Michael Jackson coverage 7:43pm on 29 Jun 2009 By Friday evening, Jackson was being referred to, across the BBC, as a 'musical genius'. Whilst I'd have expected such hyperbole from his fans, I didn't expect to hear it from Kirsty Ward on 'Newsnight'. As the hysteria grew, so the lines between fact and opinion became blurred in your presentation of the story. In his prime, Jackson was certainly one of the greatest entertainers in the world, but a 'musical genius' and one that merited the whole of 'Newsnight' being given over to him? A disproportionate reaction, I'm afraid.
