That's true, but also I think that the media ignores the fact or refuses to report on his charity work because of all the scandals. Reporting this wouldn't fit in with their "creepy/monster" image of Michael that they keep trying to push, so I believe that's one of the reasons his charity work is so ignored. At the end of the day though, Michael knows what he's done and that he's given back and so does everyone else who follows him so that's all that really matters.
