This is just one big media circus and the real issues at hand are being lost in the tent.

The media has been out of control with their reporting, nobody sources or confirms story any more. Every rumor, speculation and conjecture is put out there as news, if you will blame anybody, blame the media.
This people are doing the best they can to plan a funeral for their son knowing very well they have to accommodate the fans, they did not even get his will until yesterday, so a lot of things have to be fluid, the last thing they need to do is to babysit the petulant media people...

And you know some people won't get this memo and still show up to Neverland on Friday.

The Jackson family is WELL aware of the celebrity that Michaels life had, they also know about media and PR. There is no reason for this to be such a back and forth. From the word go they needed an offical spokes person (not someone promoting a record label) to deal with the rumors.

hear hear. don't blame the family - it is not their fault that the media is spreading rumours. when the funeral arrangements are finalised they will announce it. we should wait until then.

I'm sure the family was discussing what to do. This was probably an option so the media got wind and ran with it even though the family hadn't decided. I feel bad for anyone who booked a flight and hotel. That's messed up the media did that. Don't blame the family, they have enough to deal with.

That's very true. But they're grieving and I'm not going to question them about arrangements they're trying to make. They probably should have said sooner since people bought plane tickets and got hotel rooms. But it is quite possible though that it's something they wanted to do and it didn't pan out.

feeds@yuku.com (JeterFan) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:26:06 GMT
I agree. They must have known (or their reps heard about it as soon as it was being reported). They should have put an end to it as soon as it started.

True, but the news had been reporting it for 2...

Why didn't The Jacksons put an end to the rumor as soon as it started? Hotels were all booked up hours after the so called announcement.

Why wouldn't anyone make sure it was confirmed the Memorial was taking place on Friday? Some news outlets said so, or tabloids?
