The term "Jacko" is a slur that has no place in a media that aspires to integrity and fairness. I can't think of another public figure that is referred to in such a derogatory way by the mainstream media. I completely support the effort to eliminate this offensive label. Tabloids may not change, but credible media organizations should at least try to live up to basic journalistic standards. This campaign is about human dignity. Hopefully, as we approach a trial (Conrad Murray) that seeks justice for one of the great artists of our time, this basic act of decency -- replacing "Jacko" with his real name, Jackson -- will also be realized.
