are harsh. But that's the way it is. i wouldn't even attempt to enter into a debate as to who had a greater or more lasting effect on the field in which they worked - Farrah or Michael - since i didn't even know how Farrah was up until today. You see my point? It doesn't mean i want to take away from her how appalling cancer is...it isn't a slight on her death...nor on the death of anyone who suffers the same demise. And that reminds me...where does one take that argument? How far? When Jade Goody was all over the media, there were some who pointed out that she wasn't the ONLY person suffering from cancer. Sadly, not even the only 27 year old. Not even the only 27 year old with two young
