There is the usual judgemental cr** about Michael, but seriously... Michael has been dead for 5 months, how can someone calling himself a journalist keep on staining his memory by using the terms "*****", "creepy" and by saying that die-hard MJ fans are responsible for what happened to Chandler!! We cannot let this be. I wrote to the journalist. Here is my mail:
Hello,
Doing some research on the news, I fell across your article and I had to write to express my deep consternation. Being a journalist involves being objective, if that concept means anything to you. Seeing the rag you dared to publish I doubt you have any idea of what it means.
Michael Jackson is dead, what is your motivation, to use insults and adjectives making him look like a man he was not? You perpetuate the lie that you created two decades ago, shamelessly, you talk about ?*****?, not Michael Jackson. Who are you to judge? Who are you to call someone ?creepy?, who are you to judge people's admiration for someone and categorize it as excessive or abnormal? Who are you exactly? Are you some sort of omniscient divinity?
Not only, from a purely technical point of view your article is very poorly researched and written, but is also is an insult to intelligence. You use common-places, out-dated facts and you do not even try to wonder why this man you talk about did what he did. He was one of the architects of Michael Jackson's death, like you are. All of you pseudo-journalists who are an insult to that profession and its integrity. I will quote Aphrodite Jones in her book The Michael Jackson Conspiracy: ?Jackson had become an illusion set by a media machine. It was a machine that made millions by perpetuating the notion that Jackson was a freak. It was a dangerous machine that ultimately tried to bring the icon down?. You brought him down in the end, you won.
So why do you have to keep on staining, soiling, ruining his image and his memory? Why do you have to perpetuate the lie now that he is gone? What do you have to win in that? More paper sold? Is this the only thing that matters to you, with the blood you have on your hands?
Maybe Evan Chandler killed himself because his sense of guilt was more acute than yours.
He certainly was the cause of Michael's heavy medication addiction, but you, all of you pseudo-journalists, you pushed again and again, like you did with that parody of an article today. You hurt a deeply sensitive man, a man who had no protection against the world, a man who always was misunderstood by people who should read Rousseau instead of reading the crap you are paid to write. Do you have any knowledge of who is Jean-Jacques Rousseau? Read him, and maybe you will understand who was Michael Jackson. What he tried to defend, in spite of people's blindness and lack for belief in human nature. I am proud to say that I believe in Michael Jackson, that I always will, and that soon enough, my faith in him will be rewarded by the revelation that what you spent decades building to create a fictive character, was indeed fiction and that the man behind all this suffered a martyrdom imposed on him by a fame he did not choose.

It just disgusted me to read this article. I had to post it somewhere and take action for Michael.
