Michael Jackson trial verdict coverage

News 24 are showing live pictures of an ice rink with a woman falling over repeatedly, rather than focussing on the Jacko situation.

Well, they did want to be distinctive.

Oh my lord. He has the flu.

Jesus.

He'll be dead within the hour.

I thought he was already dead?!

Are we sure its the flu and not the rather more serious influenza?

The ITV Evening News spoke to MSNBC correspondent Jennifer London in Santa Maria.

You have to read the thread about the Pope having flu to understand the reference!

Blimey, is this trial ever going to start?
Are Jacksons team just stalling until retires or dies of old age?

Well that press conference was a bit of a farce. No doubt all those phone lines will now be jammed with fans.

Did the spokeswoman realise she was on live TV around the world?
