I don't know anything about that but their OJ series is on YouTube and let's just say
it's horrible! It's overdramatic, the so called investigators act like bad actors, it's boring
and just something you can't take seriously.
I very much hope the MJ series won't be like this.

 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ There is ONE important key difference between OJ documentaries vs. Michael documentaries..

Pretty much everything has publically been said about the OJ case!!! Now in 2017 after the trial was on TV, many documentaries, & even mini series - they are getting desperate for content.. To the general public most of the MJ case has not been discussed in detail.. Only negative highlights

I agree KOPV but the trouble is that the media only present the sensationalist information to the public. They're fixated on making MJ the criminal. What they don't realise is that the media's treatment of MJ is the real sensation here. The public have heard and read a million bad things about MJ in the last 2 or 3 decades before he died and they still came out in force when died. Lies have continued since 2009 and MJ still performs well on catalog charts around the world.

If the media want to create a real sensation, if they want to amaze their viewers and get people talking then the only thing they can do is expose the lies of the past. They need to switch it around and they need to expose the tabloid media for what it is (was) - corrupt. The press even FABRICATED evidence against Jackson just to increase their readership. so many people believe Jackson owned illegal material, or that convincing DNA evidence was found, or that there are dozens of families who were paid off, or the '93 settlement bought him freedom. It's ridiculous.

The trouble is many of the people working in the press now grew up reading stories about Jackson. Many of them BELIEVE the biased stories and lies of the past, so they don't feel any particular urge to defend a man they consider to be a criminal. I have had dealings with members of the press who don't believe they are misreporting information when they borrow 'facts' from old reports. As long as they can point to an old article as the source of their information they seem content that their report is therefore 100% legit. If lies are told long enough then people begin to believe them, especially in the internet age - lies are repeated again and again.

It's perfectly possible that this show will highlight what REALLY happened and present BOTH sides of the cases but I doubt it. Even if they do I would expect the tabloids to report the anti-MJ content, just as they did during the '93 and '03 allegations (and trial).

Even if this show is fair to MJ then the benefit it will have to MJ will be limited if it isn't broadcast on a mainstream, reputable network. If A&R is an obscure network with limited viewers then only the MJ fam will watch the show and we already know the true story. Net benefit will = zero in that case.

Yes I just wish the MJ series won't be done using these cheap tricks like slow motion
walking toward the camera.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ Everything you said is exactly why a documentary like that is coming (at least from the info we have so far) will be something great to have.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

If the media ever reports the allegations fairly and objectively I'll faint from shock. I doubt that will happen as to do that will point to their role in it, which they still do today. With all their talk recently about unfair attacks on them and how we need a fair press, I find it all goes out the window with MJ. And it wasn't just the tabloids, it was the mainstream press as well. They all relished in it, especially during the trial.

Maybe I've just become to cynical and one day it will happen. But I doubt that will happen any time soon.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

So very true. I read an article recently, can't remember which site, but the reporter was saying they had to step up their game, vet their stories, get second quotes to verify information etc..Of course they should have been doing that all along, but they talk about it now like its a new thing.

They say to how important it is to have a free press. They haven't been free for a long time. Bought up by corporations and turned into a for profit enterprise churning out whatever they thought would get them the most revenue. And so many publications are co-owned by the same corporation that they just re-print the same thing, almost word for word, that the main publication prints without even a thought.

Fact checking and truth in reporting seem to matter depending on who the subject matter is.

I was talked to a gentleman on the phone had a problem with my tablet but he said that there was going to be a movie that was going to airs on May 29th 2017. It about Nerverland. Has anybody heard about this?
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ They are talking about the lifetime movie I'm pretty sure... It's not about Neverland but it's called 'Searching For Neverland'..

I find it especially ironic from an MJ fan point of POV that "fake news" all of a sudden is considered such a problem by the mainstream media and they point their fingers at social media and so called "alternative news sites". While I agree that is a real problem and I do not condone any kind of lying and twisting of facts by anyone about anything, but I find it hypocritical that the media is now whining about this while they themselves have been the generators of so much fake news when it came to MJ and no one batted an eyelid. Of course, it affects less people when the target of fake news is just one pretty vulnerable person (or just a few, select people - eg. tabloid lies about celebrities in general) than if it is about larger social groups and in political matters, still fake news are fake news no matter what or who they are about and how many people they affect.

As you said it wasn't even just tabloid media, but so called "respectable" media happily joined in the spreading of fake news as well. They were less the creators of them - unlike tabloids - but when it came to MJ and bashing him they happily used those tabloid sources referencing them as legit, trustable sources. I have often seen papers like the Gurdian, the Independent and other so called "serious publications" use The Sun or the Daily Mail as a source when it came to MJ. Or Radar Online for that matter - see when last year that whole fake news of child porn being found at MJ's premises spread through the media like wildfire and no one bothered to vet the information before publishing it. Well, no one but People magazine. They were the only ones who reached out to Santa Barbara police and Zonen and asked them and then published their answers. No one else did.

And now the same media is whining about fake news and unfair attacks on them. Ironic.

I know this is bigger than MJ and I know it is usually different people who write the political or economical columns than the entertainment colums and yes, I agree it is very dangerous and wrong when the government attacks the media based on simply that they do not like what they write about them. However, if you are going to be outraged about unfair treatment, you should at least treat others fairly. It's not a one-way street and the media have done their share for people not trusting them and turning to "alternative news".

I agree 100%, I've been talking about 'fake news' for many years thanks to the absurd reporting of MJ events I have witnessed in the last 20 years. I was forced into this position by an unrelenting media and a bunch of friends and acquaitances who knew my MJ fandom and would frequently enjoy raising the latest scandal with me. This peaked in during the 90s and early 00s.

Unfortunately knowing the facts and often contradicting the 'news' made me look like a blinded fanatic who would do anything to avoid 'the truth'. It damaged my credibility but I continued to defend MJ's corner. It was a losing battle. Anyway, as MJ fans we know all about fake news, and I was initally delighted when Trump highlighted the issue very publically, even going so far as to completely veto quesions from particular news agencies. I thought he might make some changes to better regulate the press while still allowing them the freedom they desperatley need to be able to report the news truthfully, but sadly Trump then completely undermined his own argument by having his press office issue some ridiculous statements. He shot himself in the foot big time! Who knew the USA could a vote a bigger baffoon than Bush Jr into the oval office?!?

Anyway, agree the problem isn't limited to just the internet gossip sites or gutter level tabloids. More serious publications will often jump on the bandwagon by repeating the 'news' that they themselves have only read about on a competitors site without conducting any due dilligence. In fact that's ideal for them as they then can absolve themselve of any blame! Your radar online example is a good one. If a serious news organisation spent a small amount of time researching the Radar Online claims from last year they would have found that it was utter nonsense, but did any of them do it? NO. The TRUE information was already in the public domain and had been since at least 2004 (when Mez was allowed by the judge to release a public statement to counter the FALSE reports that arose at that time). Even worse, when people commented on their reports or contacted editors to provide counter evidence, demonstrating that there reports were false they ignored them. Not only that, but in the UK the regulator ruled that there had been no breach of their rules. Ridiculous. I have encountered them many times over the years and each time the news media have sufficiently covered themselves so that they cannot be punished for what they have written. They know how to play the system and win.

It's strange though. Almost everybody you meet will say they don't believe everything they read in the media, BUT those very same people will repeat stories, usually when they have no direct knowledge of the subject themselves, as if the media is gospel, and they use that information to form very solid opinions. I try not to, but even I fall into that trap sometimes.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ I'm with you for the most part but Trump mentioning of 'fake news' only makes a mockery of the issue of bad media.. When someone calls anything that doesn't put him on a pedestal - fake.. It ruins the credibility of the issue. The first time he mentioned it, it was pleasing but he is desensitizing people to the fact it is an issue.. He makes a joke out of serious issues.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

Yeah hes the king of fake news and its basically been turned on its head as hes a pusher of it with such blatent lies such as the amount who attended the aurg..

Re fake news as a whole it does make me smirk interms of the media acting like this is something new.its excisted since the media began.

I agree KOPV, sadly Trump has highlighted an important issue but then immediately revealed himself to be a hypocrite. It's clear that Trump wants to dictate what news is 'real' and what is 'fake' depending on his own agenda. If the truth is inconvenient he will declare it as fake. If falsehoods will further his agenda then he will declare them as truth. Politicians can rarely be trusted but few are so overtly manipulative as Trump.

To tell the truth I would prefer if they didn't make this before the Safechuck and Robson
cases are dismissed and they would cover those cases from start to finish, I wish that was
the reason for the delay but it's just wishful thinking.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ well maybe that's exactly why we haven't heard an update.. maybe they are waiting to see how they want the series to conclude.. just a thought!
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

Wade summary judgement hearing is not until Sept 14 and then after that the wait is 6 weeks that how long Judge B will take to make a ruling if this case go to trial.

I hoping James case will get dismiss and not go to summary judgement. I still can't believe these cases have gotting this far and these cases are all build on lies no truth at all i just do not get it.

Now that James case is dismiss and it look like maybe Wade will too both cases are the same (issues control) Wade and his lawyers still can't proof that the companies had control over Michael. This would be a good ending to the series and the truth can finally be told.
 
Re: A & E are working on a documentary series about MJ's trials

^ different judge though right? we will see.. I would put my bets on the same line though! I agree

I could be wrong, but I believe Beckloff kept all these cases.
