Topic History of: ITV to repeat disgraced Bashir show?

david	I read that it will be shown without the scenes that led to Jackson being charged.
BarntheBarn	The showing in question is going to be edited from the original - though not clear in what way.
Emma Bee	I never form opinions of someone based on what someone else has said about them. I judge by what I see and hear first hand. Michael Jackson's music speaks for itself. His charity work, much of it done without blazing publicity, shows him in a good light. The accusations against him didn't stand up to scrutiny, either in a court of law or in the media. Lots of people huff and puff, but none can provide evidence other than to keep repeating that he looked odd and didn't conform. In the UK we used to be proud of our eccentrics because to some extent they reflected the freedom this country allowed. Now we have to attack that which we don't understand, or which doesnt fit into a nicely labelled box. I think it's all very sad. The Bashir documentary was discredited once the edited footage was made public showing, for example, how the children at Neverland were accompanied by parents when Bashir had claimed they came alone and unprotected. It was the worst form of gutter journalism. This is certainly not the right time to broadcast it, when so many people are in mourning for their family member, friend and hero. ITV could at least pretend to have some respect.
veritas	it's just been shown on Oz TV with lots of previously unseen footage and I agree..it's one of the most disgraceful programs I've ever seen. Bashir is an absolute dirtbag. Unusually..with the added footage you get an impression of Jackson being a far more human and normal person but throughout the show Bashir put's his own interpretaion on Jackson when it just isn't true, Jackon gives a really credible and human view on the baby dangling incident yet Bashir keeps butting in with talk-overs that distort the episode. Even a simple episode of Michael arriving back at his hotel in Berlin and greeting some fans , giving autographs and hugging them is portrayed as some sort of weird episode by Bashir. I'm not so sure it shouldn't be shown as it's Bashir who comes out as the creep but maybe everyone doesn't get that...whoever controls the camera gets to write the history.
Angel	Looking forward to it. It'll be interesting to watch from a different perspective. My views have changed from its original airing.
