dim the media spotlight and let the important people heal
Yes, I’m bothered by something and I need to get on my soapbox for a minute…but not for me – for someone else.
As anniversary’s go, it’s a sad day for fans of Michael Jackson.
I imagine it’s almost unbearable for three important people. Still.
I am not a Michael Jackson fan nor am I a hater.
I’m pretty much indifferent…except when it comes to how his children are affected.
None of what continues to be reported in the press needs to be reported in the press. It’s not critical, vital, nor important.
Yet every time it comes up, three important people get exposed to it. Three important people have to read news that viciously reminds them of their father (not icon, not king of pop, not star – father) who they don’t have around them anymore and who they desperately would love to see again.
No. It’s NOT “just the way it is.”
No, that is a lazy-ass excuse for bad behavior (media feeding the mindless public who seem to ingest it all) and I do not accept that behavior.
If the public would stop reading (I have – well, I never started), stop viewing and stop buying vessels carrying Michael Jackson news (that isn’t really news) the media would move on.
That might help three important people to move on as well.
We’re the adults, we’re supposed to look out for children…so pass on it….and pass this message on.
