The content of my blog includes research based criticizm of the current day media and their un-supported, fictional stories created for the only purpose of promoting themselves.

This blog is dedicated to the exposure of the media, the justice of Michael Jackson's personal legacy, and the current day litigation that must be re-amended.

ATTENTION READERS - BE PREPARED TO GET ANGRY!!


ATTENTION READERS: I just want to notify you that what you will be reading in my next blog is truthful fact recorded by a court of law.


If this truthful and uncontested fact does not ANGER you, I seriously ask you to ask yourself


WHY YOU ARE UNMOVED?


Our Constitution was created in a time of history where the public needed to protect their freedom of speech, and in addition to that, the press also required protection. Thus, the "Freedom of the press" was then added to the Constitution. Now, I ask you to really reflect on the time this amendment was created and added to the Constitution. Our forefathers came from a country that was a monarchy, and so they did everything in their power to make sure that the United States was a country filled with freedom and opportunity.


NEVER! did they EVER create our Constitution with the intention of protecting liars or supporting those who maliciously twist the words of the Constitution to defend their cause!


The journalistic integrity of Martin Bashir has always been one to be questioned. There are at least three cases, not including Michael Jackson, where Bashir's conniving and dishonest techniques have been under investigation. Complaints stating that Bashir's form of journalistic practice was with the intention to smear and de-fame celebrities, so that he himself could infact be a celebrity with his unsubstantial claims. Bashir has admitted to "unfairness", "breaching of contract", and "not representing the entirety" of the subject - the same alligation Michael Jackson would later make against Bashir.


Leading into the case, Bashir hired Theodore Boutrous, a high profile lawyer that represented ABC News, NBC Universal, CBS Broadcasting, FOX News, and Cable News Network. Throughout all of Bashir's testimony, Boutrous continually interrupted proceedings, objecting on the grouds that Michael Jackson's lawyer, Tom Mesereau, questions violated the California Shield Law as well as the First Amendment.


The Shield Law is a law that was created to protect the rights of journalists and the techniques they used to get their story.


Bashir had no intention of showing up to court for questioning, and believed that the ABC Network would verify his documentary and let the documentary speak for itself. Bashir wanted to avoid Michael Jackson at all cost, but the Judge ordered Bashir to testify and so he HAD to go to court.


Here is how the questioning played out in court that day:


Tom Meserau, defense attorney for Michael Jackson, "Mr. Bashir, in the show you prepared, which we've just seen, Mr. Jackson made statements to the effect that nothing sexual happened in his bed, correct""


Bashir, "Correct."


Meserau, "To obtain that interview you had with Mr. Jackson when he made that statement, you told him he was underappreciated, true?"


Bashir, "I'm standing on the broadcast privilege and the Shield Law, Your Honor."


Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, you wrote to Mr. Jackson's assistant and said you would very much like to feature Micahel wit ha large group of children, around fifty, welcoming them and sharing with them his extraordinary home so that, for one day, their lives can be enriched, right?"


Boutrous, Bashir's defense attorney, "Objection."


Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, did you request that Michael Jackson brin Macaulay Culkin so you could fim him at Neverland?"


Boutrous, "Objection, Shield Law."


Meserau, "In the process of putting this film together, Mr. Bashir, did you write to Michael Jackson's assistant and say that you wanted to film the beautiful landscape, encouraging all of us to become as little children again?"


Boutrous, "Objection, Shield Law, First Amendment."


Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, in the show about Michael Jackson, Mr. Jackson says that nothing sexual went on in his bedroom. To obtain that statement, you told Mr. Jackson that your romantic development was partially shaped by his records, true?"


Boutrous, "Objection, Your Honor. Same grounds, First Amendment."


Judge Melville, "Do you wish to answer that question?"


Bashir, "No, Your Honor."


Meserau, "Mr. Bashir, on your show, Mr. Jackson says that nothing sexual ever went on in his bedroom. To obtain that statement from him, you told him that you believe in his vision of an International Children's Holiday, correct?"


Boutrous, "Same objections."


Judge Melville, "Overruled. Do you wish to answer that question?"


Bashir, "I don't, Your Honor."


And so it went. Bashir denied to answer any questions that made it through Boutrous' objections on the case that the objections were actually overruled.


Bashir is one prime example of the many rats that are our "up and to the date" media. I don't know about you, but when the media begins tearing down ANOTHER celebrity I am sure to put no validity to their statements. They are all liars with an evil intent. To gain fame at any cost, and Michael was an easy mark.


What will they do now that Michael is dead?? Whose next?? The media has been feeding off of Michael for 30 plus years now....where is their story now?


We shall see.

  1. I know, this was and still is horrible. I read Aphrodite Jones' book. I never believed he was guilty of molesting any children, but I still found her book very eye-opening. I saw on her website she'll be doing a series special next month that will include Michael Jackson.
