ABC Back Handed Tribute



As a Michael fan and follower I did not really appreciate the Tribute that ABC put together for Michael. I feel insulted and I felt as a viewer that ABC did not have the best interest of Michale's legacy at heart. My impression is that this tribute was an opportunity for media bullies to take a last jab at the Legend. I believe that it was a disgrace that Martin Bashir A.K.A the knave journalist that lived with Michael and tried desperately to twist everything Michael said into ridiculousness.

Clearly, Martin does not care for Michael or respect him as an artist or a person and from day one was out to cast Michael in a bad light. Why would ABC cast Martin to do the tribute if he never had anything positive to say about Michael? This tribute was tacky, backhanded and a disgrace. Michael Jackson accomplished so much throughout his career and all the tribute could focus on was his trials and accusations of lunacy, no mention of the Charities Michael began or lives he touched. the main focus of this tribute was the negative media attention Michael received.



Apparently with ABC the jokes never stop, have some respect and a drop of professionalism!

  1. yeaaa i agreee. barbara was like argueing with him about it. I dont care, thats not her job. Her job is to ask him questinos and to get the answers from him. Not argue with him about the answers and interogate him. This whole show had like one segment when they paid a tribute. The rest was negative stuff we didn't need to see the day he dies.

  2. To be fair, no matter how talented he was and how much impact his life had, certain things can't be dismissed. I like Boy George, but since I heard about him sexually assaulting a male escort, I can't buy another album. I have yet to see a Roman Polanski film because no matter how many oscar-winninng films he writes, he still raped a 13 year old girl and then fled the country. I only like the music he did before all of his weirdness. Ethically.
