Re: Jacksons & intervention claims (Read post#22 letter by Katherine & others DENYING interventions)
Hi Memefan,
Thanks for the update and I appreciate your dedication to what you believe in. I have a suggestion and I readily admit that it's unconventional and maybe ill advised but why not contact tabloid reporter Roger Friedman? If you want to expose the devil, sometimes its necessary to go to his house. All of the intervention stories began in the tabloid press and were later picked up by mainstream outlets. Roger seems to be a sounding board used to push an agenda by some any many of the addiction stories began with Roger. As shady and unreliable as he is, even Roger exposed Joe and Leonard Rowe's plans to insert themselves in the TII concerts and he wrote an article in which he described Katherine Jackson as "pimping out" MJ's kids to GMA. I think it will be an uphill battle trying to convince a respected journalist to investigate this. Besides, what better way to expose a lie than to use the same person who spread it? Roger can reveal who gave him these stories, if he investigated any of the claims prior to reporting them and the motivation behind the claims. The only problem is, can we trust Roger about anything because he is a known liar, lol.
You are the second person to suggest Friedman.
His history with MJ is murky & very bias...I understand since MJ's death, he's
been less of an ass***e (I'm not willing to write "fair" & "truthful" yet)...And his audience is not big & diverse enough.
My first choice was Nekesa Mumbi, she is an entertainment reporter for the Associated Press. We reached out to her, but our impression was she is not into these big family dramas... She mostly reports on the music scene & movies..but since AP's stories are picked up by many local & international outlets, we wanted her.
She acknowledged our piece, but nothing more.
We also reached out to Raymond Bain, we sent her clips of her Access Hollywood interview denying the addiction stories...and just asked that she agrees to a quick phone conversation with us. Nada.
I know she hates Randy Jackson (probably more than I do ...if that's even possible lol) and thought her hate for Randy & a few other Jacksons is stronger than her disdain for MJ fans. Hmmmm...
I am not surprised. She probably hates MJ fans too (lol) ..because of these loonies "ganging" up on her after she filed that 40Mil lawsuit.
Before I even told her why I was reaching out to her for, I apologized for every nasty things some fans sent and/or said about her. because I have era some of them. smdh
Anyway, back to square one.
Geraldo might be the next step...but he is an attention whore and is friendly with Randy ..and other Jacksons. Blah. I'm not even gonna bother with him.
May be mean, but I need someone who sees the Jacksons for who they really are...some fans can't even see it, so it's hard to expect others to.
