I see a lot of copy and paste journalism. But this doesnt seem to be as dismissive as most articles I've read. They seem to be open the possibility the mj hoaxed his death. This particular statement rings out to me. .
"As with all conspiracy theories, if you believe in it – if you believe that you are in the know and can smell the truth that others cannot – it is unlikely you will be swayed by anyone outside your group. Sure, you are as blinkered in your own desire to be right, but, then, you know the truth.
You will pick bits of evidence that support your theory – however small – and overlook the welter of evidence against.
Don’t be a cynic. Be a sceptic."

No! <!-- s:| -->:|<!-- s:| -->
Yeah, now that I think about it, "posititve" isn't the right choice of words. I struggled, obviously to come up with an appropriate title. But I do appreciate them being open to the possibility. Little by little, more people and media are going to be more open, and hopefully will investigate for themselves. So "positive" is a funky word to use, but at least the artice is not completely dissmissive.
