I know that Martin Bashir’s trash-umentary was the catalyst that launched an investigation,and brought about the end of the life of a wonderful human being that was,”Michael Jackson”,..the artist,..the humanitarian,..the genius,..the father,..the man,..the soul of an angel! God was loving enough to send him to Earth to share his message of LOVE.Because ,it is the only way to end all that is wrong with this planet and its inhabitants.Myself,along with millions of his fans were crushed when we heard the news of his death(murder).We will be there for him,fighting for his justice.We will be his voice,and will continue to spread his message of LOVE for ever!!! The only peace I find from having lost this angel,is that I know he is in heaven with God! He is at peace in God’s loving embrace!!! Michael Joseph Jackson,…I will always love you,and miss you terribly! TAKE THAT !BASHIR.

I agree martin bashir was a back stabbing creep. I think tht the media need to be told also so tht ppl will see tht noone else is treated like mj was. Im not from america but ive heard all about bashir and his evil ways it is UNACCEPTABLE tht he is still allowed to report things.

[...] for the benefit of the people, you allow them to destroy those same people and their world with bad and unethical reporting, without bounds or consequence. Seems a little backward to me. But then a lot about America does [...]

Dont worry too much more fans, MJ will get the last laugh, Bashir’s time will come. Indeed it will come. Bashir you thought you could turn people against MJ, you did but not to the extent that you envisaged, MJ is loved globally which is the kind of attention you were seeking for yourself. Now people are really seeing you for the scum you are

I own the dvd from this “documentary”! What a hypocritical man, that Bashir. Michael trusted him so much because Bashir did an interview with Lady Diana, one of Michaels favorite persons. If I watch Michael teaching that creep Bashir the moonwalk: grrrr. And the Giving Tree, where Mike made so many beautiful songs, he makes Michael look so silly. Bashir says : balloonfights (!) and Michael corrects him by saying WATERballoonfights LOL. Michael was so childlike it gives me the shivers. L.O.V.E. was all he wanted to spread, you’ve never heard Michael saying an insult to anyone. What did poor Michael had to endure!!!Bashir, can you sleep at night, you nasty, sleazy man. You have taken away OUR Michael, that lovely, innocent person who really was concerned about children, the Planet, the future. RIP Mike and L.O.V.E. forever. Your followers will spread your L.O.V.E.

Today Michael could be alive, if Martin Bashir had been a more serious reporter !
If it had been an affectionate report about his life, Michael would still live
on Neverland with his children.
But Bashir was unscrupulous and evil. The worst call murder was done
by him. We know, after the publication of the document Michael was ruined.
He has never again really recovered from this trauma…
Bashir is the one who has Michael on his conscience!
This scum (Bashir) should be removed from ABC instead of earning money.
Sorry for my english, it’s not my language.

L.O.V.E for Michael – may you be on a better place now ..

Nightline, the ABC news show which employs Bashir, claims on its headline page that Bashir was instrumental in initiating the investigation of Michael Jackson. That page has over 1000 negative comments posted, yet ABC News keeps Bashir, despite declining viewership. ABC News does not care about the viewers or it would have terminated this animal Bashir long ago. If Bashir is instrumental in initiating the investigation, then he’s also instrumental in the death of Michael Jackson.

Bashir is real jerk who made Michael feel like he was nobody and Bashir should lose his job for what he did and people should respect Michael because he helped millions of people around the world and how many people did Bashir help….. NONE so how does a real jerk like Bashir still have his job for what he did to Michael so that he could be rich and famous!?!? Bashir u better look out because if u see me by god u wont want to see me ever again and Michael ur family,friends, and fans ALL LOVE U no matter what the tabloids say we love u! Its like u said ITS ALL FOR LOVE,L.O.V.E rest in peace!!!

I can’t believe that piece of s___! Bashir is @#%#! Stupid!!! sorry for the word but he’s so stupid!!! I don’t care what he thinks… I mean who cares of what he thinks man!? He ruined MJ for everything. He’s a garbage. Sometimes you can’t trust anyone besides God. Friends always have a potential to become enemies. I Hope Bashir’s lies will ROT with him!….TraitoR!!!!

You can tell he’s innocent just by the way he talks about children in his room. Do you honestly think he would talk openly about children sharing his bed on camera if he was abusing them? MJ seems very confused that anyone would see it as anything else then what it is. Just friends having a sleepover. MJ had the mind of a child, that’s been proven time and again. And people seem to forget its the children who ask him if they can sleep in his bed not the other way around. I know when I was a child I would have begged my parents to let me to stay in my idol’s room. And the children’s parents obviously trusted him.

Gavin only changed his story after this piece of trash was aired. If Bashir hadn’t made these disgusting insinuations the trial would never have happened. What people do for money truly disgusts me. What happened to truth and love and innocent til proven guilty?

Michael suffered from his childhood on…no one should suffer so much. In his suffering he saw the suffering of others and gave so much of himself. The name “Michael” means “Gift From God” and Michael truly was a gift from God. All of this was about money; Michael said “Money is the root of all evil” and in all of this ..all these people are evil. To this day if I make a comment about Michael on the internet I will receive terrible answers. They still believe he would abuse a child. They don’t want to see the truth; they want money. Michael saw children in a spiritual way – the only hope to heal this world. GOD BLESS MICHAEL JACKSON. All these people will stand before God one day and have to answer for it all.

I’ve watched ” Living with Michael..” many times since his death. It seems as if I watched it with my eyes closed when it first came out because now I see what hurt my Michael so deeply. There was nothing wacko or crazy about him, he made perfect sense, every word. We do need to start standing up to bullsh** people try to feed us. Had we stood up then, maybe Michael would still be here. In the documentary he said he wants to live forever…you will, baby. And those that truly love you will get to dance with you at one of your concerts in heaven. MICHEAL JACKSON FOREVER!!

Michael was an extra-ordinary human being with God given talents. He showed us that LOVE could conquer misery and suffering. He left behind a lasting message of hope. I thank God for giving us Michael. Some people never understood him. Their cruelty resulted in bringing an end to a beautiful life. May his memory live for ever. May he rest in peace.

After Michael Jackson’s death and learning about who he really was it’s very easy to watch this and understand everything that he ( MJ ) says. If you were to remove all of Martin Bashir’s opinions and commentary you will discover a beautiful human being. Martin Bashir had the once in a life time opportunity to go into this interview with an open mind and really get to know one of the greatest human’s that ever walked this earth. He could have learned something from this experience to look at life from a different perspective but he went through the experience judging and comparing Michael’s choices to his own. How can you possibly compare MJ to a regular guy.. he is NOT and never was.. no one has seen life through his eyes. We are talking about someone who was born with a gift of more than music but of a true heart full of LOVE. There’s two kinds of people.. one’s who look at this from a negative judgmental point of view and others who listen to what he’s actually saying and understand that he is an individual unlike any other so there is no comparison.
The way he interacted with those children makes it so obvious why he loves them so much.. he doesn’t have to explain himself, argue or defend who he is. He cared about the WORLD and wanted to repair the human condition.. this was a man that was put on the earth to do GOD’s work and the more he started to realize that the more he became a target. I have learned so much from MJ’s life and I will forever be grateful!…

I have firm belief in the sayings of our beloved MICHAEL JACKSON. I love him. His fans LOVE him. Then if we love him so much and praise for him then why don’t we believe in him. He is telling the truth. As he said there are some ingnorant people which make up these stupid rumours about him. His music will live on forever. He is innocent. He has faced many great problems in his life from his childhood till his death :’( we are to believe in that trustworthy man………… I LOVE YOU MICHAEL JACKSON WE THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD LOVE YOU………….

I knew Martin Bashir was the trigger who caused Michael Jackson a gross injustice. And then a baseless, protracted trial in full view of the world’s lens gave Michael sustained agony. Even after his acquittal, Michael was facing relentless vilification by a media that chose to simply disregard a verdict they found economically inconvenient. That guy Bashir should be one of the murderers who is culpable for Michael’s early death and his guilt can’t be denied. Without Bashir’s episode, Living with Michael Jackson, there wouldn’t be another unjustified accusation, engineered cruelty, great torment and unmitigated persecution that Michael suffered from.

We are all destined not to live forever; but sometimes I choke a bit to see people like this Bashir still walking the streets of this world and having a time of their lifes, and I can’t resist thinking “Oh God! why did you take away such a wonderful person like Michael from this world…. we still needed him sooo much. Why didn’t you take Bashir instead?” Such people like Bashir bring nothing to this world , but only sorrow and unhappiness. Who need such lunatics like him anyway?! I HATE this man Bashir with passion; moreso that he robbed us all of such a wonderful human being. Such evil people like Bashir even don’t deserve to breath the same oxygen as all other deserving human beings.

I AGREE WITH ALL THAT HAS BEEN SAID HERE. HOWEVER, WE NEED TO GET IT BEYOND THE INTERNET. MAINSTREAM MEDIA AND THEIR SO-CALLED “EXPERTS” NEED TO HEAR OUR VOICE AND UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO MICHAEL WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN!!! THEY NEED TO KNOW WE ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF THEIR LIES, DECEIT AND TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE REPUTATION OF GOOD AND DECENT PEOPLE LIKE MIKE.
WHAT WE CAN DO IS TO INUNDATE THEM WITH EMAILS EVERYTIME THEY MAKE A NEGATIVE REPORT ABOUT MIKE. CALL THEM OUT ON IT AND INSIST THEY PROVIDE SOLID PROOF OF WHAT THEY ARE SAYING OR WE WILL CONSIDER IT ALL LIES!!!! THE THOUGHT OF THEM JUST GOING ALONG THEIR MERRY WAY AND NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT WAS DONE TO HIM REALLY BOTHERS ME… IT BOTHERS ME A LOT!!! UNTIL THEY DEAL WITH THIS PUBLICLY, THERE WILL BE NO JUSTICE FOR MIKE. MY HEART HURTS FOR THIS GENTLE, KIND, PEACEFUL, LOVING MAN. MIKE, WE WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!

So many wonderful ideas and comments here, for example, Joy, Laura, Jennifer and June suggesting people write to news corporations, check out Proof of Innocence film on fanclub site. I think writing to these news corps are fine ideas and should be done asap by as many as possible for as long as possible. Without us doing that, they will never know how upset we are at what happened and they will never re-evaluate what is valuable. It is my desire that the whole journalistic world could re-evaluate what is important, what is sustainable. Surely money alone is not? Surely we must live in a society. To do that we must have and show compassion to others? And surely a story that is truthful, even if not sensational, is a story that people will want to hear? If not, what have we done to our world that we have blocked our ears so we cannot hear or see the good in others or want to hear? Is the only sense of community we have online in these chat forums? I would so love someone well-known to do a film about how wonderful Michael was and how much we the world actually lost when he died.

Martin Bashir was rewarded for his deliberate annihilation of Jackson’s very soul. After all, he landed a contract with ABC as a result of his slaughter-documentary on MJ. Bashir’s heavy-handedness in portraying a slanted view of Jackson has gone unpunished, which only gives unspoken license for the world of journalism to continue such practices without caution. I would like to see journalists be held to an oath, such as that in a court of law: “the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.”

Assusta observar que canais dos meios de comunicação, cujo dever é transmitir notícias e informações, permitem a difamação e boatos sobre qualquer pessoa, com o objetivo de destruí-la. Nesse caso eu uso do controle remoto e mudo de canal. Este Bashir deve achar um psicólogo para descobrir porque é obcecado em destruir Michael Jackson. A palavra deste Bashir é repugnante e claramente tendenciosa, desmerecendo e envergonhando a classe jornalística.

JOURNALIST : From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: a journalist collects and disseminates information about current events, people, trends, and issues. [...] ETHICS in journalism: [...] “Professional integrity is the cornerstone of a journalist’s credibility.” PERSONAL OPINION: a journalist must reflect reality in an objective manner. He/she has to imagine himself/herself like a mirror of the event/person/situation that is about to be exposed to readers, audience etc. Any personal opinion is an unprofessional intrusion and distorshions to truth, insulting and confusing the intelligence of the public. Referring to Bashir’s interview and similar materials: I think that in order to avoid dilettantism, before broadcasting or publicizing it, the material should be presented to the interviewee and finally to a professional ethic’s commitee for consideration. It is impossible to evaluate the level of education and understanding of the public, as it is “under construction”, but we are not all ignorant. Bashir, you acted like a broken mirror (not reflecting the truth) in your relation with MR. MICHAEL JACKSON who generously gave you his confidence. Who do you think will ever trust your “performance” again? You are a shame on the society which invested in your past, but I’m sure that not in your future. If currently employed.. that gives me a “great” idea about your employer. You made money by insulting our intelligence and offending Michael Jackson, an honest man, a father, the King…

I feel everyone’s pain; however having been in such anguish and unable to find closure in Michael’s passing I believe the necassary vindication we can achieve for this beautiful soul is to petition abc.com about Bashir. If all MJ’s fans can do this I believe the power in numbers might be the begining of the larger vindication and conspiracy that lead to MJ’s death. In addition Tom Sneddon, Diane Dimond and other top Hollywood players roles in his tribulations cannot be overemphasized.

We can go further and we can finally make all the people believe Michael’s Innocence, even though it’s too late. Please go to the web site and check it out. Let’s make MB get out of the job.

I would have been happy to live with Michael Jackson without distorting the truth. Bashir was very lucky to be around Michael. Many, many people would have loved to and wouldn’t have abused the privilege, would’ve been more than happy to be Martin.
It’s a shame that Michael passed before Martin Bashir. Michael actually deserved to live.

Give Michael Justice Now.

We cannot just sit here and write. We need to call out all these news channels, paparazzi, talk show hosts, radio hosts who want to be celebrities, stars, if they reach Michael levels. I add an S because he had so many levels. Then I will call them and tell them that, as far as I am concerned, they have no talent, no heart. They conspire against him because of his gifts and blessings from God. We need to tell them what we think they are; that there will never be anyone like him again in the world. He had so much strength. I know they used to say and keep saying we want to take him down; but he said get up people. His fans love and believe in him. None of them have the love and fans like Michael had.

Bashir must go, the sooner the better. If he lied about this documentary, how many times has he manipulated the words and images of others? He is not one you can now trust to deliver news or statements. I’m very shocked at how American television executives allowed this to run, and how the media handled this situation for so long. No one has ever stepped forward and said, I’m sorry for the part I played in attempting to damage his life and career. MJ deserves vindication. All journalists need to be made to pay and Bashir, the dirtiest of them all, does not need to work on TV again. Bashir knew that millions of people would see this documentary. His part was to damage MJ’s character and play a great part in the trial against MJ. Bashir is a dangerous and lying journalist.

When this documentary first aired back in 03 I was pretty excited and anxious too see this documentary about Michael J. I caught it the first night it aired in the U.S. and was interested in learning about Michael. At first it seemed okay but, as I watched this documentary further along something seemed to be not right. In the last two parts of the documentary Martin seemed to be kinda rude and nitpicky. After it was over I could not help but think that something does not seem right. After Michael died I did not even know that there was a take two version. I am trying get CBS network to air it but I am having trouble finding the address to them to mail a letter my e-mail currently is not working properly due to a fire wall. Sometimes when I think about Michael I smile and sometimes I get misty in my eyes like now knowing of all the terrible things he had to endure. It is time the truth was revealed and not just through the internet but through tv and through any other outlet to get out the truth.

Martin Bashir envergonhou a classe jornalistica de credibilidade ao ter essa atitude de defamar alguém como Michael Jackson que sempre fez o bem ao mundo inteiro,seja atravéz de suas músicas ou de seus trabalhos humanitário. De forma traiçoira e premeditada Bashir,traiu a confiança de alguém que abriu a sua casa e seu coração para recebe-lo tão generosamente. Martin Bashir deveria se envergonhar por ter agido de forma tão desumana. As emissoras que tem credibilidade e respeito ao público jamais deveria abrir suas portas para esse homem desonesto e traidor. Abaixo Martin Bashir.Ele deve ser expulso do meio jornalistico.

I have signed many petitions to fire Bashir that backstabber who betrayed Michael’s trust. This man will forever be haunted by the lies he conjured with his documentary. Michael was too naive and trusting, he thought this evil man will tell the truth, but to Michael’s dismay Bashir cut and pasted what he wanted in order to create a sensationalized version, to appease the hungry media like Diane Demon and Tom Sneddon and a public who wanted to prove that Michael was weird and Neverland was a horror house, unsafe for children. Well, Bashir will never be a happy man. Now that Michael is no more the truth will come out, it is sad but true. The FBI files proved it. No one wanted to give Michael this respect when he was alive. The hungry media wanted to bring him down simply because he was larger than life, full of love and has accomplished what they cannot in a zillion lifetimes. Jealousy and race played a huge part in all this.

It was torture to see the documentary back in 2003, and I was heartbroken for Michael. Bashir is a very unethical, two face, selfish, untrustworthy opportunist traitor. He twisted the interview to fit his intention to bring down Michael Jackson and make money on that. Michael had granted him the interview due to the reference of Lady Diana’s interview and he was supposed to be cautious of what to bring to the public and what not. Michael thought that he would be fair. It was only because of Michael’s big heart and belief in people, that Martin was allowed to come with all those disgusting, speculative, personal insulting questions and accusations. The interview that Michael allowed Martin Bashir to have was the beginning of the end.

To ABC: You were once a network that I enjoyed watching and respected for bringing real, honest news reporting. I was very disappointed with this documentary and hiring Bashir to do it was a low down shame. Even when Maury Povich followed up on Bashir’s documentary, showing MJ’s cameraman going at the same time on TV, you still allowed Bashir’s documentary to air and you continued to air it after MJ’s death! You should FIRE Bashir and give Michael an official apology even though he’s not here to receive it. You owe it to his children and his family.

To Bashir: Shame on you, how dare you! You have Michael’s blood on your hands.

To Michael: I love you dearly forever, miss you terribly.

Martin Bashir will get his just reward one day – I believe he already has a brain tumour. He is like a snake in the grass, he pretended to understand Michael Jackson. But he was really waiting to pounce on him through his documentary. I think he began this whole “media against Michael Jackson” and the ridicule of this wonderful and talented human being. Michael really did not deserve what he was dished out, particularly by the general public. They all turned against him. I feel a lot of this also was because he was so talented that nobody – but nobody could touch him. So slander was the next step. I honestly believe that Michael really died in spirit during the 2005 trial. Even though he was acquitted, he did not have real vindication. I love you Michael and rest in peace.

We all should start to take action about these things now and make the change! I love you, Michael, rest in peace, we all love you forever. You are always the greatest person in this world and you will never die and never fade. You are always the best and we will alway support you and always be on your side! Martin Bashir should be fired. Teach him a lesson by losing his job!

Hi! Everybody! I have not watched the video yet, but I will be catch them up when I have time, I have read all your comment, and thank you for the people who are setting up this website and help to support Michaeal and maintain his reputation and protect his humanity and also keep his legacy well!

I REALLY HATE MARTIN BASHIR, he has no reason to say anything bad about Michael Jackson and Michael has NOT done anything bad in his life. I believe Michael is a REALLY GREAT and also a REALLY AMAZING person, I admire his humanity and what he has done to contribute in the world. I DON’T BELIEVE any of the media, what they say about Michael Jackson. The reason why all the media in the world say bad things about Michael is because of what Martin Bashire did. He infected all the media. I think Martin should get on with his own life. He is NOT really deserving to continue his career. He made all the media and all the journalists in the world to believe him and create the bad news about Michael by criticising him. What an evil man. When I start to know these things, I was feeling really sad. Poor Michael, you do NOT really deserve these things! I think we all need to work to stop ABC to continue to hire Martin. Let him to go and walk on the street. He has betrayed Michael’s trust and he is NOT really honest about these things. It makes me feel angry about these things!

I really don’t know if it was MB’s intention to comment like he did at the moment of the interview. I did not think like this before, but since a couple of days, I thought that maybe it is possible he did not have a bad intention initially, but, or, changed his mind, or got under pressure from somebody. Maybe he was forced to do what he did. No excuse at all for him, but there surely are strange and bad forces that tried to destroy Michael and his family as well. They are still there. All the haters have about the same way of expressing themselves : the language that they use is just disgusting. I would not trust one of them. They are sick in their mind. Poor people. As for the tabloids : they do not know Michael at all, and have not interest in him. Only sales and money count. Otherwise they would report differently. We just have to stay on internet for the rest of our lives to unite.

Ik ken de documantaire en vind het walgelijk hoe hij het vertrouwen van Michael heeft geschaad. Je ziet gewoon hoe onschuldig Michael is en hoe lief en zachtaardig hij is, daar zit echt geen kwaad in. Ze moegen van mij ( maar dat mochten ze van mij al sinds ik weet wat hij gedaan heeft ) die Martin Bashir eens flink onder handen nemen en zijn carriere om zeep helpen want dit is geen tv maken. Het heeft Michael heel erg gekrenkt en dat doet mij veel verdriet.

I love Michael Jackson because he’s a powerful soul. He was one of a kind. He’s been thru hell and back. Thank you all MJ fans. Thanks for not being blind to MJ’s powerful thriving to show what he is made of.

Michael was destroyed by an utterly disgusting not close but a totally evil person. I pity Michael. Up to now, he’s still the subject of criticism and mockery. I know for sure he wouldn’t open his mouth to defend himself but will let truth prevail. Both Jesus and Michael were crucified on the cross, literally with Jesus and figuratively with Michael but we didn’t hear a single word from either of them. There’s no point comparing him to Jesus because Jesus is Jesus and Michael is just merely a mortal but like I said, he is close to being perfect. Martin Bashir, I should say, step out of the limelight which you enjoyed for 6 years or so all at the expense of Michael Jackson.

Martin Bashir is the epitome of evil. To distort this honest man’s words and portray him as something sinister was the antithesis of what a ‘journalist” should stand for. He lied and made a mockery of a human being’s life. He brought an innocent man to his grave. Now it’s time for Martin Bashir to pay the penalty. It’s too late for MJ but maybe canning Bashir will help save some other person from the same fate.

Bashir must go. He edited the interview to ridicule Michael Jackson. Who else has he edited to make them how he wants them to be? This is not right, it’s the least honest reporting. ABC, you were once a network that took pride in your news reporting, but since MJ’s first allegations you dropped the ball. You became another station out for ratings. Hiring Bashir, the one guy that got inside Neverland, to falsely befriend MJ, to picture him as an animal, to defame him, is a low down shame. Even when Maury Povich did a follow up of Bashir’s documentary, showing MJ’s cameraman going at the same time on TV, you still allowed Bashir’s documentary to air and you continued to air it after MJ’s death. To Bashir, I would say, “Shame on you” but it’s obvious you have no shame. This documentary, as you call it, was to degrade and humiliate Michael Jackson. Bashir has showed us he cannot be trusted with reporting news.

Really! I cannot believe this guy or any of the other tabloid trash! And I thought the press and its tabloid crap at the market stands was annoying enough! Bashir, may you be reborn as someone who knows what poor Mike went through. RIP Michael Jackson! P.S. I hate the press and its lurid products! Grrr!

Bashir is a disgusting man.. it’s so hard to know that people believed his words. Martin destroyed the Michael’s life, reputation, legacy and still now make many people believe in lies.. in insults in shames like this. I hope that one day this awful man will be punished.. because it’s so so sad.. I love you Michael

I have felt and said (the same, like) all of you who feel anger towards what this man had done. Even if it wasn’t Michael Jackson, you don’t do what he did to anyone as rule no. 1, really. You don’t have to be a journalist to have a little decency to be a human being. But what I want is for this man to never ever get a job. What I want is for him to be sued, to be in court. It all started Michael’s terrible life. Love you MJ. Always supported you. Enough words….where are the actions…im too far away outside of america but what can i do?

I hate the way that Bashir patronises and sucks up to Michael in the real interview and then displays none of that in his own version. He must have had Michael totally confused with all his crawling. Then he portrays Michael as a complete idiot and sinister weirdo in the final edit of his show. What an utterly dangerous and unethical man he is! We must do all we can to ensure that he can no longer sponge by making a career from damaging the reputation of honest and upstanding people. Michael was a straight shooter all the way through the interview, but the problem was that the world didn’t get a chance to see it. Bashir even caused trouble for Michael’s family by leaving out the many compliments Michael gave to his own father. That’s evil.

Bashir is the pinnacle of everything that is wrong about media, and, actually, with the world. He took advantage of a guy who was kind enough to open his house and his life to Bashir, backstabbing him in order to make a fortune. Those who make others feel bad so that they can feel good about themselves or gain something should go to jail. He had no right to hurt him the way he did. He caused a lot of damage to his image, to the point that his nasty interview ended up grabbing the police´s attention. This interview was basically the basis for Michael´s second trial, and what a nasty circus that was. Even when it was over and Michael was cleared of all charges, people never saw him the same way. He had to end up going into hiding for the last few years of his life. I live in Venezuela, and the media wasn´t any nicer here, either. It´s sad because at the time I didn´t really know much about Mike, and now that he´s gone and that I´ve understood his value, I wish I had done more to help.

In the beginning of the documentary (and all through it) you can see how Bashir had gained Michael’s trust and how he betrayed him with the nasty comments. The nagging about plastic surgery etc – what has it to do with anything. The only decent interview I have seen is the one with Geraldo.

I can’t believe this guy….he left the truth out of the interview …really like when they were talking about the skin color change the bashir guy didn’t even include that mj had a skin disease. Really…this interview was supposed to be about the truth, but all it turned out to be was backstabbing towards michael.

It is alarming to see just what the media are capable of pulling…and they suffer no consequences at all. Yet, those subjected to the media’s poisoned pens suffer endlessly in their attempts to disprove the falsehoods leveled at them, often resulting in dire consequences to their reputations. Basic journalism used to require at least two credible sources before a story could be published. Ask Dan Rather, who appears to have been the sacrificial lamb for the collective world of journalism. As I recently watched “Geraldo”, Kimberly Guilfoyle was standing in for Rivera and was reporting on the Tiger Woods debacle. She credited “TMZ” and “The Enquirer” as her sources for the “facts!” What an insult. The more research I have done on Jackson’s life, the more deeply sorrowful I feel for what was done to him. Few could have withstood it for so long and still had the courage to continue with their dreams in front of a largely prejudiced public. Bashir MUST go…now.

Someone who used to work for Sony conducted an interview that was published after Michael passed. It regards Martin Bashir’s dishonesty. In it, the Sony guy said that he (Michael Jackson) was smart enough to use his own video camera in addition to Bashir’s video camera. The footage clearly showed that Martin Bashir just twisted everything; that he edited Michael’s responses into lies. In one segment, Bashir asks Michael a question. “Are you gay?” Michael responds, “I don’t want to answer that question.” Bashir’s version was edited to cut quickly to Bashir, who states that Michael didn’t want to answer for “obvious” reasons. In the accurate footage, when asked, “Are you gay?” Michael responds, “I don’t want to answer that question.” Then, in the truthful, unedited version, Michael goes on to say, “But if you turn your camera off, I will answer your question.” Once the cameras are off, Michael continues, “No. Absolutely not. I am not gay, but I have millions of gay fans, and if they believe I’m gay, then let them believe I’m gay.” He says, “I don’t care. I don’t want to offend anybody.”

I watched this travesty several times to my great sadness and disgust. It is so transparent to the VIEWER that Bashir was setting Michael up with a false sense of trust, like a spider spinning his live victim into a web to kill him later! Michael never saw it coming. Bashir cleverly edited some of Michael’s responses and added his own sinister wrap-around commentary during post-production, showing just what a snake in the grass he really is! This is only one example of the kind of toxic “medialoid” journalism Michael endured for most of his life — the results of which I believe ultimately contributed to his demise. Mainstream media should bury their collective heads in shame for breaking the spirit of an innocent man. That should be easy, as they seem to share one single hollow soul. Bashir is a camel trader in a designer suit. I am heartbroken that Michael Jackson is being spoken of in the past tense, and with such injustice to his memory. BASHIR MUST GO!

Martin Bashir’s comments during this documentary make me sick. Watch it after you see him talk to Michael behind the scenes. Bashir tries to appear like a friend, emphatically stating that it almost makes him weep when he sees Michael with his children. After expressing his clear admiration of Michael with children, he then goes before the camera and in the documentary says that he was “worried about the children”! Martin Bashir is one sick man. How could he sleep at night? How could he bear himself? This documentary is a shame on ABC and any network that dares to broadcast it!

This documentary is biased and disgusting. It is filled with innuendo, speculation, personal insults, and unfounded critiques. It is very disrespectful to Michael’s legacy.
