yes your experience is not unusual.
When it comes to discussing mj the world has gone mad.
Did you see that some journalist posted on twitter that mj had controlled the narrative for the past 35 years! Seriously! What on earth was she smoking?? This woman who is a journalist!! It is beyond outrageous and infuriating to read the media write something like that.
I have a real hard time understanding where the media is coming from.
I only see two options and to be honest both are incomprehesible.
(a) are these people so vindictive, so evil that they knowingly destroy an innocent man, even when they're not being paid to do so?? (they even do it on their personal social media accounts).
Or
(b) are they so stupid that despite working in the most corrupt industry in the world (knowing that they write crap for a living and that it has been going on for years) they actually believe all the crap written about mj?
Similarly celebrities, in particular the ones that have been around for decades, should know by now that the media is corrupt. Most will have been victim to inaccurate reporting and smear campaigns at some point, or at least have been friends with somebody else who was. So why do they (i'm looking at you babs) feel the need to condemn a person based on no evidence?? They need to stfu!
Anyway, because of the media controlling the narrative over the last 35 years general public are so misinformed that they simply cannot open their mind to any other version of events.
I can understand it. They have seen every media outlet report the same repeated lies for decades. The media's story has been so wrong, but in a very consistent way, for so long.
It'll take some real effort to change attitudes
