What are the FACTS?
For those who plan to view this "Mocumentary" tonight please consider the following:
A DOCUMENTARY, by the nature of its name, is an account of something documented by some sort of evidence and fact.
Does this piece pass the test?
What seems to be the case here is that this piece relies entirely on milking peoples sympathy for real child abuse cases as well as the pain, and shame that the victims feel, sometimes for a lifetime. Its hard not to feel their pain.
However does THIS piece pass the test of credibility of the charges?
If not, then THIS is an abuse in of itself.
Many will use an old adage; If it walks like a duck, Quacks like a Duck and swims like a duck, it must be a duck. That is how they view Jackson.
People are FAR more complex than ducks. Jackson to say the least was a very complex individual. WW cant deny his talent and stamina. He was an eccentric person.
Those who look past their own bias will see a man who was generous to a fault. He loved kids, and YES it was too much so. He became possessive and and "smothering" and FAR too gullible and trusting of certain situations that left him wide open for scrutiny.
But the question remains, was he an abuser of kids.
I have spoken in defense of kids many times. I hate abuse in any form. But I also believe that the "Walks like a duck analogy is too vague and simplistic to apply to analyzing the complexity of a (hu)man.
One thing that should be considered is peoples lust for money and greed.
These things are to be considered as well.
My heart goes out to to Michaels Kids as well as the rest of the family. His kids are old enough to see what an ugly world this is turning into and that they will be facing. The rest will face this yet again.
WHAT is to be gained here? Jackson has been dead for 10 years. He leaves behind people who's lives have been enriched in one way or another (including monetarily)
He also leaves behind some who feel very differently or perhaps are waiting for a further monetary reward. Who Know? But the question remains; AT WHAT COST? WHO SUFFERS NOW?
Jackson is beyond suffering.
I intended to post my own list of things to look for and consider. I found something FAR BETTER. Something that will probably be left out of this so called Documentary.
Lets start with some truth and some facts or at least some viable counterpoints.

While I can not say that EVERYTHING here is 100% credible, I know that much of it is and that will be more than is offered in this show.
Dont be sheep lead around by your emotions and attempts to manipulate them.
THAT is clearly how the world is operating today. This is just another example
Money and ratings regardless of the consequences!
