This is one of the oldest partisan tricks in the book.
You want to use a headline to attack someone (in this case Michael Jackson) so what you do is you take something that someone else said, put single quote marks around it and run with it. Then, if someone calls you out on it, you say you were quoting someone else (when you could have simply said that in the first place and avoided the controversy.
But, if you’re Fox Nation, you thrive on controversy and partisan attacks on anything that is not (basically) ultra conservative.
Notice the headline does not read: “Congressman calls Michael Jackson a pervert”
Whoever posted this story was posting it to show how he or she feels about Jackson.
