[h=2]Fans Take Action Against Conrad Murray’s Outrageous Documentary![/h] Nov 8

Posted by mjanwatch

Even though the trial of Conrad Murray is over, and ended with a victory for Michael Jackson, his children, his family, and his fans, Murray has immediate plans to PROFIT from his crime, through a documentary. Fans, and anyone concerned with justice, must unite to stop what we feel is an atrocity about to be committed. Murray was found guilty of Involuntary Manslaughter on November 7, 2011, and was immediately remanded to jail with no parole, as he awaits sentencing on November 29, 2011. The verdict was unanimous by a jury of his peers, but Murray now expects financial gain from the killing of Michael Jackson – a human-being loved by millions. This week, NBC Universal is releasing the documentary — “Michael Jackson and the Doctor—A Fatal Friendship.” Murray did not testify on his own behalf, and was not subject to cross-examination on the witness stand. But now, his documentary will no doubt paint him as the helpless and innocent victim and Michael somehow as the guilty party. California has no Son of Sam law, preventing a convicted criminal from profiting from his crime. Murray will be making money from this crime, even as he languishes in jail awaiting sentencing.
It is the position of M.J.A.N. that the airing of this documentary is an extreme violation of media integrity. Now is the time for action, and to spread the word about what we feel will no doubt be further abuse of Michael Jackson. It was Conrad Murray judged to be guilty — not Michael Jackson.
We urge Michael’s family to speak out in the strongest terms, against this terrible violation to Michael’s dignity. We also hope that the Executors of Michael Jackson’s Estate will speak out firmly. It is Michael’s children who will suffer the most from what appears to be an outrageous and one-sided smear attempt. Michael Jackson was judged to have been killed by his doctor, and now is the time to focus on Michael’s amazing artistry, his humanitarian good-works, and the music he left behind, as a sound track for so many lives.
We urge fans to be proactive, and write and tweet and email and call, about their concerns about this documentary made by a convicted killer!
Fan-action must be swift. The documentary is scheduled to air on Friday, November 11, 2011, to be repeated on Sunday, November 13, both airings on MSNBC.
To be effective, fans must have a united voice in boycotting MSNBC and its advertisers, and they must speak IMMEDIATELY, through letters, FAXES, emails, phone calls, and tweets.
There is little or no justice for Michael Jackson if his killer is allowed to profit!
Fans are urged to write letters and FAX, to:

Thanks! I've been calling MSNBC and some of their sponsors, emailing, and soon will be tweeting! Let's hope we can stop this heinous thing!
 
I phoned channel 9 (Australia) today and was basically told that regardless of complaints they will not pull this piece of trash "documentary" from air. The guy I spoke to said that due to the "effort" that ch9 went through in getting the documentary and due to it being a "world premier" (hmm) and due to the interest in the subject (grrrrrr!!) they will not remove it.

I told them that maybe Ch9 should be a leader in this and NOT show it and that to the international community our media will look even worse than what it does now. I also explained my frustration at airing something that can only be biased because whatever Murray says in the "documentary" Michael is not here to refute the claims.

But nuh, there is no way they are budging on this.

This is going to be aired guys, and people will just suck it up and take it all as gospel. I definitely will not watch it in any capacity, but the general public will, and then they will form opinions based on fiction. I hate tabloid crap media.
 
Wait, I thought that in California a convicted criminal was prohibited from profiting of a commited crime? I'm positive that I've read about it...

I read somewhere that because he made the deal before he was convicted he can get away with it. I can't remember which forum I read that on.

But even during the trial there was some kind of a gag order, no?

Or maybe you meant that because a deal had been made before the trial began? But even in this case, wasn't Murray filming his last moments before coming to the court? If so and if he can get away with THAT, won't it just open the doors to any alleged criminal who's waiting for a trial to make a deal and film an interview before the trial begins, in order to polute the jury pool?

Couldn't the Estate just buy the documentary off and that way close all possibilities for Murray to ever speak on that subject again?

I have tweeted, posted, emailed. Dont know what else to do. I cant believe we went as far as rewarding someone responsible for another's death with attention and money. I'll never believe CM did this for free.
 
But even during the trial there was some kind of a gag order, no?

This apparently began taping since 2009, so long before the trial, and apparently they got a private company to do the footage, not public media, so this is why the gag order is irrelevant to their endeavour and their actions are perfectly legal as far as that is concerned. This is what I heard someone say Judge Pastor stated, so since it is hearsay I cannot personally confirm whether or not this is accurate, but I reckon it makes sense since it hasn't been pulled (yet).

Since the deal was struck when Murray was proclaimed innocent before being proven guilty, it does not count as profiting off crime. It's ridiculous, I know.

Of course, his lawyers are getting a percentage of the profits from this thing, which actually explains why they did such a lazy job in court. They knew it was the documentary, and not their client per se, that was going to put bread on their table...

@Ben: He was reportedly paid $1M for interviews and stuff. It's obvious he didn't do this for free, and I don't think anyone in their right mind would believe that. But the price he is paying is sitting in prison, and I hope this influences his sentencing, since he's basically flipping the bird at the justice system, a gesture which I don't think will sit well with Judge Pastor.

The whole thing is just sick. I am not surprised about the answer of channel 9 in Australia. It's expected. However, it just showed us how sick this world is. They just care about the rating. Lots of the public just care about the gosip not the truth. Sometimes I feel People just think MJ is a character in fictions not a real human being. They just go watch all these things like reading a novel or something. Chernoff said: It's not reality show, it's reality. It sounds so ironic now. I don't even know I should laugh or cry to thse cold blood people. I just hope judge Pastor can punish him as hard as he can.
 
It seems the documentary will have a different name on Channel 4 here in the UK. It will be called 'The Man Who Killed Michael Jackson'.

This is the email I received.

"Dear Mr xxxxxxxxxx,

Thank you for your e-mail regarding the upcoming documentary, The Man Who Killed Michael Jackson.

The trial of Dr Conrad Murray for the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson has dominated headlines around the world. Now that the verdict of guilty is in, this observational and independent documentary provides an insight into Dr Murray's relationship with Jackson and how events unfolded on the day he died.

Further, we would advise that Dr Murray is in no way profiting from our transmission of this film ? our licence agreement with the production company stipulates that he will not receive any proceeds from the fee we pay to licence the film.

Nevertheless, your complaint regarding this programme has been logged and noted for the information of those responsible for our programming.

Thank you again for taking the time to contact us. We appreciate all feedback from our viewers; complimentary or otherwise.

Regards,

Grace Dawson
Channel 4 Viewer Enquiries"
 
This is from a protesting fan's twitter, sorry if this has already been posted. I believe there is a need to have a thread on this important list-


MJ Fans & Advocates - ACTION ALERT! -- Only one day after the guilty verdict was rendered, Conrad Murray and the media plan to (further) exploit the man he murdered for profit and ratings. This smacks of the same level of conscienceless abuse as that autopsy program we stopped Discovery from airing months ago.

By appearing in a documentary that will undoubtedly seek to portray Conrad Murray as a ‘sympathetic’ victim of circumstance, Murray and his defense team who may well be planning an appeal – will now attempt to negate the facts of the Guilty verdict in real terms.

••It is beyond repellent that a previously well-regarded organization like NBC Universal would now seek to reward a convicted criminal for killing another human being. But that's what they've chosen to do.

In the aftermath of the Conrad Murray verdict, The Hollywood Reporter today provided details of Murray’s documentary, “Michael Jackson and the Doctor—A Fatal Friendship.”

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...-death-of-michael-jackson-manslaughter-258400

http://realscreen.com/2011/11/07/nbc-nine-network-c4-to-rush-to-air-conrad-murray-doc/

This documentary is already in the can and scheduled to air this week, starting Tuesday morning with a preview on NBC’s Today Show.

The Michael Jackson fan community and supporters MUST mobilize to obstruct this atrocity—just as we did the Discovery Channel autopsy documentary.

We succeeded then and we can succeed now.

However, this time we don’t have much time. The documentary is scheduled to air in full this coming Friday, November 11 on MSNBC and will repeat Sunday, November 13 on that same cable network.

This is a call to all fans to utilize every mode of communication possible—call, write, fax, tweet— express your outrage at this obscenity. With so little time, our approaches to obstruct this documentary are limited.

2. Commit to not watch the program and persuade everyone around you to do same.

We don’t have time to contact the sponsors of this program. Besides, that would necessitate actually watching the program, which we do not want to do.

This is just a start, but we’ve got to start today, Tuesday, November 8.

All fans should feel absolutely free to complain DIRECTLY to the perpetrators of this perversion. Here are just some of the words that describe this documentary and the motives of its makers:

• travesty
• obscene
• despicable
• grotesque
• aberrant
• corrupt
• indecent
• contemptible
• detestable
• vile
• outrageous
• shameless
• cruel
• vindictive
• malicious
• mockery
• self-serving
• abominable


Calling all members of Michael Jackson fan community:

Let’s pull together to obstruct this documentary. Let the producers and distributors behind this travesty know they are about to crash headlong into a world of protest about this attempt to profit from the unlawful killing of Michael Jackson.

We can do this! We can snatch profit from the pockets of a killer and his handlers.



Call…Write…Tweet…Fax...Share…Spread…Don’t stop!

Re: LIST of address for protesting against the Murray documentary

It should be noted that channel 4 are airing this tomorrow night so urgent action is required!!
 
I would have thrown my TV out the window in protest, but unfortunately the only TV in the room belongs to my roommate. Should I throw it anyway?
