Michael Jackson - what an extraordinary show. But the truly disturbing part of it wasn't Michael at all. Clearly a very sad man, at best failing to cope with a ruined childhood and the negative aspects of fame, but a TV show is never going to reveal the true man - a huge talent and a musical giant, whatever else. No - the frightening thing for me was the predatory desire of Martin Bashir - on behalf of the media and, of course, us - to reveal the worst. We WANTED Jackson to be discovered as a freak and a pervert. We HATED the possibility that he might be an innocent. That was the most upsetting aspect. This century has witnessed the turning against innocence by civilization. Although Michael is not the best champion for the philosophy of true love and affection, and clearly has never managed to experience it himself, his ideal world, of adults actually caring for children, has been destroyed. As Bashir kept nagging away - it's not NORMAL for a 44 year old man to indulge in friendship with children. He pushed his suspicions into the face of Jackson's 12 year old friend. Two clear messages. We now see sexuality in everything - and are disappointed if it's not exposed. And, as society, we now regard sexuality as wrong and evil, no matter what we may pretend. The total destruction of innocence. That was the most frightening revelation of all. King (FF 8782) HMP ELMLEY, SHEERNESS, KENT, ME12 4AY 4/2/03

I didn't see the Jackson interview in it's entirety, I'm just not that interested in him. I have seen parts of it here and there. In what I have seen, I felt a great pang of sympathy for him.
This man should not be around children, let alone rasing them. For his own good. But, sadly I don't think that there is going to be anyone willing to tell or make him change his ways.
I think it's clear that he has very poor judgement in regards to children, but I'm not going to speculate about his reasons for sleeping with other peoples kids. What ever his reasons it shows a real lack of forethought, why open your self up like that. I don't know if his kids are in danger of long term harm or not, but I think he is.
Society's first concern must be the health and welfare of his or any children. But I for one think we need to show a little compassion for this man, unless there is clear evidence showing him to be a perp.
