| "Frontline" on PBS did a special on tabloid coverage of the
allegations called "Tabloid Truth: The Michael Jackson Scandal". The
program details how an employee of the Child Protective Services in
Los Angeles called a reporter and informed him that Michael was being
investigated for child molestation, and within 24 hours the news was
around the world. It examined how sources can be bought and how the
media creates the story as they go along in order to garner ratings
and sell magazines and newspapers.
A similar program was shown on BBC television in the UK in 1994 as
"The Hunt For Michael Jackson". |
