 HIStory is primarily directed at the tabloid press . Starting in the late 1980s , Jackson and the press had a difficult relationship . In 1986 , the tabloids ran a story claiming that Jackson slept in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber , which Jackson stated was not true . It was reported that Jackson had offered to buy the bones of Joseph Merrick ( the " elephant man " ) . Jackson described the story as " a complete lie " . These stories inspired the pejorative nickname " Wacko Jacko " , which Jackson despised . He stopped leaking untruths to the press , so the media began making up their own stories . In 1989 , Jackson released the song and music video " Leave Me Alone " , a song about his perceived victimization at the hands of the press . The video shows Jackson poking fun not only at the press but also the situation he was in .

An 1895 case marked " Not to be officially reported " freed those implicated in the scandal from any obligation to repay the state . " Tateism " became synonymous with political corruption in the state , and Tate 's crime was frequently cited at the state 's fourth constitutional convention in 1891 . The resulting constitution expanded the one @-@ term limit that had applied to the governor since 1800 to all statewide elected officials . The legislature and voters adopted a two @-@ term limit for such officials in 1992 .
