I agree that many of the things we hear in tabloids is hearsay. We can never know if something written about a celebrity is actual or just a stunt to sell more magazines. This is especially true when dealing with Michael Jackson, this man is a music legend and was accused of molesting a boy, who after MJ’s death admitted he had lied. What if it was Michael Jackson’s daughter that had accused him, later to admit that she was wrong. That is exactly what happened in the case of Meredith Maran. Maran who has thus written a book entitled “My Lie” write about how because of the media and society at the time she believed that her father had molested her. Later to figure out it was not flashbacks she was happening but nightmares. She had destroyed her family, ruined her relationship with her father and mother only to later figure out it was for nothing. This sheds light on how much power the media and society have over our thoughts and beliefs. http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2010/oct/09/meredith-maran-father-abuse-false-memory
