Dear Katherine: There are two more clips I saw recently, sort of "positive" about Michael Jackson. The first one is Whoopi Goldberg defending Michael on the talk show "The View", on ABC television after his death. "The View" is a morning talk show hosted by 4 female hostesses, I never liked the show when I was in the US, 'cause those four women were simply TOO NOISY and couldn't stop talking....and the way they criticize everything is simply too subjective for me. But I know housewives and moms love this show, that's why it has been on the air for over 12 years now. But, why now, Whoopi? Maybe she was already brave enough to defend him on this show....but, still, Why not EARLIER, when Michael Jackson still got a second chance to live like a respected human being? <320.gif><320.gif><320.gif> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sxNGQEY1heM The next one is from "Good Morning, America", hosted by Diane Sawyer, talking about MJ's skin disorder and its possible effects on a patient's health. Diane Sawyer has interviewed MJ in the mid-90s, at least twice (as far as I can remember), one was the famous one in 1995, with Lisa-Marie Presley upon their first- year marriage anniversary. The other was in MJ's recording studio, talking about his music-making. Even though Ms. Sawyer has talked to Michael one-on-one, she still remained negative about MJ, like most of the journalists in the media. This clip is the only one I've seen she finally viewed MJ as an ordinary person and showed some sympathy for his health problem. .....WHY SO LATE? WHY DIDN'T THE MEDIA BELIEVE HIM WHEN HE FIRST REVEALED HIS HEALTH PROBLEM? Again, the man you tripped to the ground was dead, and no second chance for him now. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mX0ItcAIeIY It's not only about Michael Jackson, in general, I despise those who love to twist the facts and make something profitable to themselves. It happens all the time in our society, ALL THE TIME!! Michael Jackson was just an easy target 'cause he lived in the spotlight. I always consider a person like Michael Jackson an ordinary living soul, with extraordinary ability, but as vain,superficial, vulnerable and confused as we all are. He was no saint or near to being perfect. He made mistakes and bad judgement, he lied sometimes for his personal reasons....although I believe it's NOBODY'S BUSINESS on some discussions about his private life, including his sexuality---as a human being, I can totally identify with him even he "slipped" sometimes or having inappropriate thoughts--that's just being human, maybe not the way MJ wanted his fans to see him, but he was just blood and flesh. I've finished reading the book about his 2005 trial. Share my thoughts with you next time. Talk soon. --
