The two biggest stories when it comes to adults allegedly taking advantage of youth of course have to be Michael Jackson and Priests of the Catholic church. But I am compelled to ask if "one set of rules" are being applied in the manner of investigation an the media response?
I am trying to recall if during the many challenges to the Catholic church, did in fact 70 police cars with forensic officers swarm around the churches or homes of the priests facing the allegations? Was there an hourly update by the national press as to the wherabouts of the priests facing allegations? Were the priests forced to surrender any passports or pay any multi-million dollar bonds to authorities in order to remain free? Did the media force the priests or church or related groups to cancel any of their planned activities that had already been assigned? Did the announcement of the allegations against priests coincide with any major church actvitity?
Both Jackson and priests have a huge impact in their respective ways on millions of youth who follow them religiously with their respective areas of religion and entertainment. I don no think that anyone would have allowed any prosecuter anywhere to make fun of any priest or the church during the process of investigating these respective allegations. But we allow the prosecutors of Jackson to use the press conference as a means to tell people to come to California to watch the proceedings and spend money with the economy?
Why would we allow CBS to cancel Jackson's TV show, at a time when the public is making his latest record sales at number one? That same public would certainley watch his TV special when it aired. After Jackson pays his bail, he was certainly aviable to come back, finish his video and the project for CBS to continue to air at it's regular time. If the man went crazy and died, CBS certainly would stop their regularly scheduled programming to be the first in the country to air Michael Jackson's last project. So why treat Jackson any different when his guilt or innocense won't be known for some time?
We need to stand up and challenge the world not to treat Michael Jackson any different while he goes through this latest challenge. The institution that he represents in the music industry should respected, versus what appears to be a "conscious effort" to destroy him before he officially goes through the appropriate legal processes. Watching the way that California prosecutors are acting with their over agressive manner in treating Jackson, that maybe that once again show their carelessness as in the past and they totally have this blow up in their face too.
We should make the "conscious effort" to protect the institution that Michael Jackson represents until this process has been completed. And we should make the "conscious effort" to protect him and support him, in light of what appears to clearly be a process to destroy Jackson.
