Editor's Note: Tuesday night’s AC360° feedback focused on the coverage of Michael Jackson’s memorial service. Viewers wrote in to commend Anderson and CNN for the continued coverage, while others criticized the show for giving Michael Jackson more airtime. Take a look at some of what we heard. We’d love to know what you have to say:
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Thank you, Anderson, for having a POSITIVE coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial. The negativity that plagued CNN earlier today made me sick. I am so glad that you are showing respect to his talent and the beautiful things Michael contributed to the entertainment industry.
My deepest gratitude to CNN, for giving me the opportunity to be at Michael Joseph Jackson's Memorial, from my home. Michael's spirit will shine forever in this vast universe.
I thought it was amazing for CNN to show the complete coverage of Michael Jackson's celebration of life without commercials. In this day of shaky economics, that must have cost a lot without any sponsorship revenue to help cover the cost. My hats off to CNN.
I want to thank CNN and you Anderson for a wonderful, emotional, perfect coverage of Michaels' Memorial today. CNN had the best coverage of all stations and I truly mean that.
Enough already! This story has wasted enough of America's time! Let’s get back to the REAL news. This overplayed story is started to make me mad at CNN. I don’t watch CNN so I can hear celebrity gossip. I watch CNN for news about the wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, or the protests in China and Iran. I don’t watch CNN for this garbage. I am sick of Michael Jackson. It was only a couple years ago where he was labeled as 'Wacko Jacko', now everyone is crying. This is ridiculous, has America gone crazy?
I am impressed how CNN has covered the death of Michael Jackson. Anderson Cooper is fantastic and it has changed my view of CNN. His sensitivity to this man and family was incredible, maybe because his own background from a famous family, but you have a new viewer.
Anderson, you and your staff were incredible today. You gave us all the information we needed yet allowed us to feel like we actually attended the MJ Memorial live! Thank you
