He's an award winning journalist and he has a career outside of MJ.
He's been doing reporting about pedophile rings for years, which is why he is valuable to the MJ defender community. He does an excellent job pointing out the glaring difference between cases involving actual pedophilles that he's reported on and Michael's false accusers.
And have you ever thought that he doesn't work for the major news orgs because he doesn't agree with how corrupt they are? If he had flipped to being Anti-MJ Im sure he could had a nice cushy job in a heartbeat, but he has always refused to slander Michael for money.
He's just a REGIONAL journalist and his awards reflect that, e.g Local Hero. For award winning, I'd be expecting at least one of the top NATIONAL awards. 🤦♂️ The most significant paper he's worked for post-student years has been the....Yellow Advertiser. A strictly Essex based regional one. Regional papers is his level - no shame in that, but don't make him out to be a major reporter in the UK. Oh, and he had very little problem saying all kinds of crap about MJ on forums when he was Twisted Vision as well. Nah, he's been living off his one MJ article as far as fans go. And isn't close being an influential journalist in the UK on anything, including MJ. But carry on fangirling the guy....🙈 As for the documentary.....no words left. Its a shambles. He is pretty toxic and downright insulting about MJ on some of those podcasts, I cant imagine any of the very sensitive fans here on this board enjoying his comments in the slightest. When I saw his name attached I was annoyed I donated. Why does Taj need the assistance of "a fan" who has already put all of what he knows on MJ out on the internet already. What kind of contribution does he think Thompson will make over the likes of Lisa Marie Presley? That last update proves that Taj is just being a downright asshole for putting out such a fluffy non update. He's playing everyone that lives in his echo chamber for fools while the rest of us can see him and his efforts for what they are.

Taj is indeed an unfocused slacker, he has nothing to show for and enlisted people to do the work for him.
Is Charles Thomson really a fan though? I mean, he hadn't had a problem mocking and insulting Michael on a personal level, doubting his paternity of his children publicly or downplaying his artistry to uplift Prince. 🙄
I don't have a problem criticizing some of his personal and artistic choices if I don't agree with them but mocking him and and insulting him is beyond me. Thomson is the kind of guy who thinks if he "keeps it real," he's more grounded but in reality, he's an asshole. Fans have given him much a pass for his one good MJ article in the Huffington Post.

What's also amazing is how quite a number of fans keep talking as though Thomson is a major investigative journalist in the UK. He's really, really nothing of the kind! You don't see him on any major investigative news programme at all nor is he with a major newspaper. OK, he was a student journalist for a stint at the Guardian, but mostly wrote for a small local newspaper in Essex. Amazing some think he adds credibility to anything here. The guy has been living off his one piece on MJ for too long and anything since is very much on an MJ fan basis. 🤷♂️ I really cannot see Taj having any clout with this project and can only see it existing in an echo chamber, unfortunately. He's an award winning journalist and he has a career outside of MJ.

I guess you never saw his posts as twisted vision on the old kop board. You would have thought he was a hater . The guy has no credibility certainly isn't an award winning famous journo and frankly its embarrassing how he has “wormed” his way into the fan community with virtually no one questioning his history.

Not on same level but that reminds me of that fecker jack perreti when he did his hit piece docus about mj. He claimed to be a fan inorder to try and give his lies and hate about Mj some sort of twisted credibility. That if a “fan” is saying this it must be true. Trying to keep it real rather than those OTT ass kissing fans.

I don't think I've heard these things about Charles Thomson before... did he make those statements about Michael before or after he started defending him?

All the crap Thomson said on insulting and mocking him on personal level about his appearance, his nose, how MJ conducted himself and the paternity of his children was when MJ was alive on fan forums claiming to be a fan himself. I don't know if he already downplayed and insulted his artistry back them but I've certainly seen him to do so in recent years favoring Prince. That's the main reason why I can't stand to listen to the MJCast.

I think he also called MJ lazy for not releasing new material during the last years of his life. I find it a bit ironic when he now defends Taj's lack of progress. MJ, who worked since the age of 5, was "lazy", but Taj isn't?

In 2018 or 19, Thomson was tweeting about MJ's nose having "fallen off". You'll have to scroll back to find it as I didn't take a screenshot of it.

MJ, who worked since the age of 5, was "lazy", but Taj isn't? Yeah i remember that. Maybe he thinks if he talks/talked shit about mj it gives him more credibility ie being “fair and balanced” when in reality it just makes him look fake and someone who talks out of both sides of their mouth depending on what suites his agenda ( ie getting in with taj etc) which gives him a total lack of credibility and is frankly embarrassing

Even down to his tone. He sounds like he doesnt want to be there, like everything he says is gospel and that he actually doesn't quite like MJ very much. I keep bringing up also - his "journalistic integrity" is non existent when no negative comments about The Jackson family are tolerated at all - but let's focus on the nose falling off, sure. I love the Jackson family, but come on man.

Does he say on that Michael's nose fell off? Onstage? Funnily enough, he's cleaned up his twitter history as several tweets you'd raise an eyebrow at are now deleted. I recall at one point he was comparing MJ fanatics to....Mark Chapman. 🙈

I'd listen back to it but I'd rather burn in hell.

I love the Jackson family, but come on man. I agree. I only listen to The MJ Cast when there's a guest I'm really interested in but otherwise I just don't like their vibe much. And it's not just Charles. Funny how they insist on "keeping it real" on MJ with snide remarks, but God forbid someone criticizes the Jackson family! They are off limits, MJ is not. They are even shielded from valid criticism, like Charles suggested last time during their interview that fans are wrong for questioning Taj. If they are going to have a "keeping it real" policy why aren't they consistent with that and are "keeping it real" about every other family members as well, not just MJ? Generally I feel they are much more respectful and polite to other members of the Jackson family than to MJ himself. I guess the difference is that people like Taj talk to Charles and value him, while MJ didn't even know he existed.

He's cleaned his profile up - probably because he's supposed to be working with Taj. 🤷♂️
