LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - One of Michael Jackson's doctors is angrily denying allegations that he may have feed the singers addiction to pain killers.
Dr. Arnold Klein, a Beverly Hills dermatologist, told ABC's Good Morning America that he never prescribed the powerful narcotics that may have lead to Jackson's death.
"I didn't give him any of that crap," Klein said. "You could take all the medication I gave him in the last year in one day and you'd be fine."
Klein said he was aware that Jackson had a problem with being over prescribed medication but stood firm that he was not one of the doctors who was responsible.
Klein also denied being the biological father of Jackson's kids saying, "To the best of my knowledge, I'm not the father."

Typos in paragraph one... should read "...may have fed the singer's addiction...." Paragraph two: "...may have led to...." Does anyone proofread their work anymore?
The typos are embarrasing -- just use the word processor's spell check and it will catch these kinds of mistakes. Hard to believe someone gets paid to write this junk anyway...
are we talking about the death of M.J. or getting an english lesson? I really couldn't dare less. J.F. in Tucson
I MEANT "CARE LESS" Guess I should have used my processor's spell check, or I could have proofread my work.I guess the joke is on me.
Hmmm... the spell check didn't catch that "embarrassing" was spelled wrong above. :-) The point about mistakes in spelling and grammar is that if a reporter is sloppy in those very basic aspects of writing it makes me wonder if he or she has been sloppy in the content too. It's a matter of trust. Would you trust news about Michael Jackson that is riddled with typos (making the writer look ignorant) or MJ news that is flawlessly written? I'd trust the latter. Typos can significantly affect the meaning of the thought the writer is trying to put across (like the example above: "dare less" when "care less" was meant). A reporter who is too busy, careless, or lazy to proofread his or her own writing runs the risk of putting out inaccurate information. I've gotten used to the general public not knowing how to spell, but I think that folks who are paid to write should be held to a higher standard in what they present to readers like you and me.
