World news has been completely overshadowed by the death of Michael Jackson. The YouTube vid above is an interesting way of seeing how quickly the information was picked up on Twitter and then became a Storm.

Just incredible. Compare that to the number of views on Barack Obama’s speech on “A more perfect union” – only 7 million. Difficult to understand how people prioritise, really.

It will be interesting to see how many tune in on Saturday and whether the Cowell Media Machine turns Britain’s talent into Frankenstein’s monster…
