https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=۶۸۷۵۳۸۱۰۱۲۸۸۲۳۸&set=vb.۱۳۲۳۸۷۳۶۶۸۰۳۳۱۷&type=۲&theater ۱۷ March ۲۰۱۴ TMZ about a story claiming that DNA evidence proved that Brandon Howard was Michael's son. The next day, my timeline/newsfeed was full of links to a TMZ story that claimed the DNA tests were bogus. the very nature of this big "reveal" screams of a career advancing publicity stunt for Brandon Howard and a business launching publicity stunt for Film@onTv. The Late last week, TMZ did it again with a story that Jane Goodall claimed that Michael Jackson's chimp, Bubbles, was abused. Again, those stories appeared all over Twitter and Facebook. Knowing how Michael Jackson felt about animals, does anyone really believe this ridiculous story? Debbie Kunesh of Reflections on the Dance (http://www.reflectionsonthedance.com/), spoke with David Nordahl, a friend to Michael Jackson for ۲۰ years, in an interview on July ۲۹, ۲۰۱۳. In the interview, when asked about the media and their habit of judging Michael, reporting about him negatively and not really interviewing the right people, David had this to say: "The media doesn't care about my stories because I don't know anything bad about Michael. I don't have anything to report. That makes me ineligible to talk about Michael." "Not everything you read is the truth. A lot of stuff is made up. For people that never knew Michael, it is all very confusing. Misinformation about Michael will be around until the end of time." During the interview, Randall Sullivan's controversial book, Untouchable: The Strange Life and Tragic Death of Michael Jackson, was discussed. When asked what he thought about the book, he said, "There is so much in there and some of the things that were said, there's no way of backing it up and checking anything or researching anything to find out was the situation really was. It is the kind of thing that I just throw away. I know who Michael was. I'm not confused about it so when people say things it doesn't really upset me because I expect that. I would rather not hear it but I accept it because that is what people are going to do when someone is so world famous as Michael was."

We suggest that you too know him, are not confused about who he was, and don't need the tabloids and the "lamestream" media tell you what to think. While we can't claim that we know how Michael Jackson would react to most things, Michael was very clear about how he felt about the media. He told us in his music and his public words many times. He explicitly said, "The tabloid press are bastards and you've got to have rhinoceros skin to deal with that kind of ignorance mentality. They do it simply to sell papers, because bad news sells, not good news. They simply make it up. If they don't have anything, they just make it up. I'm nothing like the way the tabloids have painted me out to be, nothing. Nothing like that. They're the ones who are crazy. They're ignorant. I always say to my fans, 'Let's have a tabloid burning. Let's make a big mountain out of tabloids and just burn them.' The real fans who love me know that garbage isn't true. They know. They're smart." In the case of the Internet, we can't burn the tabloids but we can certainly refrain from clicking on their stories which also deprives them of income. Michael Jackson paternity claim for Brandon Howard shown false: report FilmOn.com's Alki David made the claim based on results from a DNA lab in Ireland that appears to be fake, says a report. BY GINGER ADAMS OTIS NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Friday, March ۷, ۲۰۱۴, ۱۲:۲۴ PM Updated: Friday, March ۷, ۲۰۱۴, ۵:۳۸ PM A A A SHARE THIS URL B Howard has denied involvement with a stunt that claimed Michael Jackson was his biological father. NEILSON BARNARD/GETTY IMAGES B Howard has denied involvement with a stunt that claimed Michael Jackson was his biological father. The kid is not his son. The DNA result that allegedly proved the King of Pop fathered a ۳۱-year-old singer named B Howard was a pathetic fake ripped straight from the Internet, TMZ reported Friday. Even the logo for the lab that allegedly produced the results was false -- taken from the DNA testing lab in "Terminator Salvation," the site said. The expose of the flimsy fakes came after Alki David -- who runs FilmOn.com -- held a press conference Thursday to announce he had proof Michael Jackson was the biological dad of Brandon Howard. David said the DNA tests showed there was a ۹۹.۹۹۹۹% probability that Howard was sired by Jackson. Howard, the son of a R&B and gospel singer who was a close friend of Jackson's, didn't appear at Thursday's press conference to unveil the results. David, ۴۵, is the heir to the Coca-Cola Hellenic shipping and bottling company and digital media entrepreneur whose companies include FilmOn.TV Networks, Channel ۳ Dish Networks and more. According to TMZ, David claims he bought an old dental impression used by Michael Jackson. It was auctioned off by the Beverly Hills dentist who used to treat the pop star, David said. CEO of FilmOn.com Alki David claimed he had DNA proof that JOE KOHEN/GETTY IMAGES CEO of FilmOn.com Alki David claimed he had DNA proof that Michael Jackson was B Howard's father. A Los Angeles lab that tested the dental mold found no DNA on it, TMZ reported. David also brought in what he said were DNA samples from Jackson's brothers Jermaine and Tito. But none of the samples were a match to Howard -- meaning he's not related to any Jackson, TMZ reported. When the L.A. lab didn't return the results David wanted, he sent the dental mold to a different lab in Ireland that was able to find DNA, he claimed. And that DNA matched B Howard's, he insisted. But when TMZ got a copy of the so-called DNA results, the story started to unravel. There's no genetic testing lab in Ireland called "DNA Lab," the company name on the results, TMZ said. And the logo was quickly identified as a fictitious creation straight from the movies. The claim by FilmOn.com's Alki David that Michael Jackson fathered B Howard appears to be false. TIM WHITBY/GETTY IMAGES The claim by FilmOn.com's Alki David that Michael Jackson fathered B Howard appears to be false. Even the DNA results themselves can be found online, TMZ reported. "A simple Google image search of 'DNA result' turns up a bunch of sample docs with the same exact easily-stealable format as the one we got," TMZ wrote on its website Friday. Jackson, one of the most successful American performing artists of all time, died June ۲۵, ۲۰۰۹, in his California home. He was killed by a fatal dose of two powerful drugs -- propofol and benzodiazepine -- that he took to get to sleep. He had three children believed to have been delivered from surrogate mothers: Paris-Michael Katherine Jackson, Prince Michael Jackson II and Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr. B Howard, who sounds and looks eerily akin to the adult Jackson, came forward after the singer's ۲۰۰۹ death and said the superstar was his dad. But Howard's own family has repudiated his story. Attempts to contact David and FilmOn were not successful. این آدرس ایمیل توسط spambots حفاظت می شود. برای دیدن شما نیاز به جاوا اسکریپت دارید RELATED STORIES Singer to show DNA proof he's Michael Jackson's son: report Michael Jackson's estate holds $۱۸M in cash and $۶۰۰M in revenue OTHER STORIES
