I don't know about other celebrities but it feels like Michael gets hated on the most. It can feel so overwhelming at times.
Well, In the United States, it is no where other than the Tom JOyner website.
since they are talking about weitzman in this mess also, that's all the more reason that he could sue and show that these reports are false in the process. If he can't sue for michael, he could at least sue for himself.

FBI investigated Michael Jackson for 10 years

Police in the southern California city where pop star Michael Jackson stood trial on child molestation charges called in the FBI because they feared he might become a terrorist target.
The Santa Maria police were afraid the court case would be a "soft target" for terrorism, according to documents released by the FBI on Tuesday after a freedom of information request.
Federal agents had been looking into Jackson's alleged involvement with young boys for nearly 10 years before that 2003 arrest, the documents show.
They also had looked into death threats against Jackson by a man obsessed with his sister, Janet, as far back as 1992.
The FBI released 333 pages of documents related to the late pop singer on Tuesday that date from 1992 to 2005.
At the molestation trial, FBI eventually concluded there was little risk of terrorism, although they noticed that a Nation of Islam follower and New Black Panther Party member, both unnamed in the files released, sat in the gallery in the early part of the trial. Jackson was eventually acquitted of all charges.
The files show FBI had been tipped off by their London, England, office in 1993 of an alleged inappropriate involvement between Jackson and an underaged male. Over the next 10 years, they made several investigations of the pop star, none of which led to charges.
Death threats against Jackson, president
Federal investigators assisted Santa Maria police in combing through computers at Neverland, Jackson's California home, in the molestation case. They also helped customs officials investigate a video suspected to be child pornography.
Neither of those investigations yielded substantive evidence, according to the documents.
FBI also interviewed two former Neverland employees in the Philippines over allegations of Jackson fondling young boys.
But the files released Tuesday contain no major revelations about Jackson's private life and the bureau apparently never developed any solid evidence against him.
They did include death threats against Jackson, then President George H. W. Bush and mob boss John Gotti by Frank Paul Jones, who allegedly was obsessed with Janet Jackson.
Jones was convicted in 1993 in relation to a letter that states: "I decided that because nobody is taking me serious, and I can't handle my state of mind, that I am going to Washington, D.C., to threaten to kill the president of the United States, George Bush."
The letter later says, "Michael [Jackson] I will personally attempt to kill, if he doesn't pay me my money."
Jones was arrested June 22, 1992, after trespassing in the driveway of the Jackson family compound in Encino, Calif.
Jackson, the singer known as the King of Pop, died June 25 at age 50. His death was ruled a homicide and police are still investigating.

The "statement" from the estate is as weak as can be. Song lyrics and telling everyone to go see ONE. There are a million ways all of the Mirror stories could be factually debunked, they could at least remind people how Michael sued the Mirror in the early 90s for libel and eventually the publication had to concede its stories on him were inaccurate. Or link to the actual FBI documents released in 2009 and articles about them that prove Michael had no child porn and support his innocence. But instead they issued a meaningless statement IMHO.
Do not get it twisted. MJ has alot of love. These people who hate on him have too much time on their hands. Believe me, when you hear about other celebs on sites, they get the same treatment from haters. You have to rememeber, everyone who loves MJ is not on this site and they do not stay on the computer and they do not post anything. The proof on how much people love MJ is in his cd sales, his show in vegas sold out, thelove he received AFTER death, the sold out concert in 2009, his merchandise being sold out (I saw a boy with MJ shoes on not long ago). THAT IS THE PROOF. It is said that haters get attention. We know bad news spread better than good news.

There is bbc documentary made in 2003/4 about the '93 accusations. You have the usual tripe form Diane Dimond and other pro prosecution people but it is really interesting regarding the media - they interviewed a lot of journalists that were involved in '93 and they basically admit to the buying of information. At one point one of them says that "..anyone involved in the MJ case knew that this could mean money for them.." and talked about all the maids and bodyguards going to the tabs .. Mary Fisher even shows a contract between the bodyguards and hard copy - hard copy paid them for their bullshit story. So much for Diane saying she never paid people for information.
Paul Baressi is in the documentary and says "..someone just needs to have a story a half truth and you mix it with a little venom and you have a tabloid story"
The really interesting thing is Paul Baressi talks about how he helped the LeMarque's shop a story about Mac - he admits that for £150k they would say MJ's hand was over the pants but for more money they would say MJ's hand was in the pants.
See 3:30 - 4:10 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZny51B9sKs
He even says how they would talk to tabloids and say the most outlandish things but at the same time they would refuse to speak to the police.
That is why we have to email them. Tom is willing to listen but I was angry just morning.I was listening to T Joyner this morning, and he ask each one of his staff if they believe the story and each one said YES. I was done, it destroyed my day. I remember when CR trail ended, Tom Joyner said I didn't watch the trail, but I came away he fact that MJ had big time drug issues.
yep! send it to them
And alot of the public does not believe it. At this point, you either love MJ or not and i think more people love him than hate him but it is the haters who get the attention. During the trial, more people who I came in contact with supported Mj than against, and when he pass, my city was doing all kinds of celebrations and people were talking about it in the store and were sad.Hard to believe? MJ has been acused of the worst crime know to man child molestation. I for one don't have that opinion but a lot of the public does. Just because we don't feel that way we won't ever be able to force people to change their opinions. If anything the wade issue makes it much worse. The estate has to be careful of what they say or do. Especially during this trial.
And this is what fans need to go around and post on any comment, twitter, etc that is talking about this story.What information on FBI files is true then?Why Mirror and all the press didnt release this on their newspaper's cover huh?

Well, I live in the United States in the South and the love for MJ out weight the haters.I'm glad to here that. Unfortunately here where I live in the USA the haters out number us quite a bit I'm afraid. In general people here take the tabloids for what they are trash. In the USA most of the people I come across sat where there's smoke there's fire. Unfortunate with MJ the media creates a ton of smoke.
