SHOW IS PLANNED TO AIR AGAIN TONIGHT SEPT 4TH AND TOMORROW SEPT 5TH!!!
please take action!


On Canadian TV (CBC NEWS), they've just aired (Wed Sept 1st, show ended at 11pm) a 'reportage' called 'the passionate eye' about Michael Jackson.. it was called ''What really happenned''

They were actually saying that all the facts points that Michael Jackson had indeed molested Jordan Chandler back in the 90's and that after he gave him millions to shut up, Michael's ego became so big that he was building statues of himself and put them around the world (HIStory statue)

They showed the images of LaToya's interview saying she accuses Michael and saw things happening. They also talked about the Arvizo's case.

They talk about Diane Dimon, Tom Sneddon as victims of Michael's powerful entourage etc...

PLEASE WRITE TO THEM TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK!

Here's what I wrote to them:

The show is not over yet, but I'm disgusted by what I'm seeing and hearing! Are you really broadcasting a 'reportage' about Michael Jackson being actually guilty of molesting kids???
Are you being friend with all his ennemies?
I'm ashamed to ...be a canadian tonight watching what you do without even checking your informations!

What do you want to do, there's a person in your company tired of seeing people finally pay their respect to Michael Jackson?

Haven't you heard that Michael Jackson's sister, LaToya, said time after her declaration that she was forced by her ex-husband to say what she said then about the allegations? Haven't you heard that Jordan Chandler said recently that Michael never did anything wrong to him, and that soon after, his dad, Evan Chandler shot himself in the head out of shame? Haven't you read Aphrodite Jones book relating all the facts of the 2005 thrial against Arvizo's family, and how they had a past or trying to extort money from everybody, how nothing they said actually matched the proofs?

What are you trying to do??? Please explain! This is not entertaining nor informative, it's diffamation, simply.

You have completely lost me as a viewer. And many more since I told everybody I know about what you've just done.

Please explain your motives to broadcast such a bunch of bullshit on canadian TV.

Thanks.

Here's the description of the show from their website:

MICHAEL JACKSON, WHAT HAPPENED?
Wednesday September 1 & Saturday September 4 at 10 pm ET/PT and Sunday September 5 at 8 pm ET on CBC News Network


Two years ago, Michael Jackson was acquitted on charges of child molestation, but instead of returning to his home in Neverland, he disappeared, wandering the globe for two years. Writer and self-proclaimed lifelong Jackson fan Jacques Peretti wanted to find out why. What drove Michael Jackson, once crowned the 'King of Pop' to such spectacular self-destruction?

From the alleged cruelty that Jackson suffered at the hand of his father to the rumours that whirled around the mystique of '***** *****', Jacques finds that all is not as it seemed in the fairytale world inhabited by Jackson.

Peretti's journey starts in Las Vegas, where he finds a Jackson memorabilia auction in the back room of a casino. Previously valued in excess of $5 million, today over 2000 lots are provoking little interest. Determined to find out how the Jackson story has come to this, Jacques tracks down the people who were closest to Jackson, and who talk frankly about the darkest moments in his life

As Jackson's manager for nearly two decades, Bob Jones saw everything first hand. In his first interview on camera Bob explains how he worked to build Jackson's legacy, including devising the King of Pop moniker, through to Jackson's darker days, when he saw his boss's behaviour drawing increasingly adverse attention: "When you see something going wrong, you can tell the person, you shouldn't do that."

Probing into Jackson's past, Peretti meets one of the music supremo's oldest friends, Randy Taraborrelli, who explodes the myth that Jackson was beaten by his father. And it doesn't stop there, as Randy claims '***** *****' was a construction - "a bizarre character for the media's consumption."

As Peretti moves through the Jackson story he meets Victor Guttierez, the investigative reporter who first uncovered allegations of child abuse, and Di Dimond, who broke the first allegations of child abuse and pursued every lead for the next ten years. In his first interview, Guttierez recalls how the allegations unfolded and both he and Dimond present a dark and complex story - this programme tells the story of Michael Jackson in a way never seen before.
 
Hey Legacy team, we haven't done anything in a while. Can we address this TV show?

Please, I'm hitching to kick some but. (with my keyboard of course) :)
 
No it's not a new programm.. but it still was aired yesterday, and I don't see any valuable reason to air something like this..

I hope Legacy team will answer :)

I wrote them (CBC), please do so. I want to be the only one fighting to keep MJ's legacy clean and true in this case.

Go and kick some virtual butt :)

riviera1992, you are more than welcome to please yourself with this one :)
 
If the program has already aired, I don't see what we can do.

If we had known about it previously we could have attempted to stop them airing it, fans have been successful in doing that in the past.

Now it has aired and people have seen it, the damage has been done.

What would we hope to achieve now? Well, we can write to them to express how disappointed we are with the program, that's about it.

I'll post this in the Legacy Team staff room, tomorrow, and see what the Media Advocacy people have to say.

edit: Posted it.

Thank you Carine for letting us know.

The show has already aired, so we are dealing with damage done. As it is too late to intervene proactively, our next equally important step is to express our disappointment as a community in order to prevent similar airings in the future.

I will alert the fellow members of the Media Advocacy team to decide on this and we'll keep you posted.
 
Unfortunately, a lot of people believe this. The minute MJ "settled" the first case, that was the end of his innocence in a lot of people's eyes. There really isn't much we can do...some will not change their minds about him....it's fruitless...that's why this forum is so important. We need to keep spreading the message about Michael's innocence, and him being the target over and over...We know he was innocent. And that's most important.

It scheduled to air two more times this weekend so it's worth emailing them.

If these people would do just a little bit more reading... *smacks head against the wall*
 
It IS planned to air again twice this weekend!!

I wrote them a second time to ask them to change their programation and put something else instead of that.

But if I write alone, it will do nothing. I need you guys. Michael's Legacy needs you, please!

''Wednesday September 1 & Saturday September 4 at 10 pm ET/PT and Sunday September 5 at 8 pm ET on CBC News Network''

There's nothing that can't be done, if we raise our voices as one.
 
Carinemjj

We thought it had no use to take action now since they already aired the show but then I saw with shock and horror that the show will be aired twice this weekend so the media advocacy team has written to its e-mail members asking them all to react on CBC's website. What an appalling and disgusting 'mockumentary' with lies and crap about Michael. We cannot let this pass. I hope the members all respond.
 
Hello MJ Family Memebers and Team-Mie's,:wub:

I just wanted to let you know what I wrote to the CBC broadcasting company in Canada, regarding the"MOCK" Documentary they aired about Michael ..:evil::mat::devil:

This is what I wrote to these parrasites in Canada, we are truely ashamed to be Canadian today Family..:(:no:


Attention Directors at CBC Broadcasting Company Inc.

I am deeply offended and shocked to see the US Media influence has so deeply poisoned the television programming of the CBC !!

I cannot believe the CBC has decided to act and behave like it's low class conterparts of the "US Media". I used to pride myself on thinking Canada had it's own opinion and views of the news from around the world and were above the degridation of the Media in other countries.

Apparently, the CBC dosen't do it's OWN research, nor does is it impartial to whatever the US has to say as truth in the case of Michael Jackson. I always thought the CBC was a highly respected and admired source for HONEST and sincere stories you won't get anywhere else.

As well as a commited desire to educate it's Canadian public with aleast some TRUTH to what it airs.

It hurts me to know it was ALL a lie. You are no better then the lowest form of propaganda tabloids as "Hello" and "The Inquirer" in a long line of trash for hire. I have no respect for a news broadcaster that has to resort to airing the GREATEST LIES ever told and call themselves informed.

Congrats on reaching your lowest level of journalism I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing, I won't embarass myself by telling anyone I have ever watched anything you will produce in the future.

I will pass this along to anyone I know on FaceBook and any other source, that gets your attention by dropping your ratings so quickly, that maybe you will have time to remember what is required to be a INDEPENDANT, FREE THINKING and most of all true INTEGRITY of being a real Canadian..

I am glad I found this out before I ever LIE to the next generation of veiwers about your kind of forgettable programming.

Shame on you and shame on who ever approved this to air as professional journalism and went to there home thinking they did their job well..kudos!!

Truely disgusted and ashamed of you CBC..

Sincerley,
Bree Crosby..


I encourage you all to do the same..:evil::mat::devil:

I promise you they will NOT get away with it where I LIVE !! NEVER !!:clapping::agree::wub:


Thank you little MJ :angel:Carinemjj

always,
MJ TinkerBell..:agree::punk::clapping::angel:

Thank you Carine and MJJLaugh for the updates. It is truly horrible they insist on airing such a disgusting program!
Bree, thank you so much for your dedicated efforts and for sharing your heartfelt letter.
As things stand, the more we respond via their contact form, the better.
Please make sure to keep the media advocacy team posted on any responses you may receive.

:wub:
 
I also emailed my family in Quebec to send them this template; a combination of various "official" templates.

[The media has taken every opportunity to belittle and torment Michael Jackson during his life. Just because someone is a celebrity, does not make it acceptable to spread lies or to allow the disrespectful treatment to continue after they are gone. As you understand, the airing of this documentary is highly insulting and disrespectful to a man that shared his extraordinary talent and charitable works with the entire humanity for decades.

A jury of Michael’s Jackson’s peers found him to be not guilty of all of the charges from the 2005 trial. The reason for this is because the evidence that was presented by the prosecution did not substantiate the charges. There were many inconsistencies in the evidence and testimonies of the prosecution witnesses. To insinuate that Michael Jackson was acquitted of the charges because he was wealthy has no merit. Please refer to a few important facts to consider. Sources for the information below can be available upon request.

· DA Tom Sneddon was the same District Attorney who was in charge of trying to bring charges against Michael Jackson in 1993. Three grand juries refused to indict Michael Jackson because was no evidence for an indictment.
· Michael Jackson did not settle with the Chandlers from the 1993 case, his insurance company did and it was against his wishes.
· Once the Chandlers received the money, they were nowhere to be found. Why is it that they accepted the money verses going to the authorities and remaining steadfast in their fight to bring their child’s perpetrator to justice?
· The 1993 case was never closed out, therefore leaving the door open for DA Tom Sneddon to be able to dig up possible evidence in order to go back after Michael Jackson.
· DA Tom Sneddon had a personal vendetta against Michael Jackson and had mischaracterized the case from day one.
· DA Tom Sneddon had been searching for accusers since the previous case fell apart in 1993. He went as far as to travel around to world looking for someone to come forth and say that Michael Jackson abused them. He could find no one.
· Janet Arvizo was investigated for fraud involving money in the past. It was proven during the trial that Janet Arvizo and her family have been involved in many extortion attempts with other celebrities, JC Penny and the state of California.
· Janet Arvizo also hired several attorneys and private investigators to look for information on Michael Jackson before she even met him in January 2000.

Michael Jackson’s music and humanitarian efforts were many and should be the focus of his legacy for his children's sake. His contributions have been overlooked due to the sensationalistic and inaccurate stories that have been and are currently being reported. It is my hope that your organization is interested in aligning with the Journalism Code of Ethics and you wish to only report a story honestly with accuracy and integrity. It is important that Michael Jackson’s legacy be preserved in a positive light as he was a caring, generous, gifted and loving human being who only saw what good could be done in this world in light of the obstacles he encountered.

Worthy alternatives that are unbiased and give a much better understanding of who Michael Jackson really was are listed below:
- "The Untold Story of Neverland" by Larry Nimmer. For more details please see www.nimmer.net
- Michael Jackson - Legend
- Or you could air "Moonwalker" or "The Wiz" the two movies which he starred.

Best Regards,
xxx]
 
I think I saw that same documentary the day after Michael died, it was indeed on CBC. I find it was the worst documentary I've ever seen, far worst that Martin Bashir's documentary. I do love CBC, but they should quit showing it again.
 
I may be late to the party, however, this is what I chose to send them:

To Whom It May Concern,

Unless you are willing to provide absolutely irrefutable evidence to back up your opinions/stances on the Michael Jackson cases, please abstain from referring to the ridiculous ensemble of opinions you call a documentary as "what really happened."

I kindly remind you on the fact that the Arvizo family's allegations were completely ludicrous and failed to stand against Thomas Messereau's cross-examination during the 2005 trial. Moreover, the same can be said of the original 1993 allegations fabricated by the Chandler family. As anyone who has done their research can tell you--the description Jordan Chandler provided to the police was incompatible with the actual object being described. The father of the boy was also taped in a phone conversation revealing his evil schemes, as all villains do because their egos are just too great to contain.

By all means, listen to the tape and tell me that sounds like the father of a boy who's just been molested. You're all kidding yourselves if you really believe such filth. Then again, I seem to be forgetting who it is I am addressing in this attempt at reasoning. It is the mainstream media--the antithesis of truth. You all put reporting and journalism to shame with your heavily biased productions. You're all living mockeries of your professions and collectively destroy all you claim to stand for--I hope that knowledge satisfies you.

Of course, idealistic concepts such as journalistic integrity are beneath your company, it is clear. It's all about the ratings, it's all about the money, isn't it? There is no love in what you do--just cold, hard human avarice and nothing more.

If that is what is really within your hearts, then so be it. However, I will not stand silent and watch as media imbeciles like your company and others slander one of the most innocent and well-meaning human beings to have ever set foot on the stage of human affairs. This is simply too great a crime to ignore.

It shocks me to no end that you go so far as to say that, as a result of (according to your flimsy logic) "getting away" with molesting a child, Michael Jackson proceeded to build statues of himself all over the world in order to satisfy his mega ego. Firstly, if anyone mentioned in this documentary has a mega-ego, it would be all you media scumbags. Your hypocrisy knows no bounds--how dare you fabricate such ludicrous things about someone whom you don't even know, and could never hope to comprehend? More inflammatory still, how dare you say such things without a single fact to back up your opinions? How dare you present such ridiculous garbage as truth, as "what really happened"?

The media ego is so great that those involved in such a shameful industry have no qualms about shamelessly attacking and slandering fellow human beings for monetary gain, liberally twisting and in some cases (like this one!) even fabricating entire stories in an endless struggle for ratings and sensationalism. You go around scrutinizing every last detail of the lives of people you will never know, yet judge according to standards you would do well to apply to yourselves as well. Like Michael Jackson said, take a look at the man in the mirror. What do you see? Is it what the rest of the world sees?

You all may think that what you're doing is harmless reporting. It is inexplicable as to how a conclusion such as that could ever be reached, after all the damning evidence pointing at the opposite direction.

It is interesting to note whom you have decided to name as your support--Diane Dimond and Victor Gutierrez. Let us begin by examining the first.

Diane Dimond is the person whom you have chosen to cite as the one who "broke the first allegations of child abuse and pursued every lead for the next ten years." Judging by your description of her, one would be tempted to think that this woman is some sort of morally upright heroine who, for an entire decade, pursued every lead which pointed to child abuse on Michael Jackson's part.

I am afraid the truth of the matter is far less romantic than the portrait you paint. Diane Dimond is, in fact, a tabloid reporter (presently working for the tabloid show The Insider) who lacks a degree in journalism. This woman, therefore, is not even a legitimate journalist. In fact, her entire career consists on nothing but tabloid reporting (Hard Copy, Extra, and Entertainment Tonight, to name a few.) This isn't the most impressive of resumes.

Aside from lacking any proper journalistic training, Diane Dimond's reporting has been exposed as being lacking in journalistic integrity. Dimond is infamous for twisting stories to support opinions which only make sense in her sad, twisted mind. More scandalous yet, Dimond has fabricated entire stories as well. I cite the infamous "Canadian Boy" incident, in which Dimond, without thoroughly researching the facts, went to the media and reported a Canadian boy she found as being "yet another victim" of Michael Jackson's. I will refresh your memory by reminding you that, in the end, the entire story was proven to be false--the product of a Jackson-obsessed man's plot to "make him pay" for an imaginary wrong and Diane Dimond's lack of journalistic professionalism.

One would think people would thoroughly research cases before breaking allegations about someone doing a crime as heinous as child molestation. Apparently, such rules apply not to Diane Dimond.

Dimond's disgraces do not end there. It is well-known that Dimond has a habit of injecting her personal perceptions on the stories she happens to be covering, and this, of course, goes against the entire concept of balanced reporting and journalism as a whole. Why on Earth, then, would someone want to cite such a wretch as a source? I leave you to reflect on that. (This is the part where you all blush in embarrassment.)

Let us move on now to our second cited figure: Victor Gutierrez. Undoubtedly, you mean to provide this figure as a source due to his infamous product, "Michael Jackson Was My Lover." (No self-respecting person would dare call such a laughable rag a book.)

This lewd volume verges on the pornographic, relying heavily on disgusting descriptions and sensationalism, and completely forgetting to include facts, thus divorcing itself from the reality of the situation. This work reveals more about the author's depraved mind than it does about the supposed subject. It is unsurprising that it was banned in the United States on grounds of it being thoroughly despicable and unprintable. If the work had even one shred of respectable, noteworthy evidence, it would surely have met with a much different fate. However, this was clearly not the case.

Gutierrez did not stop there. He also went on the beforementioned tabloid show, "Hard Copy", and claimed to possess a videotape which showed Mr. Jackson molesting a young boy. Needless to say, no such tape ever existed. Mr. Jackson naturally proceeded to sue Gutierrez on grounds of slander with malicious intent to hurt his reputation. The only defence against a slander lawsuit, of course, is truth. Since Gutierrez failed to produce the tape or name a legitimate source, Jackson won the lawsuit, which caused Gutierrez to flee to Mexico.

Fleeing to another country to escape justice--does that sound like something respectable to do? Does the man you mention as a reliable source sound, well, reliable? I think not.

My point is, if the best support you can provide for your documentary is a freelance writer whose stories fail to stand and a pseudo-journalist tabloid hag, then perhaps you ought not to be making documentaries at all. Unless you can provide a fair, balanced documentary about your subject (in this case Michael Jackson), please abstain from wasting time and resources spawning yet another tabloid-influenced production lacking in legitimate information and possessing no redeeming qualities.

I would like to close this letter by stating what most have been too hesitant to say. It is thanks to people like you that Michael Jackson is dead. Your careers are parasitic in nature, and you are nothing but unscrupulous vultures. His blood will stain the media forever, for he was the sacrifice you chose to make in order to gain your ratings. Congratulations. You are thoroughly dehumanized. Slaves to your own avarice, governed by nothing but the lust for more and more money. I hope you are content.
