Nice to hear the media calling him Michael Jackson again, Elvis Presly

[phirili]

was not called Druggy Presley; Madonna was not called slacko mado.

The media have really tried mightily to destroy Michael's image.

I really cannot think of another artist who was referred to by such disparaging names in the mainstream media.

1. sorry, I think MJ is ...

responsible for ruining MJ's image. I don't think the others have ever been accused of a crime as serious as MJ.

2. Does any one remember when he was called the

King of Pop? Now they call him "The self-styled King of Pop." As if they had nothing to do with creating that moniker for him.

3. Never convicted of any crime. Supported charities, Helped Black & White

people.

Is Arnold called the gropenegger by mainstream media.

4. Proven Difference

I think that there is a proven difference between a grown man groping a grown woman (not that it's right) and a grown man having sleep overs (proven part) with young boys and sexually molesting them (unproven part).

5. this is like Jackson's lawyer saying yesterday

(paraphrase)."We won't allow anyone to besmirch his reputation'...at best he's a seriously disturbed person with a severe attachment to surgery...at worst tack 'child molestor' on the end of that...not sure how you could hurt his reputation

[phirili]

6. Imagine how much more successful Michael would have been without the

negative labels.

[stopthegop]

7. or without the general freakiness

he's a sick guy ... at best
