For over thirty years, Michael Jackson has been a pop culture phenomenon. Over time, his tremendous talent became overshadowed by his physical transformation and various eccentricities. In 2005, the public's curiosity about Jackson's lifestyle came to a head as his criminal trial dominated the airwaves and the headlines. The world held its collective breath waiting to hear if the "King of Pop" would fall from grace in perhaps the worst possible manner.
In the shocking new book Michael Jackson Conspiracy, best-selling author and journalist Aphrodite Jones challenges that the news media covered Jackson's trial with a tremendous bias, focusing on only most salacious and heinous details and ignoring those that could have exonerated him. Jones covered the Michael Jackson trial for FOX News, and her book provides an exclusive insider's perspective about what really went on behind the scenes. During this interview, Jones steps outside the box and confesses that she too became overly focused on the sensational rather than on the true facts of the trial.
Listen as internationally recognized true crime author Aphrodite Jones discusses the media's loss of a professional compass, the changing perception of "breaking news" and her controversial book, Michael Jackson Conspiracy.
