Diana Ross will appear in The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday February 25, 2011.
Ratings for Winfrey's new endeavor, the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), are taking a nosedive. As we all know too well, Winfrey predictably exploits Michael Jackson when her ratings are flagging.
What you need to do is a heartfelt appeal to Diana Ross, through her agent, to NOT discuss Michael Jackson, his children, or anything about him, for ratings.
Send emails to her agent:
Jared, Assistant to Robert Norman, agent for Diana Ross. Creative Artists Agency
rnormanasst@caa.com
Subject line: Appeal to Diana Ross
IMPORTANT! Please send your email to Jared after business hours so that your email, along with many others, queue up in Jared's email box as a large clump of messages.
Try not to be too wordy, but stress that, if at all possible, please, Ms. Ross, continue to honor Michael's privacy.
Talking points:
• Winfrey since 1993 has consistently been disrespectful to Michael.
• Winfrey consistently asks invasive, exploitative and intensely private questions about Michael, his children and his family.
• Winfrey has exercised her power irresponsibly to shape public opinion.
• Celebrity gossip is the cash cow for tabloid empires. Winfrey has gone to the well too many times at Michael's expense.
• Winfrey's "voice of doubt and reserve" clearly influenced her audience in the Jackson matter and further emboldened the self-righteous pack of hounds hunting Mr. Jackson, alleged child molester.
• Winfrey's posthumous Jackson-related interviews with Lisa Marie Presley and Michael's parents and children were scheduled near or among other programs on child molestation. Such juxtaposition placed Michael Jackson's name, in the public mind and memory, exactly where Winfrey has decided it should remain.
THANK YOU TO THE GUYS OF THE 500 FOR THIS INFO
