Radio Stations Worldwide Are Pulling Michael Jackson Songs

The backlash from the Leaving Neverland docu-series is continuing as more radio stations around the world are pulling Michael Jackson’s songs from their playlists.

Three stations in Canada have made the decision to drop the King of Pop and now you can add radio stations in New Zealand to the list.

“We aren’t deciding whether Michael Jackson is guilty of pedophilia, we’re just making sure our radio stations are going to play the music people want to hear,” said content director of MediaWorks Leon Wratt.
