  CNN.com - Michael Jackson's statement - Feb. 6, 2003
Michael is devastated and feels utterly betrayed by the British television programme, Living With Michael Jackson, presented by Martin Bashir and broadcast in the UK on Monday, February 3, 2003, which he regards as a gross distortion of the truth and a tawdry attempt to misrepresent his life and his abilities as a father.
Michael repeatedly asked Bashir to stop filming his children, and was promised by him that the footage of his children would be taken out in the final edit but, Bashir said, shooting should not be stopped because "it would break the continuity of filming".
Michael is deeply upset that the programme sensationally sets out to use two or three pieces of footage giving a wholly distorted picture of his behaviour and conduct as a father.

  Living with Michael Jackson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Living with Michael Jackson is a notorious Granada Television documentary, in which British journalist Martin Bashir interviewed Michael Jackson over a period of 8 months, from the middle of 2002 to January 2003.
Jackson admitted that "many children", especially pre-adolescent boys (including Macaulay Culkin when he was younger, his younger brother Kieran and sisters [1]) have slept in the same bed as him, but he denies having had sexual contact with any of them.
Jackson's lawyers claimed in a British High Court case against Martin Bashir and Granada TV that the documentary was a breach of contract and breach of confidence.

 Michael Jackson
Michael Jackson has always been a target of crackpots who love to impose their values, and some people are even willing to promote serious, criminal, sexual abuse allegations, even though there is no credible evidence to suggest that Michael Jackson has ever harmed any child.
Jackson's troubles began when his van broke down on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles in May 1992, and David Schwartz, the owner of the car-rental company, called his wife, June, and told her to bring their 6-year-old daughter and her son from her previous marriage, to meet Michael Jackson.
Michael Jackson is an easy target because he is necessarily "different" by virtue of the fact that he has has never lead a normal life.

 CTheory.net
Jackson was, in their allotted stance of the most honorable proclamation, a dangerous endorsement that certainly merited condemnation from the highest body of public policy.
Citing and in the same instance offending conservative religious and psychoanalytical views that the body be left alone and the spirit elevated, she does a fine cut and paste job that fuses ideals with technology and embarks on a journey that she herself intends to be nothing but shocking, the goal ultimately unattainable.
Our horror over Jackson stems, and let this be his premature epitaph to keep with the theme of staying ahead of time, from the impractical recognition that he may be the ultimate conformist to our way of life and the foremost balancing act of the heavens today.
