Nine months ago, @kpfallon (sr. reporter of @thedailybeast) wrote a 2,700 word story in which he fallaciously called MJ supporters a "twisted cult," "conspiracy theorists" & "truthers."
This was before Reed & guilters underscored what conspirators and "truthers" truly are.

It wouldn't be a proper LN-promo if Kevin didn't start out by discussing the "unprecedented" impact at Sundance & how scary the scene was there—complete with bomb-sniffing dogs and heavy police presence.
Here, ladies & gentlemen, is the actual extent of the fan fury there: 😲

By paragraph two, Kevin repeats Dan's often-parroted but never-substantiated claims that he received direct threats against him. Yet no police reports, no restraining orders, no corroborated evidence of serious threats produced. He then quotes an officer about the "high tension."
In paragraph three, Kevin concedes the security fluff at Sundance was really an overreaction. He then shifts the goal posts... Since fans didn't react violently or interfere at Sundance Kevin sets out to proclaim there's "no such thing as overreacting to this "MJ truther 'hive'."
He dedicates the next 4 paragraphs to vividly and unnecessarily describe LN, even adding "caressing nipples" & "bending over" to the mix. 🤦♂️
At the end, he does the classic "MJ settled out of court in '93" without distinguishing the civil vs. criminal case, which was unaffected.

The next sections (complete w/ "TRIGGER WARNING") mock the meticulously researched and thoroughly cited analyses including themichaeljacksonallegations.com w/out directly disputing any of it. Instead, Kevin just tosses in "flat-earthers" and other buzz conspiracy words to woo his readers.
The rest of Kevin's attack piece is this same structure. He shows random threads, blogs and users and then dismisses everything they say outright, because they dare to offer counterbalance to what Reed (and Kevin) admit was a film that only told the stories from Wade/James side.
Kevin repeatedly throws out the tired notion that MJ supporters would "never watch the film" (classic guilter nomenclature) so are useless to critique it.
In fact, it is the supporters who've repeatedly watched, transcribed and studied the film far beyond a "Kevin" level viewer.

Kevin throws around false claims about other users as well. Suggesting, for instance, that @Hammertonhal's "entire account is devoted to LN" while ignoring how these accounts existed many years prior to LN and most have studied these failed litigators for half a decade already.
In the greatest unrealized hypocrisy, Kevin ends his piece by suggesting fans were foolish to write essays about a film they didn't see.
By contrast, Kevin wrote a 2,700 word essay attacking users rather than arguments, w/out reading any cited court filings or supporting docs.

But if we want to talk conspiracies and "truthers," let's reflect once again on how Dan and his devotees have tried running every possible conspiracy theory under the sun just to defend James' impossible train station lie for 8 months. DOZENS of excuses.
