Lisa Marie Presley Not Proud of Marriage to Jacko

That's right, Reuters called Michael Jackson Jacko. It's bad enough when Fox News, which is already borderline tabloid, does this, but Reuters is supposed to be intellectual.

Then again, I never expected BBC World to cover the Raelian cult's "cloned" baby story for so long either.

What is this world coming to when serious news agencies start coming off like tabloids?

I agree that the name Jacko is disrespectful. Some news agencies use it but I disagree with their decision to refer to Michael Jackson this way.
