I'm seeing a disturbing trend now... the media sticking up for Oprah and attacking fans for speaking out about her upcoming show... read more here from the Toronto Sun:

And then to my surprise, last nite I caught Showbiz Tonite and they were railing against the Official Michael Jackson Fans of Southern California (OMJFSC) group, calling them "knuckleheads" and praising Oprah up and down, saying she's done nothing wrong! Just a coincidence??? Remember that there is NO such thing as a coincidence! (There was nothing about this conversation posted at their website, sorry.)
Then I heard that CNN and Entertainment Tonight contacted the JUSTICE4MJ group for a comment on the above... it seems CNN may be doing a story on MJ fan outrage too. (Haven't seen anything on their website yet but please post if you do.)
My point is, the media is missing the point entirely. We are not only fed up with Oprah's airing shows on pedophiles next to shows about Michael, but also fed up with her opinion that Michael molested kids. It is so darn obvious... you would have to be stupid not to see it. So is the media choosing to ignore what is so obvious? The answer is YES, but this may actually be good news. MJ fan groups are speaking out, and the media is finally listening. True, they are twisting the message and rallying around Oprah, but maybe this is just the start of their "awakening" to the fact that MJ fans may have been right along.
