Date: Thursday, November 11, 2004 It’s Not Just About Michael Jackson… But About A Pattern of Disrespect Author: Team MJJsource NEW YORK – To the surprise of his fans at a demonstration in New York today, Michael Jackson called into Fox News to “thank my fans for their strong support over the years.” The phone call with Gerldo Rivera was played for the fans via loudspeakers on the street. Michael Jackson fans demonstrated today over MTV’s refusal to stop airing the Eminem video that demeans Michael Jackson. Unlike MTV, Black Entertainment Television (BET) stopped running it last month, at Mr. Jackson’s request. Mr. Jackson stated regarding Eminem and the video, “It’s demeaning and disrespectful,” Jackson said. “And I also want to make it clear that it’s not just about Michael Jackson but about a pattern of disrespect that he has shown to our community. He needs to stop it, and he needs to stop it now.” Speaking of his deep appreciation for his fans, Michael Jackson said, “Its because of my fans that I am calling in today…. I feel that I have the best fans in the world… I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart…. I love them so so much.” Gerlado Rivera also reiterated his strong support for Mr. Jackson when he said, “Michael, let me just say that I support you because I believe you are getting a raw deal not just by Eminen but in a lot of other aspects of life that I don’t need to mention…” Source: MJJsource
