(From Newsbusters -- By Matthew Sheffield)
The CBS NEWS producer who attempted to start a wine label called JESUS JUICE while he was covering the MICHAEL JACKSON trial is beginning to backtrack after his activities were exposed.
After NEWSBUSTERS broke the story Sunday, other media outlets picked up our scoop including THE ASSOCIATED PRESS,
THE SMOKING GUN.COM and MSNBC's COUNTDOWN.
Since that time, the producer, BRUCE RHEINS, and his wife, DAWN WESTLAKE, have removed all Jesus Juice material, including the label's logo, a crucified Jackson, from their respective web sites.
THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS spoke to Rheins yesterday, he disingenuously told the paper he never intended to make money from the offensive wine label.
"My wife and I are hobby winemakers. We made a few bottles for friends. We never wanted to sell it. We only trademarked it because we didn't want other people to try to make money off it.
