prosodicAfter MJ's death, I became fascinated (and enraged) at how the media covered everything, and what they were willing to say in the interest of ratings and money. I guess it's the former journalism major in me. I know the media twists things. Many times, they are far more interested in getting the viewer's attention than they are in telling the truth. The truth is hardly ever interesting.
I'm glad this guy, Charles Thomson, had the balls to step up and debunk a lot of the ridiculous myths that so many people consider to be truth. Myths that continue to be perpetuated, even after MJ's death.

Anyone who believed in the allegations would have discovered for themselves that MJ was innocent all along, had they bothered to do their own research.
I was always skeptical that he was guilty of anything. And after his death, I did my own research and came to the conclusion that he was innocent. Even a prominent true crime author - Aphrodite Jones - was planning to write a book about the case that painted him to be some horrible monster. But after she researched the facts of the case, she wrote a book (which she published at her own expense - no publisher was interested in publishing a book that proved his innocence. Innocence doesn't sell books.) to try and clear his name.
So anyway, I thought I would link this, for all the people that still make comments that have no basis in fact. And because I'm so freaking sick of the media and their false reporting. It happens all the time, but this is probably one of the best examples of it.
