Comments on: Michael Jackson and Privacy http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2009/07/michael-jackson-and-privacy.html The Law, the Universe, and Everything Sat, 21 Nov 2009 21:19:19 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.3 hourly 1 By: Sharon McEachern http://www.concurringopinions.com/archives/2009/07/michael-jackson-and-privacy.html/comment-page-1#comment-64540 Sharon McEachern Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:38:35 +0000 http://www.concurringopinions.com/?p=18055#comment-64540 I don't think many of Michael Jackson's family members or friends really desired privacy in their grief. It's not just that scores readily accepted interviews on CNN and other news media , and you'll note how their comments are now changing regarding drugs and his physical appearance; but, it has just been revealed to the public that the Jackson family had been filming a reality show for A&E network for weeks prior to Michael's death.Somehow I don't buy their "give us some privacy in our grief" comments when it's said repeatedly on many TV news shows. They want face time (which will later result in money) not private grief time. And now we have the Burr Oak Cemetery tragedy outside of Chicago, where more than 300 graves were robbed, bodies dismembered and thrown in a mass pit at the historic African-American cemetery. Hundreds of news media have been filming the thousands of desperate and grieving family members, especially the mothers who can't find any graves whatsoever in the "Babyland" section of the cemetery. Two really good articles, among the thousands written this week on Burr Oak, are: http://www.ethicsoup.com/2009/07/burr-oak-cemetary-mama-where-are-you-theyve-robbed-your-grave.html http://www.ethicsoup.com/2009/07/where-is-emmett-tills-coffin-where-are-the-babyland-graves-.html I don’t think many of Michael Jackson’s family members or friends really desired privacy in their grief.
