LOS ANGELES (AP) ―Nearly two in three Americans say news organizations have given too much coverage to the death of Michael Jackson, but half say the media have struck the right balance between covering the pop star's personal life and musical career.

In a Pew Research Center poll published Wednesday, 64 percent of those surveyed said Jackson's death last week in Los Angeles has received too much coverage, 29 percent said the story received the right amount and 3 percent said the story got too little attention

A marked man...

Mayfield said outside court Wednesday he would travel to Daytona, but wasn’t sure in what capacity. His suspension covered both his roles as driver and owner of his car, and he wasn’t sure he could put something together in time.

Larry Gunselman and Tommy Baldwin, two owners who potentially could have given Mayfield a ride, said they weren’t considering him for Saturday night’s race.

“Whether he’s right, wrong or different right now, he’s marked,” said Baldwin, “and that’s going to hurt him probably for the rest of his career.”

It is a shame that it has to be this way. I am not a Mayfield fan, I think in someways he is a jerk, but I think NASCAR was wrong and have defended him. The 3 ring circus that NASCAR set up for drug testing was an exercise in stupidity. That being said I must agree with Baldwin here. He is going to have a hard time getting any car he drives/owns through inspection much less being noted for infractions on the course. NASCAR has effectivly killed him.

Mayfield Wins against NASCAR ... or does he?
