HI ALL!!! Long time since I have had a chance to contribute here, and tonight I am just stopping in to share an email from a YT friend that I think is absolutely brilliant, and SO important!!! I believe we need to do this, and that we CAN make a change by changing our actions regarding reading the tabloid/internet trash news that sells sensationalism and bad news...WE have the power-- COnsumer power! $$$ and hits on a website talk...so let's starve the sites of hits and the tabloids of sales! We can do it together and I just know Michael will be wearing a HUGE BEAUTIFUL SMILE watching us put this into action!
Here is the email from Nancy: Please read the whole thing!
Hello MJ Family!
I just received information from MJ Family member MJfan6513 and it inspired an idea. She took the information from the articles and went the extra mile to copy and paste it for us to read without just providing the link to the site that ran it. I applaud her.
She provided the information without giving the sites who 'report it' credit through the 'hits' they accumulate by everyone who visits. This is how WE stay informed without providing the 'egomediasts' an indication that speculation and innuendo and downright lies are being read and appreciated by people. No links. Just the information that is easily copied and sent through our personal family network without them being aware that anyone is reading the garbage. This is how WE show the difference between credible journalism and yellow trash journalism. WE hit those sites that are being responsible with their news and disregard those that are writing scandal for attention.
Each of us is intelligent enough to know the difference!
If it is garbage..no links! Freeze them out! Let the haters have a good time! Because by going to these sites and commenting in any way makes these sites SCORE! They want to stir us up to show their news is provocative! That is why they have hired the commentators in the first place! They didn't hire them because of their journalistic credibility..they hired them to cause controversy through allegation and scandal...for attention and ratings! These sites run advertising! They acquire advertising dollars by showing how often that advertising may be seen by people who come there! That is how the 'information for dollars game is played'. And these lousy Egomediasts are evaluated by the networks which employ them based on the ratings they bring in! More ratings...more money in their paychecks!
Perhaps you have a very good idea of what sites are constantly saying derogatory and hateful things about Michael? Make a list, and let everyone know who should be avoided. Perhaps you will elect to be the 'one person' who monitors what is said there and just passes that information through YT without having everyone go to that site? Perhaps you know those sites that promote true journalism about Michael? Tell people the place to get this information.
If it is credible and well reported, ok...give the links so WE can comment and show our appreciation of this type of journalism. Everyone takes a moment to make a comment there to say thank you.
Send the message that honest journalism is the way the world wants to hear it!
Yes WE want to know what is being said and by whom...but WE don't want THEM to know WE are paying attention! WE can make it 'unfashionable' to be an Egomediast commentator and more popular to be a journalist who works to supply credible information through fact finding and actual named sources of the information being given. So what if all the comments are from haters under that article? WE can't change the hearts of haters by arguing with them...if they don't get Michael by now, they are lost causes and you and I know that.
But, by only haters commenting, this will inform the sites that only hateful people want to hear their rubbish and they will absolutely know that those people who care for Michael are ignoring them. This cuts their ratings at least in half, if not more.
Think about it...how many haters are actively seeking information on Michael compared to us? Our numbers are greater, therefore WE are the 'target market' they seek.
If you want to have at least one statement from our family there to protest the use of yellow journalistic practices, tell me. I will be happy to go out and slap them around a bit. I will not debate their information, because that is what they want, but I will surely tell them that they are being ignored by the MJ Family because WE don't appreciate their 'commentator' or the 'subjective opinion' that journalist employs...in other words...you are being boycotted. Only one such statement...no hits that accumulate...they will see the difference of the 'before' and 'after'. They will compare it to previous articles and what hits they received then. It is all part of the information game and statistics are very well reviewed.
Does everyone understand what I am saying? This is how we BURN the TABLIODS for Michael on the internet! They 'Wanna Be Startin' Something' and Michael wants them to just 'Leave Him Alone'!
WE treat them like vegetables!
This is just one small but potentially significant way WE can show Michael that he has true friends. I am very open to your opinions and thoughts regarding what I propose. I am aware there are times I may not know what others may know and therefore your communication with me is appreciated.
If you think of something I did not evaluate in this idea, please tell me. I want unification and loving cooperation...that is my goal. For Michael.
WE are a family....WE need to pull together and make an impact in some way, for Michael. Can WE show that WE can be unified in his love? Can WE 'Come Together' over him? Michael would have over 50,000 people at many of his concerts right? And how many times did he give concerts? Don't you agree that means millions and millions knew Michael in some way? So, where is our ONE group of 50,000 people all working on the same idea? Where is that 'fraction of the whole' of all those that he entertained and spoke to through the words in his songs for over forty years of his life? Where is that group of 50,000 who heard his messages of hope and incredible love? WE can all play a part in a better world if 'WE will only join together as one voice in CHANGE'! WE need to find that group of 50,000 and put it back together. HIStory does not change until the masses (WE) speak up! Let's all go to the same show together! WE will do the 'performing' and let Michael watch US, 'For A Change'!
Potential Global Consequences should this way of thinking become voiced by many: If WE can teach the people who provide us with information that WE want real journalism, this will make our world better. No longer will lies about even bigger issues concerning our neighbors or our environment be acceptable. The powerful minority at the top of the 'trickle down' information chain will no longer be able to sway our opinions with information that is wrong. WE can have better communication and understanding for all. It all begins with truthful information based on real facts. It's time the masses in all lands speak up and gain some control of what happens in our world that WE all share.
'So WE is not a choice anymore, not if you and I want to grow with one another. WE unites us, increases our strength; it picks up our burden when you and I are ready to let it fall. The truth is that you and I would have given up long ago, but WE won't let us. It is too wise. "Look into your hearts," it says. "What do you see? Not you and I, but only WE." ', excerpt from: I, You, We, Dancing the Dream, Michael Jackson

I you agree....pass this on!
Peace and L.O.V.E. to ALL!
