Too Bad, So Sad" (VIDEO)Huffington Post | Nicholas Graham First Posted: 07- 6-09 10:50 AM | Updated: 08- 6-09 05:12 AMTMZ scooped the traditional media when it broke the news of Michael Jackson's death, and has been steadily earning more respect as it forges its own path among the mainstream media. CNN's Don Lemon interviewed TMZ founder Harvey Levin about his ambitious media company and their big scoop.Lemon: You broke the story before the time of death from the coroner.Harvey: Well, before it was officially announced. We really knew this significantly before even what was going on, but this was, you know, crossing every t. We were positive when we put it up. We put it up when we were 100% positive.Asked by Lemon how he feels when mainstream outlets rely on TMZ reporting and yet are reluctant to cite or link to him, Levin dismisses the question as one he's not interested in. He says his only interest is in the story:"I think what happened is that again we just beat everybody on this one. And there are people who feel like wow we should have gotten that. Well, too bad, so sad."Lemon on Sunday went on CNN's Reliable Sources You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login, calling critics "elitist" and Jackson an "accidental civil rights leader."
Okay, doctors haven't pronounced Mj dead yet, and TMZ waited to be positive, to be 100% positive he is dead and then break out the news. How did they found out first??I think MJ called from LAX saying '' Harvey, I took off, so now you can break out the news, I will call you later, they are just serving lunch, bye......'' :lol:
THANKS UNCLE HARVEY NOW WE KNOW U KNEW EVEN BEFORE ANYONE EVEN BEFORE IT HAPPENED GEE...... :lol:
