Primetime Justice on HLN...ugh

Did anyone else watch the Prince one year later ep of Primetime Justice on HLN? The host was so sleezy. She just kept trying to get Mayte to say something salacious. I thought Mayte handled herself well and was very classy. But man this show left a bad taste in my mouth.

Why do former associates go on these shows anyway? They have to know damn well, they are not going to do a show about his philanthropy or his creative process as a musician. I can't even get mad at HLN.

Wow, talk about an agenda, that interviewer was pushing the drug thing hard (among other things), anything less than Mayte saying he sprinkled coke on his fruity pebbles every morning was simply unacceptable.

Mayte kept her composure better than I would have.

If you live in the USA you've probably seen the Elizabeth Thomas case aka The Teacher Kidnapped Student that's been on the news for a month.

HLN/CNN has two reporters staying in a hotel that I due security for part time and I can tell you that this case is being way overblown in the media with the media reporting that it's an abduction and ot a statutory rape case.

I told the HLN people that that Prince death story was tabloid in nature and the reporter here said they had to make it like that to get ratings. She told me that several of the people interviewed said they knew Prince had an arthritic hip condition but they cut those parts.

---Of course they cut it out no one cares if he was in pain. Like I said if the family cares about his image they will start to speak up because right now it is all about sensationalizing to get ratings.

I watched that Prince special on HLN. I didn't think they really had anything new to report.

I mentioned that he could have had arthritic hip condition a long time ago. It is not a joke and it can put you in a wheel chair and no surgery will help. Like I said before by this time his family knows more about his medical issues and they need to speak up.

Oh God, no! Really?! I did not see that.
