Comparing Freston Reports
Media reports from that breakfast thing I attended yesterday: The Financial Times was surprised "no one questioned the sincerity of the normally prurient MTV's new-found prudishness." AP leads with "MTV says it got punk'd by Janet Jackson," while the Reuters story gets Freston in an interview saying that Justin Timberlake was "informed of the stunt just moments before he took the stage."

I don't mean to be dwelling on this thing, so just a few other quick things. I think it's just as bad that Jackson/Timberlake pretended it was an accident and then lied about it after the show. Also, what's with Jackson saying "unfortunately the whole thing went wrong in the end"? What does that mean? Because she is telling us that she meant to reveal her breast and that she did mean to trick MTV, CBS, the NFL, etc. So was it the audience reaction that went wrong?
