    "If his surprisingly normal-seeming children loved him, the logic goes, could he really have been such a dark and bizarre human being?"

Anyway, is there any evidence she was coerced or is this all idle speculation on Salon's part in order to generate more hits with yet another MJ story? If they coerced her, its horrible, but it doesn't seem like there is any evidence of that. Also, how does this help Katherine Jackson's custody battle in any way to begin with? Salon has no right to critique the rest of the media for milking this MJ thing since its clear you guys are too.
