Now that they are reluctantly letting go of Casey Anthony coverage, HLN already
found its next rating grabber. Conrad Murray Trial didn’t even start yet, it commences
on September 26, 2011 and HLN already began their coverage rife with misinformation.
I realize that their commentaries has no bearing on the court proceedings but I am concerned that someone who may not be following the Trial meticulously will accept HLN’s misinformation as facts without demur. Now I see why Conrad Murray's team wanted the judge to squester the jury, at least "during the hours Nancy Grace is on TV"
On August 8th, HLN’s Drew Pinsky portrayed Michael as an addict. Dr. Pinsky said
"when you are dealing with an addict, which Michael Jackson apparently was,
it takes more than one professional"
On August 10th, HLN’s Mike Galanos and Natisha Lance reported that Arnold Kline's former assisstant Jason Pfeiffer will be a witness in the Trial and that "the more doctors, the better for the Conrad Murray defense".
On August 8th, HLN's Joy Behar asked her guest Mark Geragos "Now you know, Michael Jackson was a willing drug user. Does that make the case against Dr. Murray harder to prove?"
Arnold Klein litigated his former assistant Jason Pfeiffer for embezzling money and Jason Pfeiffer counter-sued claiming Dr. Klein over-medicated Michael. Jason Pfeiffer, the looney who also claimed he was Michael’s gay lover, stated in his lawsuit that Klein forces him to find gay sexual partners and that Klein made him to wash his groin before his gay sexual encounters. Jason Pfeiffer is a joke. So is Arnold Klein . They are dragging Michael’s good name into their personal feud!
For HLN pundits to quote Jason Pfeiffer as a credible source is a testament to their journalistic quality, more accurately the lack thereof. This would never happen in Anderson Cooper's Program. Moreover, their conclusion that the more doctors who prescribed to Michael, the better for Conrad Murray defense is far from accurate. This contention displays just how ignorant HLN talking heads are about Propofol. It is evidenced by DOCTOR Drew's remark "It`s a barbiturate that was ultimately the cause of Michael Jackson`s death". Propofol is a non-barbiturate, it is an anaesthetic.

After Michael’s death, multiple doctors were investigated but ONLY Conrad Murray was charged. There is a valid reason for this: Michael Jackson did NOT die from cumulative effects of a drug addiction. His death is the direct result of actions and inactions by Conrad Murray on June 25, 2009.
Drew Pinsky CLAIMED “I read the autopsy. It didn`t show that he had sort of chronic lung problems. He was not in great shape physically”. How do you “sort of” have or not have chronic lung problems? And where in Michael Jackson’s autosy report does it even hint that “he was not in great shape physically”?
“LET’S GO FIGURE IT OUT”, Dr. Drew
Michael Jackson's autopsy showed that Michel was in pretty good shape. As a matter of fact, the coroner who performed the autopsy, Chris Rodgers testified during Preliminary Trial that “his general health was excellent”. Incidental findings were scarring of lungs, vitiligo and arthritis of spine. The scarring of lungs was due to lupus. The autopsy showed NO indication of drug or alcohol abuse. The only drugs found in Michael's body were the ones administered by Conrad Murray THAT MORNING.

Cirrhosis is when healthy liver tissue is replaced with scar tissue, eventually preventing the liver from functioning properly. Fatty liver, drug and alcohol abuse lead to cirrhosis. Michael’s liver was “unremarkable” = HEALTHY!
Review of number of drugs prescribed versus number of drugs left reveals that Michael UNDER-utilised the drugs which were treating insomnia, arthritis, vitiligo and anxiety.

Michael Jackson only took HALF of the recommended dose.
It doesn't matter if Michael started his day at 8AM receiving Propofol and
he received Propofol every hour on the hour from different doctors until midnight
It doesn't matter if Murray is Jesus Christ or he saves lives from sun-up to sun-down
It doesn't matter if Michael Jackson was a raging drug addict (which he wasn't)
It doesn’t matter if Michael gave himself an overdose of Propofol (implausible)
Conrad Murray:
· Prescribed & Purchased Propofol
· Transported Propofol across States
· Administered Propofol (he isn't an anesthesiologist)
· Propofol to treat insomnia (unprecendent in medical history)
· Prescribed/administered dangerous cocktail of drugs wit Propofol
· Propofol in home setting
· Free-drip Propofol without infusion pump
· No monitoring/resuscitation equipment
· Improper storage of unopened Propofol
· Improper storage of empty Propofol
· Left the patient while anesthetized
· Failed to call 911 immediately
· Improper CPR (no oxygen & compressions on bed)
· Stopped CPR to hide evidence = unconscionable
We are not requesting HLN to be pro-Michael Jackson. We are requesting that they be accurate. Broadcasting sensationalist speculations as if they are facts is unacceptable.
"It is safe, my doctors told me that it is safe" ~MICHAEL JACKSON
