Let’s remember the good times.which is why I’m sort of ashamed to be a part of it, however minimal my role as a freelancer is. No mater what they may say (or should I say “we”?) about him, the world will continue loving him.

I don’t think it’s fair to say that as a race we hold it against him. I think that there’s only so much you can expect from the media, and that’s something I’m learning too, on a smaller scale. But on a personal level, there’s outlets with integrity that actually work for the artists and there’s one’s that try to take you apart.
