The medias have been very destructive in his case by simply reporting instead of investigating the allegations. <br />In a greedy frenzy, they swallowed contaminated info to spit out a deadly poison. <br />Still doing so 4 weeks after his passing... it is no wonder that MJ chose to create and retreat in his own world filled with love and innocence. <br />A legacy of genuine concerns for the entire welfare of the planet is forever engraved in his musical work.<br />When will the medias start exploiting the positive instead of the negative and contribute to make the world a better place?abanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14634032195125687141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31864694.post-19859118969299509862009-06-27T05:57:49.741-06:002009-06-27T05:57:49.741-06:00Michael Jackson was a high profile individual. The...Michael Jackson was a high profile individual. The media is a very powerful and cunning tool. It stirs the emotions of the majority of viewers who refuse to apply logic and believe everything spoon-fed to them. Most of us know the lengths detectives and prosecutors will go to in order to present a 'believable' (yet false) presentation. <br /><br />There were many devious people out to destroy Michael for financial gain. It's hard to believe that parents were willing to use their own children to fabricate on the witness stand. Those in CPS and law enforcement knew the level of deceit that was going on, but encouraged it anyway simply because they didn't *like* Michael Jackson. As citizens we are constantly under the gun of their sinister avidity for convictions. (Far worse in the United States than any other country on the planet.)<br /><br />Michael had a child-like quality about him that made him vulnerable in a society that lusts for persecution. It gave them an excuse to feel holier-than-thou.<br /><br />I always shook my head in disbelief when Michael attempted to explain sleeping with children and it felt it was blown out of context. The suspicion of character assassination is upon those who choose to read -sleeping with children- as sexual abuse. The shame lies with the focus society has on their own exaggerated obsession with sex.<br /><br />As parents, most of us have cuddled our children in bed to comfort and wipe away the fear of nightmares. I suppose that makes all of us felons/sex offenders. What's next? <br /><br />A sick society broke Michael's heart.<br /><br />As much as his extraordinary talents will be missed, he is at peace now. Long awaited peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
