Just to let you know that times are not always smooth for German tabloids
(and they have to publish this criticism in their print version and this tabloid did publish this statement today):

(translated by google translator)

11.09.09 - Dying without a public
Public criticism on a German tabloid's report on MJ death Clear

Press Council criticizes show of Michael Jackson's death

In their first meetings in
Berlin, the Board committees of the German Press Council and the
Appeals Committee of the editorial have of Privacy 8.9. – 10.09.09 a total of six complaints expressed.

Reporting on the death of Michael Jackson The "Bild-Zeitung" was reprimanded for inappropriately sensational reporting on the death of Michael Jackson. A title page showing Jackson lying on a stretcher and connected to ventilators. The combination with the headline "Here he is
losing the battle for his life," suggested to readers that they could
watch a man just die. This keeps the Appeal Board for a violation of human dignity. Even with a pop star like
Jackson's legitimate to information and entertainment of the public
interest does not justify any encroachment into privacy.

11.1 Directive of the Press Code is:

Directive 11.1 - Inadequate representation Inappropriate sensational is a representation if it is degraded in the reporting of people to object to a mere means. This is
especially the case when it is reported over a dying or physically or
mentally suffering people in the Public Interest and the information
interests of readers beyond fashion.

Also criticized because of the reporting in connection with Jackson was also the Internet portal "BILD ONLINE". It was a horribly disfigured, computer-generated image of the dead without hair. The caption surmised, "said Jackson might have looked about at the autopsy."

The Committee members
consider the fictional representation of the deformed head of the
corpse for a violation of human dignity, especially since the figure
was based on pure conjecture. For the Panel was not disputed that there is public interest in the death of pop stars and the circumstances. Details about the condition of his corpse, also based on speculation, however, belong in the privacy of the deceased. Therefore, the appeal committee judged the presentation as a serious encroachment on the post-mortem personality rights. [...]

Yes definitley but I think alot of people have stopped buying tabloids after MJ "died" it was a big eye opener for me personally. It's not that I ever believed the tabloid rubbish I just bought it to read through but not anymore!
I've noticed it here in Ireland, a guy that was in a boyband died last Saturday he was only 33 and died of natural causes and of course the media are trying to turn it into something sick and say he choked in his vomit and his partner was in bed with another man when it happened. They are sick and twisted people and trying to ruin a nice genuine mans' image.

Hey yes I am from Scotland hehe. Was terrible to hear of the passing of Stephen (favourite member of Boyzone), watched his funeral on Saturday was sitting with my husband in tears Sad

Totally sick how the tabloids tried to make it seem his death seem seedy in any kind of way, he was a good man and right away people dismissed their lies about heavy drinking on the night, he just wasn't that sort of guy Sad
