I don't see double standards here because you have many direct sources here if you remove all the media.
Fact: Katherine left the house for attending concerts, she ended up in AZ in a spa.
Fact: Multiple Jacksons ( confirmed by Paris, Prince, TJ, Marlon etc) did not know Katherine's exact location or how to reach to her.
Fact: Katherine has not talked to children for 10 days. It might be doctor's orders, some people cutting her communications or she's willingly not communicating with anyone.
Fact: When children wanted to talk to Katherine, their request was denied (Prince's text message screenshot)
Fact: Multiple Jackson siblings came to the Calabasas residence and a disturbance happened. cops called, police report is filed, TJ requested a ban list.
Fact: Unknown security people came to the house (TJ's court filing)
Fact: A judge was highly disturbed by all of these so he ordered an independent investigation into the matter.
So in short it's one thing media fabricates stories for sales and money but it's a whole different case when you have direct sources, lawyers, court filing, police reports telling you a story with established facts.
