I looked around briefly to see if anyone else has made a post like this, but I really need to talk about this. I cannot stop watching the news, even though I KNOW that I should. It's literally making me sick to my stomach and giving me terrible anxiety almost to the point of panic attacks.

Some of the news programs that I do watch and can stand are fine...like Larry King Live tonight, I thought was touching. But, tonight I can't sleep and I turned on CNN to find a repeat of Nancy Grace, which put me in this frenzy. I don't get how she is allowed on air. It's making me cry just thinking about it. She is so cruel, and twists stories so much...she assumes and twists things in a way where they could be almost believable. It makes me sick.

I feel like I don't know what to believe anymore and I'm so sad. :(
 
I stopped following the news because it literally made me physically sick, too. The talk about Michael's skin, the trials - it was disgusting to me. Yes, let's all take issue with it now. Those people are pathetic. They think they're so good but what are they actually DOING in the world besides commenting on someone who isn't here anymore? They think they're so tough for commenting on race and children's protection - well go out and do something, don't sit on the news yapping about it. Cowards.

I also try to avoid talk about the custody over the kids. I don't wanna know right now. It's disgusting to me that people are fighting over it already when Michael's practically still half here - in my heart, anyway.

Why don't you try to step away from the television, perhaps unless there is something important like the release of the rehearsalvideo of the pressconference by AEG. Those are things that focus on the now, on Michael and on his funeral. The rest, all that negative talk about skins and trials and children and god knows what won't do you any good. Perhaps you can try to remember Michael for who he really was instead of how he is now being portrayed by the media. I for one watched the rehearsal footage and that's when you see Michael as the dedicated artist he was, singing and touching the core of your soul.

One glimps at say the bucharest concert and you feel what a passionate, loving and dedicated man he was. That's what matters and remembering him that way is I think much more pleasant then heaving to deal with the constant rumours and all. Take care ok.
 
I have tried to stay away from the news and the forum too. I must know the latest updates at all times. I think everyone is on a must know basis. maybe self destructive maybe not...up to the individual.

True. I want to know it all aswell, but for me this is the place to be. Here at MJJC you dont get the skinstuff, the drugaddictions, the trialstuff and whatever else is being brought up again.
So for me the tv is only on when something important like the rehearsal footage is on. The trashtalk I don't need, we've been hearing that forever anyway.
 
I started off watching the news stations - that's all I watched. - now I just watch CNN and stay away from Nancy Grace - she's always been a B**c* - so I don't expect her to change...although I did see Diane Dimond actually almost cry while talking about MJ as a father.

As always - take the tabloid TV statements lightly - the forum is a good place to find out what's going on - just pick and chose the topics and stay out of the tabloid area.

experience ....this is very true. all we have ever heard about Michael is trash talk. Until now some of the media who did talk this are now praising him..Which totally makes me and I am sure others very angry. I truly am trying to avoid the crap. unfortunately in order to try to get some truth out of the media I have to hear the crap too. I think I had better get thicker skin.
 
Thank you guys so much. I really appreciate you listening and giving me feedback. I'm trying to surround myself with the positive and weed out the negative and am doing better for the moment.

If possible try to gather with other fans. It helps to distance yourselfs from the news. You will have understanding ppl to talk to... and also discuss questionable news.
 
I think that everybody has the same problem, including me of course... i cannot stop whatching the news altough i end up crying every time... The most annoying ofcourse is when they start asuming and telling lies about his life but i do not let them touch me because i have seen ***** in interviews and i knew through his eyes and his smile that he was honest and truelly offended and hurt by our cruelty and lies! so do not listen to them just keep him in your heart as he was: honest, sweet, polite, shy, very talented a true legend! ***** you will live for ever in our hearts!

:yes: we'll keep his legacy!
 
Right now, I can not even go into the store. I am tired of the book saying 1958-2009. I started crying. there is just no way around this.

Yeah I know. That's one of the hard things in dealing with the loss of a celebrity, it's everywhere and everyone knows and has their opinions ready before the truth is even known. Take your time with this terrel, and try to tune in on the good things. Perhaps that will make your grieving proces just a tiny bit easier.

I've been glued to the news too. The other night I realized I was watching Anderson Cooper for like the 5th time that night. In a way it was good, it made me laugh, and laughs have been scarce over the last 10 days.

But now that I am connecting with other people who really truly understand what I'm going through right now, I have been able to flip away from the news to a degree. Oh, and when I do watch the news, I try to stick to positive coverage. If it sounds like there's something potentially negative coming up, I switch channels!! No need to get any more upset than I already am.

Amen!
 
I've had the news on almost constantly since Thursday evening. I need to know what's happening, plus I don't want to miss anything since things seem to change often.
 
impossible to escape I guess. They don't even get their information straight. Everything said is twisted billion of times.
