Well with all due respect, Michael and Britney did a pretty good job bringin' themselfs down too
Sure they did do that.... but, with all due respect too, the media make around 70% of that drama. Paparazzis are everywhere, and pictures or storys are in the most time not true or are telling the story who was really happend.
Britney Spears make much things wrong... but she is back in business now. But I think without media, she could be back in business one year ago. Media destroys much lifes. MJ are one of it.
