	Bashir To Be Government Witness In Jacko Trial - January 11, 2005
		The government's bid to get Martin Bashir on the stand was disclosed this afternoon in court filings unsealed by Superior Court Judge Rodney Melville.
		In one of those documents, Melville termed Bashir a "necessary material witness" with regard to the production, editing, and broadcast of his devastating documentary "Living with Michael Jackson." During that program, Jackson spoke about sharing his Neverland Ranch bedroom with various boys and was filmed cuddling with the teenager who has accused him of molestation.
		According to the unsealed material, Bashir was served with a subpoena January 4 in New York, where he now works as a correspondent for the ABC newsmagazine "20/20." One unsealed document, a copy of which you'll find below, describes the Santa Barbara District Attorney's anticipated travel arrangements for Bashir.

		Bashir later interviewed former child actor Corey Feldman, who spent perhaps too much time with the pop star as a youth.
		Bashir's investigative style can best be described as ethically troublesome, but quite entertaining.
		The present prosecution of Michael Jackson is for events that purportedly transpired after the airing of the controversial 2003 special, which rather successfully made Jackson seem to be a child molestor.

		Bashir even refused to say how many hours of videotape were recorded during the making of the programme.
		As Bashir was being bombarded with questions by Mr Mesereau, his attorney repeatedly invoked California’s "shield law" for reporters, and the First Amendment which guarantees freedom of the press and protection of sources.

		Bashir is a secret squirrel, discussing his work with no one apart from his immediate bosses: even when news of his interview with Michael Barrymore had been splashed across the tabloids, it was being denied internally.
		He is not a social animal, although he continues to play rugby at veterans level and often talks in rugby metaphors, to the confusion of those not versed in the intricacies of scrums and line-outs.
		Contrary to some reports yesterday, Bashir was not with Jackson in the Berlin hotel room at the moment when the singer appeared to put his son in mortal danger - but they were allowed in 40 minutes later.

	Infocus - Tabloid TV
		As for the interviewer Martin Bashir, he has seen his reputation as one of the most respected journalists/broadcaster temporarily ripped to shreds.
		However, Martin Bashir was successful where others weren’t by lacing his interview with the element of cunning and devious behaviour, which was definitely not part of his journalism curriculum at University.
		Granada and Martin Bashir will eventually get over it too but the real losers in all this are the TV viewers who have been subjected to useless and mind altering TV that we would only expect from the tabloid press.

		Bashir was the trial's first witness, having been called by the prosecution for the express purpose of showing the jury his documentary "Living With Michael Jackson," which ultimately led to the charges Jackson now faces of molesting a 13-year-old cancer victim.
		Having asked Bashir some routine questions on his career background, the prosecution aired the 105-minute documentary in which Jackson is seen holding hands with his future accuser and admits sharing his bed with children.
		Bashir conceded that regulators had upheld a charge that he partly misrepresented his intentions to one participant in a documentary he made about a child math’s prodigy.

	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 believes that what was eventually broadcast was a salacious ratings chaser, designed to celebrate Martin Bashir, and which was indifferent to the effect on Michael personally, his family and his close friends.

		While the prosecution alleges that the family was coerced into participating in a video rebuttal to the Bashir documentary, the defence argued that the family was excited at the prospect, seeing it as a way of making money.

		Posted Jan. 19, 2005 â“ TV journalist Martin Bashir, whose 2003 documentary featuring Michael Jackson raised further questions about the starâs relationship with children, is fighting a subpoena ordering him to testify in Jacksonâs molestation trial, scheduled to begin Jan. 31.
		On Tuesday, Bashir asked a judge to reject the request, citing that, under Californiaâs shield laws, journalists cannot be forced to testify.
		Prosecutors called Bashir, who said the film âspeaks for itself,â to testify about things he saw during the taping that were not recorded or were edited out of the final product.

		I had stated in an earlier article, written after viewing the Bashir broadcast, that if you were to follow anyone around for eight months with a camera, you could then edit them to look either saint or sinner.
		The "Footage That You Were Never Meant To See" special on FOX shined a much different light on Michael Jackson and exposed Martin Bashir for what he is: a social climbing, twofaced, publicity seeking interviewer whose main skill is ingratiating himself to his victim and talking out of both sides of his mouth.
		Bashir, it doesn't sound as titillating as "perverted, child molesting, danger-to-himself-and-others, neglectful, paranoid, psychotic megalomaniac".
