Rolling the dice for a scoop

The media frenzy following the death of Michael Jackson has been discussed in depth, and done to death, elsewhere. I planned to completely ignore the topic, but today, @suzzaneyada posted a link via Twitter to an interesting post on the LA Times website, asking what would have happened had TMZ been wrong. Did TMZ and others really know, or did they just roll the dice? I know I didn’t accept the fact until the PA report confirmed the facts.

I don’t really want to weigh in on the tired topic of the troubled artist, but from a media perspective, I think the question is important.
