I agree with almost every word.

I'm glad this has its own thread.

I wish Thomson would make a full-blown documentary detailing everything he wrote in that article. This needs to be read/seen everywhere.

In the meantime, this new documentary with similar content as Thomson's article was just released yesterday. It's called "The Trials Of Michael Jackson," and it's being shown on a channel called "Documentary Channel" on DISH Network and DirectTV:

Their site: http://thetrialsofmichael.../index.php

I love it when people reveal the true story like this.

Oh dear,I really appreciate the video and link.

Ive been googling for stuff like this all day,to show someone else.

Oh,and I have seen the docu last night and I enjoyed it too.

I'm hoping it will be uploaded on YouTube or something, 'cause I don't have the Documentary Channel. I've never even heard of that station before.

Lol,did you hear about the new MJ video game that comes out this Fall?

Yeah, I believe the coverage of Michael Jackson's Trial may not have been fair.

But to compare it to a public lynching is insane.

I remember reading about a new MJ game a few weeks or days before the tragedy happened , but I haven't read about an actual season/date it will be released since then. If it's really coming out this fall, WOW, that's going to be excellent!

I cant wait for it. Sounds very exciting!

Unfortunately,I dont have any money to be worrying about a video game:-|

Figuratively speaking, it might as well be that. To completely tarnish a man's image, reputation and goodwill for the whole world to see, without showing in the same emphasis that there were proofs after proofs of his innocence is def a classic case of a media lynching.

Yet, we have scums like Roman Polanski who was convicted of statutory rape but get the full support from the elite hollywood circle,,,,and the few ones who don't wanna speak out, are the ones who don't wanna jeopardize their next gigs.

Interesting isn't it?

Right, like Michael Jackson didn't have his fair share of high profile supporters.

The whole trial was a circus.

From Michael dancing on an SUV, to showing up in his pajamas, to this genius....

You act like everyone in Hollywood came to Polanski's defense. How are you gonna compare coverage of the trial of the one of the most famous people in the world to Roman Polanski?

Why is this even an issue? Michael Jackson was found Not Guilty.
