RIP Farrah Fawcett and Shame On You CNN! email this discussion to a friend?

It seems ever since the news of Michael Jacksons death broke Farrah Fawcett has been pushed to the back burner. For some reason CNN cannot share the spotlight between these two celebrities. CNN was supposed to run a special tonight called "Farrah Fawcett, Remembering An Angel" It has been cancelled and replaced with Remembering Michael Jackson. Larry King made the comment that with the recent death of Michael Jackson Farrah's death is now "a thing of the past" What a slap in Farrah's family's face. RIP Farrah and Shame On You CNN And Larry King!

I completely agree! Perhaps CNN justifies their decision because Farrah Fawcett had been ill for many months and similar television shows had aired in past months. It still doesn't mean that the television stations should completely ignore the death of one celebrity. Both celebrities were influential individuals who affected their respective industries.

I agree that they are showing much more about Michael than they are Farrah. I believe that it is because we all knew that she was ill and was losing her battle. His is so unexpected and he has way more fans. It is such a sad week for Hollywood- Ed McMahon, Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett- how sad!sad

I totally agree. Farrah deserves just as much attention as mike does. I don't think it's appropiate that Larry said that farrah's death is a thing of the past. I never liked larry king. And it is probaly hurting for all of farrah's friends if they heard his comment. CNN shouldn't be "sharing" the spotlight with two celeberties. Two people died, and that is sad.

Sharing the spotlight was a wrong choice of words. What I was trying to say is one deserves just as much respect as the other in remembering the life they each lived.Quite personally it makes me really angry that Michael's family cannot mourn in peace becase of the media mob.

CNN should stick to their plan to air the special episode about Farrah Fawcett, because people already expected it, anyway they can make another episode for Michael Jackson. It should not be overshadowed with other show whatever they promised to the viewers.

Fawcett and Jackson both displayed wonderful talents to the entertainment world, they were both icons and should be treated fairly, even in death.

I think CNN should have done like the rest of the stations and run a special on both of them. I know two or three of them that had an hour on Michael and an hour on Farrah.

Farrah?! WHAT ABOUT ED? like, it sorta bothers me that its hilarious to push Farrah AND ED out the window, for MJ press?!! like Jeez is the media that disgusting to move along with those to people and act as if it didnt happend for MJ, dont get me wrong here, yeah he changed music among the greats, and became a legend among the legends, but WTF? does anyone care about Farrah and Ed? like there was a minute or 5 on Eds passing, and i didnt even see anything on Farrah, all i have to say is that this is a pure example of how ignorant this world is to the teeth, like im not disrepecting MJ but like there are others who did pass..


myLot reputation of 76/100. marcialoyd (1072)   ranked 112 out of 5,008 in watching television  7 months ago

Agreed. All I have seen about Ed is the news of his passing and nothing more. The one good thing though is Ed and Farrah's families can mourn in private and not under the media storm. No brother should ever have to face the media just hours after their brother has passed like Michael's brother did tonight. The media is absolutely heartless.

Farrah Fawcet was a wonderful person besides being a celebrity and a part of our life when she was in TV. Michael Jackson, on the other hand, besides his talent had a too oscure side in this personality. I think that, on the long run, Farrah Fawcet will remain in our memory for a longer time.

actually i was surprised when cnn mentioned that they'd be back with something on the late farrah fawcett. and it was like it was almost an hour since i learned on cnn that michael jackson is dead. this was the first time within 60 minutes that farrah fawcett also died was ever mentioned and to think she passed not long after the king of pop did.

so, i waited and tried to see which of the two passings they would do a good work on. but it was over long before i finished washing 4 pieces of dishes.

but this may be michael's time to have that much attention. it's easier to get materials on him anyway.

nobody can ignore a farrah fawcett for long. everyone would soon see happy.

Hi Marcia, have I missed something? I didn't know Michael Jackson has died
I heard about Farah Fawcett last Night and I was quite sad as I liked her but when did Michael Jackson die?? I have never really liked him, but do not wish this on anyone
I think it is disgusting to that Farah has been pushed into the background because of that
Ok I just saw it on our News here now that he has died, it is sad but Farrah deserves her tribute to

Yes, I agree with you, Farrah should at least be given publicity. May she rest in peace
