as for the coverage, it's there because this is the death of one of the world's most famous people, a global superstar that transcended racial prejudice, connected with the entire world (minus 7 wickedire users) through his music and innovated almost every aspect of what is considered entertainment today...
he's one of the most controversial people that has ever existed, sold more albums than any other artist in history and received more press than any human being on earth due to his other-wordly talent, odd lifestyle and one-of-a-kind'ness.
your post is trite, annoying and obviously an attempt at getting some attention in this forum.
if you don't understand why there's a couple of weeks of media coverage to cover the death of a person like this... i'd say - you're a fucking idiot.

My 61yo uncle died the day after Michael Jackson. He had a complication after having a bowel cancer operation 2 weeks prior. His body poisoned itself after the surgeon fucked up and didn’t internally sew up the bowel properly after removing part of it. All his limbs turned black and it got to the point where if he had survived, he would have had his legs amputated below the knee and arms below the elbow. He was on a ventilator and his family along with my mother (his sister) decided to turn off the ventilator and he died an hour later. I attended the funeral last week.
I don’t expect any of you to care and I’m not asking you to. MJ being on TV doesn’t take anything away from my uncle’s death.
Although I’m not a massive music fan (of any music in general really), I liked MJ’s music and know that he had a massive impact on the world. I don’t think the coverage of his death or funeral was overdone or overexposed and I’m not bitter because he's on TV and my uncle wasn't.
