Dorthy is correct: some people, especially journalists, make a conscious decision to tear down others in classic examples of Tall Poppy Syndrome (Google for it) and Bashir has emerged as its most vicious proponent.

You disgusting excuse for a human being. You have no idea who Michael Jackson is. You, like countless other mindless lemmings, believe everything written by MSM about this wondrous being known as Michael Jackson. Talk about a rotting core. You, young lady, need to examine your own soul and maybe, in your spare time from judging others you haven't even met, read up on the life of Michael Jackson, who is one hundred fold more the human being than you could ever hope to be. Your parting shot says it all. "You be the judge." Alright. I am judging...YOU. You're a despicable, loathsome, judgmental, horrifying carrier of what's supposed to be a heart. Ugh. You disgust me.

To all you haters on this board, you should be ashamed of yourselves! You will be judged one day as you have judged Michael Jackson.

I invite all of you to read a beautifully insightful article about Michael. No links are allowed here, so Google for "elites tv michael jackson wounded messenger." Then please join the conversation there. It's a no hate zone.

Then ponder Michael's body of work and ask yourself, "Have I [Hater] brought even a small fraction of as much joy to the world?

Well, have you?
