Instead of checking their facts before putting Priscilla Presley's photograph on the front cover of their newspaper, they ran a false story! The paper stated, Thomas Presley, Elvis' cousin said Priscilla Presley was coming to town to honor an impersonator who claimed to know both Elvis & Priscilla. Being born & raised in Bayonne & a life long Elvis fan who has met Priscilla numerous times, this was news to me. And laughable! There is NO Thomas Presley! Even family members I contacted, Knew no such person! Although the Jersey Journal & NJ.com have been informed this story is false. They refuse to own up to bad journalism. And apologizing to Priscilla Presley as well as the fans. Rather than admit they blew it by NOT fact checking, researching this alleged cousin or contacting Priscilla's people or the estate of Elvis Presley, they have chosen to call Priscilla Presley a NO Show! Leaving lots of local people & fans angry at Ms. Presley. This is beyond WRON...

The Jersey Journal and NJ.com have been reporting that Priscilla Presley was coming to Bayonne today. Their source is a so called cousin, Thomas Presley . The article goes on to say Ms. Presley is coming to speak about her "friend" local Elvis impersonator. It claims both Elvis himself & Priscilla were "friends" of the impersonator.Laughable. The Jersey Journal was so bold as to put Priscilla on the cover of their paper this week. Having been involved in the Elvis world over 25 years, I made calls to family & friends of Elvis who verified they NEVER heard of a cousin named Thomas. Secondly, I contacted sources directly connected to the estate & Ms. Presley who told me they know definitely Priscilla Presley will be ELSEWHERE today . This is not anything new. We have been seeing people use Priscilla's name to promote themselves & their businesses in the last few years. It's a disgrace. Advice to "journalists" -...
