A NEWLY
RELEASED POLICE REPORT FROM THE SANTA BARBARA SHERIFF'S
DEPARTMENT INDICATES THAT THERE WAS QUESTIONABLE THINGS FOUND IN
MICHAEL JACKSON'S HOME IN 2003.
THIS REPORT WAS LEAKED BY RADAR
ONLINE, WHICH IS A "NEW SOURCE" THAT I DO NOT TRUST.
SINCE THEY
HAVE PUT UP THESE DOCUMENTS ONLINE, I REALIZED [VIDEO
BUFFERING] THERE WAS DAMNING EVIDENCE IN THE POLICE REPORTS
[VIDEO BUFFERING] MICHAEL JACKSON'S ESTATE WAS SAYING THAT
THERE WAS NO PORNOGRAPHY FOUND IN THE HOME.
IN FACT HERE IS
WHAT VANITY FAIR REPORTED AS AN UPDATE TO THEIR STORY ABOUT
THIS.
SO, YOU LOOK THROUGH ALL OF THESE DOCUMENTS THAT RADAR
ONLINE POSTED AND IN BETWEEN YOU SEE DOCUMENTS THAT APPEAR TO BE
FROM THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE, BUT THEY ARE NOT.
IS ACTUALLY
INFORMATION THEY FOUND ONLINE.
SOME OF IT, NOT ALL OF IT.
I'M
GOING TO GET TO WHAT THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT WAS INCLUDED
IN THE POLICE REPORT.
>> LET ME WEIGH IN HERE, ESQ., VANITY FAIR, US, SO MANY MEDIA
ORGANIZATIONS REPORTED ON THIS.
I ACTUALLY HAVE NO OPINION ON
RADAR ONLINE.
I THINK THEY DID ONE THING CLEARLY WRONG HERE,
THEY SHOULD HAVE SEPARATED STUFF AND MADE IT CLEAR WHAT WAS WHAT.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THEY DIDN'T GET ANYTHING FROM THE SHERIFF'S
OFFICE, AND THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT STORY IS WRONG BUT IT DOES
REQUIRE FAR MORE NUANCE TO EXPLAIN IT.
THAT IS WHY WE ARE
ALL DOING AN UPDATE ON THIS.
>> WE REPORTED THAT THERE WERE IMAGES OF CHILDREN THAT WERE
NUDE OR SEMI NUDE.
THE THING WE DID WRONG, BECAUSE IT WAS
REPORTED BY EVERYONE ELSE, IS THAT IT WAS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
BUT IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY CLASSIFIED AS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY,
EVEN THOUGH THESE IMAGES WERE OF CHILDREN WHO ARE EITHER NUDE OR
SEMI NUDE.
JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE IMAGES OF NEW CHILDREN DOESN'T
MEAN IT CONSTITUTES AS CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
I FIND THAT
INTERESTING THOUGHT IT COULD BE CONSIDERED ART.
THE CHILDREN'S
PICTURES WERE INCLUDED IN SOME BOOKS.
LET ME GIVE YOU EXAMPLES.
IT JUST SHOWS IMAGES OF PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF TWO TO
ELDERLY PEOPLE.
YOU DO SEE NAKED BODIES OF CHILDREN, BUT IT
IS
NOT CHILD PORNOGRAPHY.
IT WAS BASICALLY SEXUALIZED IMAGES OF
CHILDREN SUPERIMPOSED ON ADULTS BODIES?
>> I READ IN THE STORY YESTERDAY THAT SOME OF THE BOOKS WERE FROM
THE 1800S.
THIS WAS A LITTLE YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY TOMATO.
IF YOU
FIND A BOOK THAT A NEW SCREEN PORNOGRAPHY, THIS IS AMONG MANY
BOOKS.
IF YOU GO TO A GUYS HOUSE YOU ARE INVESTIGATING FOR
PEDOPHILIA BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN DOZENS OF CHARGES, AND
THERE ARE CONVENIENTLY THINGS THAT ARE TECHNICALLY NOT
CLASSIFIED AS PORNOGRAPHY, BUT HAS YOUNG CHILDREN THAT ARE
NUDE, BUT THAT IS OKAY BECAUSE IT IS FROM THE 1800S, DOESN'T
MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST.
THERE STILL MIGHT BE A REASON HE HAD
IT.
LET'S KEEP IT REAL.
YOU HAVE TO REPORT THE THINGS THEY GOT
FROM ONLINE THAT ARE NOT ñ BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO KEEP IT REAL
ABOUT THE STUFF HE HAD IN THERE.
SOME PEOPLE ARE SO BLINDED BY
WHATEVER SIDE THEY ARE ON.
THE PRO-MICHAEL JACKSON PEOPLE ARE
SAYING IT IS ALL ART.
YEAH, YOU SAY TOMATO, I SAY TOMATO.
>> I JUST WANT YOU GUYS TO HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION THAT IS
ACCURATE AND POSSIBLE.
THERE WERE A FEW ERRORS, BUT THAT IS
BECAUSE THE INITIAL REPORT WAS PURPOSELY MADE CONFUSING TO OVER
SENSATIONALIZE THE STORY.
THE OTHER THING I WANTED TO ADD WAS
THAT THE PART WE REPORTED INDICATING THAT SOMEWHERE
ARGUING THAT THIS MATERIAL COULD BE USED TO GROOM CHILDREN WAS
NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS MADE UP.
THAT WAS ACTUALLY INCLUDED IN
THE POLICE DOCUMENTS.
WHEN THEY DID THE RAID, EVEN THOUGH IT
DIDN'T CONSTITUTE CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, THEY SAID THAT IT
COULD BE USED TO GROOM CHILDREN.
I HAVE NO INTEREST IN FINDING
HIM GUILTY [VIDEO BUFFERING] THAT IS WHY WE ARE DOING THIS
UPDATE.
YOU DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO WITH IT.
>> I WANT TO SAY TWO MORE THINGS ABOUT THIS.
NUMBER ONE, YOU GUYS
ALL WANT US TO HAVE AN INVESTIGATOR AT EVERY SCENE.
I
WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT.
TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN, IF WE HAD
MORE MEMBERS WE WOULD HAVE MORE INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS.
BUT IF
YOU THINK YOU BROKE A STORY BY REALIZING THAT WE COVER WHAT IS
IN THE NEWS, CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE RIGHT.
THAT IS WHAT WE DO.
WE DON'T HAVE AN INVESTIGATIVE REPORTER AT EVERY SCENE.
IF
EVERY OTHER PUBLICATION SAYS THAT WHAT RADAR ONLINE DATA IS
TRUE, WE RUN IT.
THEY HAVE A LOT MORE REPORTERS.
WE HAVE JORDAN
WHO IS OUR FIELD REPORTER ON POLITICS.
HE HAS BROKEN DOZENS
OF STORIES.
GIVE ME ANOTHER REPORTER.
GIVE ME TO AN
ENTERTAINMENT, SEVEN IN SPORTS, 12 AND POLITICS.
LET'S GO
INVESTIGATE THE HELL OUT OF STUFF.
WE LARGELY DO COMMENTARY
BASED ON REPORTS WE HAVE.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE A HORSE IN THIS RACE.
I LIKE MICHAEL JACKSON, AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BELIEVE THE STUFF
IS TRUE, AND THAT WAS THE ONLY ONE ñ [VIDEO BUFFERING] SO WHAT
THAT IT IS GAY ART.
WE TRY REALLY HARD TO PRESENT BOTH, AND
YES SOMETIMES WE REACH CONCLUSIONS BASED ON EVIDENCE WE
HAVE.
YES, WE KEEP AN OPEN MIND SO THAT IF NEW EVIDENCE COMES
IN, WE ALSO TAKE THAT INTO ACCOUNT.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE US TO
HAVE MORE REPORTERS ON THE FIELD, I CAN'T WAIT TO DO IT.
TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN BECAUSE WE ARE POWERED BY YOU GUYS.
LET'S
ALL DO IT TOGETHER, THAT IS INDEPENDENT MEDIA.
