So apparently Michael Jackson really was sick

[Greens]

Of course the big news outlets are ignoring this.

 

[Reek]

There are bigger Michael Jackson issues going on, apparently.

Did MJ have any pics of white men in driveways?

Of course the big news outlets are ignoring this.

Well... Let's be honest... I think most of the public made their minds up about Jackson A LONG TIME AGO. I think they know a lot of the reaction might well be: "And?" There are actually big stories around now, the BREXIT, the Trump campaign, the Orlando shooting aftermath and investigation, the gun vote in the American congress... And that's just English language news.

I'm pretty sure most Americans care more about Michael Jackson than BREXIT.

I wonder if any of this will wind up in the routines of would be impersonators.....

You say this as someone from the Netherlands?



Look my point is there's no conspiracy. Years ago, or immediately after MJ's death this would be a bigger story but as I said I think by now a lot of people will just shrug. And the stories I mentioned are actually the news media doing their job for once. These are important stories and not just tabloid fodder I listed. I'd rather the attention of my country be on things like picking our next leader and the status of our ally in regards to the EU than a dead singer whom most people thought was a pedo in the first place and had made that decision about him more than a decade ago.

You overestimate the media. Every time a celeb lets out a fart it's a news story in the entertainment section. I'm not saying this should be on the front page.

I believe what I said implied that the American media actually covering things of import rather than tabloid scandal was refreshing so...


Also... Well what are you saying? Your first post came off as though you were surprised the bigger media outlets weren't leading with this and forgive me but there seemed an intimation there that there were nefarious reasons for it, "Of course...". So what is it exactly?

The anniversary of his death is coming up. Connect the dots.

Now I am REALLY lost man... They are ignoring this BECAUSE of the anniversary of his death? But... That's actually a reason TO cover it? Again... Which is it? Are the media a ravenous pack of hyenas that will as you said cover anything celebrity related for ratings and clicks, or are they a part of a conspiracy to salvage Michael Jackson's reputation for some reason or at least paper over this eruption of bad news for the MJ legacy (and his heirs) for reasons including that the date of his passing is coming up?

 

[dude stannis]

I think we should merge both MJ threads. They're veering on similar territory.

I don't give a **** honestly. It was an off-hand comment.

You're putting words in Greens mouth.

And if you do it again, I'll cut you. And burn you. And make such an end of you that the bards in the Neverland Ranch will shudder in terror for the next thousand years.

Y'hear?

Y'HEAR?!?

If this continues the media will have to not cover this thread... It's getting close to the anniversary of the first MJ Impersonator thread's closing... Connect the dots.

Meanwhile, the anniversary of the martial arts thread passed like a gust of wind in a graveyard.

Indeed. Of course the big media outlets won't cover it's lack of posters.

If this was true they would have found him guilty. They didn't. They searced the house and didn't find anything. They did find normal porno and I can't see anything wrong with that. He had some art books with images of children but they were just art books.

 

[Reek]

I find plenty wrong with him having porn. any one with half a brain has been to spankwire and knows how to delete history

Bad people go free sometimes. Doesn't mean they aren't awful people. Maybe the judge ruled the evidence inadmissible for some reason. Or money changed hands.

 

[Drizzle]

Bill Clinton, OJ Simpson, Bill Cosby, MJ. All said they didn't do it. Some were found not guilty even. But just because your not quilty doesn't mean you are innocent. Just not enough evidence for conviction.

Don't put Bill Clinton in that category. Not saying I agree with adultery but getting a beej in the oval office is nowhere near as bad as what OJ, Cosby or now even MJ did.

I'm pretty sure most Americans care more about Michael Jackson than BREXIT.

I'm pretty sure most Americans have no clue what BREXIT even is

I'm surprised there is not a single thread about it in either the political or community forums. But then, most people here probably don't even know what it's about.

There is a thread in the political forums and I have seen multiple segments on TV and cable news as well as coverage daily in both WSJ and NYTIMES which I assume is covered as well in their online content. John Oliver did a segment on his show about it as well and he's often on the front page of YouTube.

If this Brexit thing affects us, then yeah. It sounds like we don't really have a stake, that's the thing.
