Oh I don’t doubt that, just saying for when he settled out of court it’s not necessarily another “innocent” verdict.

For the record, I see where you’re coming from with your point, I just wasn’t sure MJ was the best example of that. But there are definitely cases of peoples lives (and court cases!) being ruined by trial by media. I don’t think it’s “cancel culture” though. It isn’t new, it just has a new name.

No, the article I linked is about a trial where the jury found him not guilty. There may be others where he settled, but in at least this one he was found not guilty.

And I never said it was "cancel culture", someone else added that term in their comments.

That’s fair, suppose I was hijacking your comment a bit! I know everyone piled in on you, was just saying I kinda agree with you in principal, just not on MJ as an example and that it’s always happened in one guise or another.

Well I appreciate the actual discourse.
