Hello MJJC Family,
Here we have another article that needs our action; however, we are addressing it differently than our standard of directly defending and protecting Michael’s legacy. Our efforts will certainly support our mission, but indirectly. What we would like everyone to do is to respond to this article to validate and highlight Martin Bashirs lack of Journalism Ethics. Please refer below a high-level explanation of what took place and as well as the link to the actual article.
[FONT=border=]Martin Bashir was being interviewed by MSNBC's Contessa Brewer as a so called "expert" on the upcoming royal wedding. During the interview, he announced to the whole world that Contessa Brewer was expecting a child without her consent or knowledge. It took her by surprise, as she had not gone public yet with an announcement, which after all is hers to make.

His actions completely blindsided her and was completely unethical and insensitive. By responding to this article, it is another opportunity to let MSNBC know what you think of him by leaving your comments. There are plans to eventually gather all comments from the various sites in order to present a packet to MSNBC executives. [/FONT]

As always, please respond with intelligent, non-emotional and respectful comments regarding Martin Bashir’s method of reporting (i.e. disrespectful, rude, insensitive, sensationalistic, etc.). Once again, he has chosen to disregard any journalism code of ethics; all in the name of getting a story.
