According to the New York Daily News, Randy Jackson is angry.
And he's coming out swinging against the media outlets that threatened to ruin his brother Michael Jackson's funeral and burial.
Michael Jackson's brother is apparently upset by the overwhelming coverage of the King of Pop's burial.
In a public statement, Randy Jackson asked the media "to give us one moment of privacy to mourn as a family out of the public spotlight."
The call for help fell on deaf ears, as - according to Randy Jackson - the helicopters alone "severely disrupted" last week's memorial service.
"I was dismayed last night and again today at the coverage I saw on television of our ceremony for Michael," says Randy Jackson.
Did the media overstep appropriate boundaries with their coverage of Michael Jackson's burial?

I agree with Randy...the burial was a private affair. PLEASE let Michael rest in peace. This truly, genuinely good man was hounded to his death by lying children, greedy parents, lying greedy siblings, lying, manipulative reporters and a reckless, negligent doctor. RIP Michael Jackson. Greatly loved and greatly missed.
Micheal Jackson was an alledged Pervert and should have been burned to death way before he died.
Rest in peace Michael. All the haters need to get a life.
Yes burial is a private affair, but MJ is no longer private. If MJ is something private, nobody would be interested, then where is the demand from and where will his money comes from? If MJ dying is private, then why make a show out of it...Having this ceremony here, a memorial there and a further gig here and there? Why bother? Maybe it is a way to play on emotions, to kept money coming in.... The fact the MJ died the way he died, no one is to be blamed. Just because he is well known and can make money does not means he can do what he want. Dr Muray is only a scape goat, who need to earn a living....and got himself trapped.... MJ has digged a hole for himself but also pulled many in....
Also, maybe if the family did really loved and cared for MJ, maybe he would not have ended the way he ended........
'The Truth' that is not true he cared for children and helped them in any way he could that dosen't mean he's a pervert.... Randy your right the media should have left the funeral alone by the way the jackson family aren't in it for the money they made the memorial open because everyone around the world loved Michael Jackson...RIP Michael Jackson I hope your in a better place...And the Jackson family stay strong
randy is right but as we all love mj so we dont want to miss any moment of micheals last moment .may you rest in peace micheal we are gone a miss you from the bottom of our heart .love u alotttttttttttttttttttt miss you alot baby you are my peter pan
Michael J.was a special human being.He was such a beautifull beautiful person.Most of us can not see that because we are brainwashed with lie about M.J. God brought him here and he took him back to himself because i think we are stupid and we do not deserve a person like M.J.M.J. died with lots of love and so many blessings but all you stupid haters will die with out anything.
Letter to my dear M.J.
M.J. i love you so much and i will miss you. It is sad that my children will not see you alive and feel your presence.The day i heard your death i cried like i lost my family member. That was the day i found out that you are a part of my family. I truly feel you are a member of my family spiritually.I love you my dear.Even if the whole world hates you you should not worry because God loves you, God loves you.
God bless
Thank you God and thank you Michael.
Read up on all the information within books and online and the public domains about the actual trials, Michael was innocent all along and was never loved enough in his last years. So many people who aided in his drug addictions could have said no to help him, but there's always someone evil who IS willing to help someone who's addicted and hurting.!@#$%^ those people for taking away the best performer and one of very few true talents in the music industry. Not only that, but he was a father now, ready to raise his children to see what they would make of themselves, but now they will be surrounded by the greed lingering around the jackson family that would never leave michael alone. I hope they grow up and fight against that kind of bullshit. I can't wait for October 28th, it's the closest we'll get to him in his recent time.
Michael Jackson was the greatest and still is the greatest..
When people want a time of privacy, they want time of privacy..
it doesnt take so much to ask for a little privacy.. I hope the media feels really bad about interupting other peoples privacy..
"how would it feel if that was your funeral service being film on T.V".. wel i guess i would HURT to see it.. wel then thats eactly what to Michael Jacksons Funeral..
Michael Jackson i love you so much..Rest your Soul in one Peace.. may God bring peace upon your family esspecially your children..
Glad he is now biried.He definitely wasn't an angel, billions of people loved him. Personally i didnt love him because i had one thing against him; Denial of his being an African like me: changing his skin colour and wanting to be white and opting for white sperm for his kids. His music was, however, great. He shall forever be second only to the king of reggae, Bob Marley.
