Behind The Tabloids........


               I was watching a Barbara Walters interview on Michael Jackson and she asked him this question that really caught my attention she said " Is it the presses job to always be kind? " Michael answered- " Their should be some boundaries and they should consider that I have a heart." I totally agree with him !! It's strange how the tabloids and paparazzi are talked about almost as if the stories write themselves and their is no one controlling it. In reality there is a person sitting behind a desk writing these stories. There is a person behind that camera taking as many pictures as they can. I think the problem is that the public gives the media so much power, that they don't even realize it. They purchase the tabloids and It seems like everything the media writes becomes the gospel for so many of them. There are also a lot of tabloids disguising themselves as reliable magazine and news paper resources.That is why it is so hard to convince people of the truth when it actually comes out. If the people writing these articles wanted to be fair and kind in every article; they have the power to do that!
              If the paparazzi wanted to respect Michael's space and not bother him when he is trying to walk down the street; they can do that. I believe that the media is negative most of the time simply because it wants to be. They have way too much control and that has hurt so many people's lives. I believe that is why Michael would say in some interviews that we should have a tabloid burning. He would also tell us to not spend our money on it, because when your buying it; your not buying the truth. I think that we only fuel the fire when we take the time to watch shows like TMZ or buy tabloid magazines. If we didn't they would go out of business and the truth could be left in more professional hands. For all of the non-Mj fans I hope you realize that a lot of the things you have read in the tabloids about Michael have been lies and that you shouldn't buy into it. For all of the fans, there is a message for you on the pillow in the photo which was written by Michael Jackson when he stayed in a hotel !!
