Screaming fans Greet Jackson with Hugs in London – MiniBullet#33

Screaming fans Greet Jackson with Hugs in London – MiniBullet#33
Media greets him with disgusting contempt and disrespect

MARCH 21 2007 – Despite certain news outlets’ attempts to convince the public that Michael Jackson is irrelevant and has no fans, events all over the world continue to illustrate how purposely misleading their reports appear to be.

Reading and watching all of the online news coverage — mostly from the Associated Press — both from Japan and {tag London} sparked by Jackson’s visits this month, it’s difficult to come away thinking that Jackson is on his way down as far as popularity is concerned or that the media’s credibility is on it’s way up as far as respect is concerned.

Did the recent news stop the {tag Daily Mail} and DailyIndia.com from lacing recent reports with dubious information about the reason for Jackson’s recent visit to London? Hell no!

Neither source is particularly known to be a bastion of accurate Michael Jackson news. Both agencies preferred to refer to him as ‘Jacko’, which has become equivalent to a hackneyed expletive, at least among some in the fan community.

Rita Cosby OUT after Jackson -coated Start at MSNBC – MiniBullet#32

Rita Cosby OUT after Jackson -coated Start at MSNBC – MiniBullet#32

MARCH 17 2007 – {tag Rita Cosby} "gets it", but this time it wasn’t an attention-grabbing story.  What she seemingly got was "the boot" right out the door at MSNBC.

Mediabistro is reporting that Cosby’s last day will be March 31 2007, as {tag MSNBC} apparently decided not to renew her contract.  This comes long after her show, Live and Direct, was canceled.

News like this ordinarily wouldn’t matter at all to me except for the fact that Cosby chose to ride the "Michael Jackson scandal" train to the launch of her then-new show at MSNBC in 2005.

Stella’s Column: Jamie Foster Brown in Japan with MJ

Stella’s Column March 13, 2007 BY STELLA FOSTER Sun-Times Columnist THE SCOOP: My brilliant sister Jamie Foster Brown, publisher of Sister2Sister magazine, was the sole press person traveling in Tokyo with pop star Michael Jackson and his entourage — which included his mother, Katharine Jackson, and his three children, Paris, Prince and Blanket. Jamie, who like me hails from Englewood on the South Side, called this reporter from Japan and had this to say: “It has been amazing to see how people will risk life and limb darting in and out of traffic on foot to get a glimpse of Michael or to touch him. The fans in Japan literally inhale him,” Jamie said. “He is very accommodating … very happy, kissing and hugging folks and letting them hold him and hug him.”

[b]Michael Jackson greets troops in Japan[/b] posted by: Dan Boniface , Web Producer created: 3/10/2007 10:16:47 AM Last updated: 3/10/2007 10:17:34 AM TOKYO (AP) – Michael Jackson greeted thousands of U.S. troops and their family members at a U.S. Army base south of Tokyo Saturday. Jackson was taking a break from days of parties with die-hard fans and well-heeled business people. About 3,000 troops and their family members gathered at a fitness center at Camp Zama. Jackson walked around shaking hands and exchanging words to thank them for their service. “Those of you in here today are some of the most special people in the world,” Jackson told the crowd, reading from a statement. “It is because of you in here today, and others who so valiantly have given their lives to protect us, that we enjoy our freedom.”
