CNN it's not the only media outlet that calls Michael Jackson "Jacko" Or "Wacko." I feel they are suppose to be a serious outlet of information. When they call a human being names, the seriousnes goes out the window. I feel if CNN starts calling Michael Jackson by his name, others will follow. I mean CNN calls Osama Bin Landen by his name, now that's America. It's disrespectful, and I am offended by it. R. Kelly doesn't get call names, neither does Woody Allen, Elvis, Rob Lowe...all those folks were either convicted, alleged, or charged or raping a child. Michael Jackson was born Michael Jackson and CNN should call him just that.

    • CNN should stop calling Michael Jackson "Wacko Jacko". He has children now and when they grow up, they're going to see how 'respected' news outlets treated their dad. It's very disrespectful considering that mass murderers get called by their correct name, but Michael doesn't. CNN is a respected news source and calling him "Wacko Jacko" is uncalled for. It's a new era..it's time for that BS to STOP.

    • Yes, I agree that CNN has gone way too far, and they want us to take them seriously? C'mon! be courteous, respectful, and address Michael Jackson the way he is supposed to be adressed. His fans really appreciate the cooperation and I above all consider it Humane and Mature. Oh yeah! Rob Lowe was accused of molesting children?! didn't know, but to me he is still the talented Mr. Lowe.... as Michael Jackson is supposed to be reffered to Mr. Jackson.

    • It's very sad but true, that media outlets such as CNN feel the need to mispronounce or botch the names of black superstars who happen to have some sort of drama surrounding them. I remember clearly how CNN in particular would pronounce Tupac Shakur as TUPACK SHAKER. It's pathetic. CNN, call Mr. Jackson by his name when you report about him.

    • I think Michael doesn't deserve such a name. They don't know him and he doesn't know them! So they should just get a life and learn the Michael is Michael for who he is. I mean I am serious Michael doesn't deserve that name. He is a true person a real sweethearted,caring, kind person. That people misunderstand and stand up to the media that are so negative towards him. Then they start seeing the opposite of him and they turn so mean towards Michael. So I think they need to stop calling Michael that!

    • You are disrespecting the entire Jackson family buy taking that family name and using it in a derogatory manner. It is not neccessary...quit trying to live up to the standards of the British Tabloids that created the name.

    • Stop calling him "Wacko Jacko"!! His name is MICHAEL JACKS0N!! Can you get that through you're thick skull?? It's not so hard to remember! What' the heck has he done that was "wacko" anyways?? Are you referring to the 1993 allegations where he was framed? The color of his skin from his vitiligo? The baby incident where he was showing the fans his son??? What about all of his humanitarian efforts and all of the world records he broke ever since he came to this world?? Are you going to forget about them and continue to mislead the public just for your own wealth and greed? Forget about the money for once for crying out loud and look beyond the media crap and look deep inside his heart where you will find the real caring man who isn't "wacko". Give us a break and start show some sense for crying out loud!! Show some respect for the greatest entertainer in the world!
