I am so disappointed in TMZ. They have been reporting so well about MJ lately, being very respectful and keeping their speculations to a minimum. And then they come out with this bogus story?
MJ Pushed Dr. To Improperly Give Son Anesthesia 1/13/2011 1:00 AM PST by TMZ Staff
TMZ has learned ... Michael Jackson subjected one of his children to the same risky medical treatment that eventually killed him.
Sources tell TMZ ... Michael cajoled a Las Vegas dentist into performing a procedure on Blanket in July, 2008, that involved putting the boy under anesthesia for 2 hours in a dental office that did not have the necessary permit for anesthesia.
TMZ has obtained internal documents from the Nevada Board of Dental Examiners, which detail Michael Jackson's interactions with Dr. Mark Tadrissi. According to the documents, Tadrissi told Michael he couldn't perform the procedure on Blanket because he lacked the permit.
According to the Board's investigator, Michael didn't want to hear about permits and told the doctor, "Have an anesthesiologist do whatever type of sedation required."
Tadrissi capitulated and performed the 2 hour procedure on Blanket ... who was 6 years old at the time. An anesthesiologist had Blanket sedated the entire time.
Now here's where it gets mysterious. The Board -- which learned of Tadrissi's actions after Michael died -- initiated a disciplinary action against Tadrissi for allowing Blanket to be anesthetized in his office. The Board also went after Dr. Tadrissi for allowing Michael to receive Propofol in his office, without the proper permit.
Dr. Tadrissi struck a deal with the Board in 2010 in which he was sanctioned. In a draft of the report, the Board based the sanctions on his treatment of both Blanket and Michael. But in the final version of the report Blanket was taken completely out -- there is no mention of the boy or his treatment.
One source connected with the investigation tells TMZ ... pressure was put on the Board to omit Blanket from the report, and when the final version was issued, the discipline was based solely on Michael's treatment.
++++++
They object to Michael agreeing to dental surgery for his own son? How outrageous that they would spin this innocent situation into something criminal! Below are my comments to their post, and thankfully, there are a lot more comments defending Michael as a concerned parent too!
++++++
Nothing wrong was done here, TMZ! Michael was just agreeing to dental surgery for his son, that is all. What any other parent would do when discussing medical procedures with a doctor for their child. MJ insisted on an anesthesiologist for surgery, which is right and proper.
Shame on you TMZ, for putting a "slant" on this story, and it shouldn't even be a story. It's really none of our, or your business!

I was so disappointed to see that story too. So disappointed in TMZ to make this sound like something it isn't. As far as I know it is standard to put children under anesthesia for dental procedure that take this long. For the pain, so they don't have to go through this experience that must seem horrifying to a child and how are you going to get a 6 year old boy to sit still for 2 hours? My daughter needed a minor procedure done last year when she was 4, a procedure that grown ups go through without anesthesia but because she was a child and because of the reasons I mentioned above she was put under anesthesia. What kind of a parent would have said No? At least Michael made sure that an anesthesiologist was there to do it. I'm glad to hear people are defending him in the comments to the story. I never read the comments on TMZ anymore, there are just too many haters hanging around that site.

OMG, here we go again!!! Is there any reason one is supposed to believe TMZ's sources? Your newspaper is widely known as tabloid trash, same as the british SUN and some german Newspapers. You do not even type what kind of surgery little Blanket had to go through. What was wrong with him, shouldn't you know, since you brag about having obtained internal documents from the Nevada Board of Dental Examiners? And what sedatives were used? Children have to be be under anesthestia for surgery. A local anesthesia will not help for severe cronic pain, or a severe panic/fear from the child. In some cases one have to give the children dormicum. Btw. WHAT you'll find in a dentist office are anesthestics. The child can seems to be very cooperative, but might have strong gag reflexes which make it extreme difficult for the doctor to fix what is wrong. This article TMZ, is nothing else than storm in a waterglass. we all know by now that Michael Jackson was a very responsible and caring father. Your news are not news, but you make it into something "dirty".
(My response to TMZ, but i don't think i got it posted).

Well it's clear this assault on Michael's character is a lot bigger than my little Rant, as the fans are ANGRY so I'm moving this thread to Victories & the Fight for Justice. The more I think about it and once I saw Deborah Ffrench's email, it makes me wonder who Harvey Levin is working for anyway. The Defense??? Here's Deborah's email... please help us by calling or writing to Margaret Lodise... TMZ are today running a horrific story about Michael supposedly authorizing an illegal use of anesthesia on Blanket. Sub-text of story? MJ so drug addled he did not protect his children. Long term sub-text: MJ is evil therefore the ending of life by Dr Murray does not merit legal sanction. At the same time stories are now appearing promoting Dr Murray as an needed asset to his patients in Texas. The Defense is clearly gearing up PR before the trial. This is what needs to happen: Margaret G. Lodise is Guardian At Litem for Michael's kids. Please write to her at t.co/ZRAzrfi & inform her of TMZ's story. She will be horrified by the story and may be able to kill it so it does not go beyond day one. If a huge influx of people contact her office, she will contact the estate and deal with the situation - legally. Her phone details are also at that link provided above along with fax and email. Please do NOT go to TMZ and leave angry comments. Traffic is what they want. Clicks increase their visit figures and send a message to those who advertize on TMZ that TMZ is a hot site. Direct your attention to contacting Margeret Lodise and the Estate if any of you have that contact. Margaret's Lodise's contact details are as follows: 350 South Grand Ave Suite 3500 Los Angeles, California 90071-3475 Her direct line is: 213-617-2049 Her email is: info@trustlitigation.la If we could all do this today that would be great. Thank you. D.

Looks like TMZ have desaturated the picture of Blanket, in that article, so he shall look as sick as possible. And faded the desaturation on his picture untill 60%. What on the earth are they up to now? I opened the picture in PHotoshop cause i found the skincolor to Blanket to be grey and weird. I think it's Paris behind him. Media often use pictures to their articles, and they are then searching for pictures which are supposed to reflect the article. I am sure you know about it already. But this is the most powerfull tool to use to reinforce the contents of the articles. I added some color, quick: From TMZ What do you guys think about media and how it works? I've studied media for some years, and witnessed how they build up a lie, right in front of their readers. Some few will reveal this technique, but most people don't.

Norild, you're right! I noticed that too, because Blanket's picture looked fine before. Interesting how TMZ works, isn't it? I see how they are working this now... they want all MJ fans to go to TMZ... the more clicks they get, the more their advertisers will pay them. So fans are now calling for a boycott of TMZ... wonder how I can change the thread subject? Hmmm. Anyway, for those who like TMZ regardless because they post MJ news first, and I'm one of them, I have an alternative. Go to Twitter and do this: Follow united4mjlegacy Then unfollow @harveylevintmz & @tmz ...and send me a tweet. I will RT and follow you back #boycottTMZ I'm doing that right now, and by the way I don't follow Harvey or TMZ anyway.

Why am I NOT suprised in TMZ? That is exactly why I try to avoid going to their website at all, they're nothing more than tabloid TV and I avoid the comments section all together because of the ignorant haters.
I will be emailing Margaret Lodise TODAY, I'm sick of this tabloid crap!!

I am most definitely boycotting TMZ from now on! Norild, you are so right about that photo of Blanket. It looks so strange, they have obviously changed the color in it. I also don't like that they use this picture of Michael in this particular context. I've always thought he looks so sad in it, but it seems to me they are using it to make him seem sinister somehow, his face half-hidden like that, as if he has something to hide. Hate that!

You are so right. They try to make him look "creepy". A trap non-fans will fall into. I hope as many fans as possible will boycott TMZ after this article! And Mal, I suggest we boycott SUN as well. Everytime I've come over an article of Michael Jackson, they call him "jacko", still, after all these years. Randy tweeted how he hated that name, and we know Michael disliked it too.

Norild, we fans boycott the London Sun anyway, which is one of those stupid tabloid rags. The Sun is the LAST place I would go for any MJ news, and we would never post any of their articles here anyway. Charles Thomson just wrote a brilliantly worded article chastising TMZ for their sensationalized story - check it out! www.sawfnews.com/Gossip/66107.aspxThank you Charles, for being a Vanguard for Michael!

TMZ is sick and they have always been a mask. For as long as I remember they have used MJ as a tool to get more money. Their stories are meant to draw attention to the subject of Michael Jackson since he gets the most buzz. They always use the wrong pictures, and the photoshop is done to paint a horrific image. It's sick!
I am so overwhelmed I have so much to be caught up too, I am still in Sweden BUT I can not wait to handle all of this when I return on the 26th!
Until then Much more love to all of you all! AND Let's come together to stop the foolishness of this sensationalized lie promoted by all of those who are victims of this perverse lie to gain a profit!
Jesse

TMZ is a money making machine. Remember Michael said not to believe anything you read from tabloids. The tabloid trash usually are sold to uneducated - " ignorant"people.

Charles Thomson, who has lately been so unjustly attacked by MJ fans, is speaking out, and just tweeted the following: How Google News accidentally listed me as the author of an article on TMZ: tinyurl.com/6adxn93I will be posting a good idea on how we MJ fans can support Charles, and how to spread the word about him right away!

He has been unjustly attacked for a long time. I remember he simply locked his blog for a while. Thanks to fans of Michael he came back to us and his work is very very important. Let's support him!

This was just posted on Twitter today (January 22nd) by our new member group, Fans United 4 MJ! To all MJ fans, In recent weeks, we have noticed TMZ has been posting some very damaging stories about Michael Jackson and / or his beloved children. A group of MJ fans have come together to raise awareness on how we, Michael Jackson's fans, are helping TMZ destroying his legacy by visiting their website, posting comments and sharing their links. We have two important MJ fansites, MJ's Army & mjnewsalerts.com monitoring TMZ.com for you. All their reports will be quickly reposted on these two fansites and you can go there to read the stories & leave comments as you wish. We are doing this for you & for the protection of MJ's legacy, so you don’t have to keep giving tmz hits. Hits = money. If you stop visiting their website, they will finally get it: Negative & made up stories by Conrad Murray's legal team to make MJ look bad is simply unacceptable. The only pain they can feel is financial. Time to take a stand against media bias and exploitation of MJ. More information is available here: www.filthytabloidtrash.com/category/tmz-trash/Please stop rewarding the continuous abuse of Michael Jackson & his legacy on TMZ's website. Thank you.
