Amongst the publications that rehashed this age old nonsense was The Sun, to which I often contribute as a Michael Jackson expert.

was a breach of the settlement's confidentiality clause. In addition to trying

Yes, really.
So the man who The Mirror claims only 'wanted justice' thought that the best course of action after the initial media storm died down would be to release an album of music about the supposed abuse of his pre-pubescent son.

As for the media, this latest incident cements once more the industry's almost total unwillingness to report fairly or accurately on Michael Jackson, particularly on the bogus allegations of sexual abuse that were levelled against him.

Chandler的自殺彰顯了媒體對Jackson的偏見
當Jordan Chandler的父親Evan Chandler在兩周前飲彈自殺的消息浮現時，儘管媒體盡力企圖美化他，沒有人為他掉淚。
大多數媒體將Chandler吹捧為“指控Jackson對其有猥褻行為的男孩的父親”。錯。 Chandler是指控Jackosn猥褻他兒子的那個父親。
對Jackson最初的指控不是由Jordy Chandler而是由他的父親Evan提出的，儘管開始的好幾個月Jordy一直堅稱Jackson從未對他有不適當的行為。
男孩父親和Jackson關係惡化始於1993年早期，Evan要求這位流行明星為他建一幢房子，Jackson有禮貌地拒絕了。作為一個失敗的劇作家，Chandler稍後聯繫Jackson要求他代為協商三部劇本的交易。他說，如果Jackson不照辦，他會指控Jackson猥褻他的兒子。Jackson沒有聽從其言――剩下的就都是歷史了。
正如Mary Fisher 1994年文章“Michael Jackson是被陷害的嗎”指出－Jordan僅在被Evan－一位牙醫－給他使用改變思維的藥物戊巴比妥鈉後才宣稱Jackson猥褻了他，而眾所周知戊巴比妥鈉可以誘導不真實的記憶。
即使當Jordan Chandler 開始和他父親同一戰線後，因為他的證詞是如此沒有說服力，檢察官Tom Sneddon 將他的案子呈遞給三個不同的大陪審團，沒有一個同意他對Michael Jackson的指控。與廣泛傳播的傳言不同， Jordan Chandler沒有正確描述Jackson的生殖器。其他的不實之處是他宣稱Jackson 割過包皮，而員警的照片證明事實相反。
毫不驚訝的是，這些資訊沒有在主流媒體對Evan Chandler死亡的報導中出現。相反的，Chandler's的自殺被看作抹黑Michael Jackson的一個機會，繼續強化93年指控的那些老掉牙的荒誕說法－特別是對於當時協議的說法。
全世界的新聞媒體再一次報導1994年Jackson付錢給Chandler以獲得和解。這完全是虛構。
2005年解密的法庭檔清楚的說明Jackson的保險公司“在Jackson及他的法律代表的反對下，協商並支付了和解金。”
Jackson並沒有同意這個協議，更不要說付錢了。
在這些出版物中一再重複這個狗屁論調的一個是太陽報，作為Michael Jackson的專家，我經常為他們提供幫助。他們昨天聯繫我要求給他們提供一些93年指控和Evan Chandler的資訊，我依照要求作了。可以，他們沒有使用我提供的任何資訊，可能是這些資訊顯示了一個太好的Jackson。影射Jackson有罪的那些說法顯然比能證明他無罪的事實更重要。
注意到太陽報關於 Chandler自殺報導文章的幾個不實之處（最明顯的如是Jrody提出的指控，而Jackson支付了和解金）。我聯繫了該報紙的兩位工作人員－我日常的聯繫人和寫這篇文章的記者。沒有一個給我回email，該文章也沒有更正。
其他報紙，如鏡報報導的荒誕性更勝一籌，企圖將Chandler描畫成某種殉道者，他們的頭條寫著“Michael Jackson性醜聞案件的父親Evan chandler尋求正義卻最終被毀滅。
正義？
如果 Evan Chandler想尋求正義，問什麼他向員警報案前先聯繫Jackson要求三部劇本的交易？如果他尋求正義，問什麼他接受Jackson保險公司的和解金？
實際上，這個和解包括一個條款說明接受和解金以代替民事訴訟並不影響Chandler家在刑事案件上作證的能力。所以如果Evan chandler想要正義，他為什麼不同意警方繼續調查？
這個頭條，以及其他很多文章，純粹無稽之談。
在領取了Jackson保險公司付的一千五百萬美元（不是媒體說的二千萬）後，1996 , Evan Chandler再次起訴 Jackson要求另外六千萬美元，宣稱該明星的HIStory專輯破壞了和解協議中的保密條款。除了企圖起訴Jackson外, Chandler還要求法庭同意他製作反駁專輯稱EVANstory.
是啊，真的。
所以這個鏡報宣稱的只“想要正義”人，在最初的媒體風暴停歇後，認為最好的行動是發行所謂的關於他未到青春期的兒子性虐待的專輯。
鏡報暗示到Jordan和他父母間的關係在1993年後變得緊張起來，卻將這歸罪於Jackson，聲稱是這件案子的傷害使他們四向分離。
實際上， Jordan Chandler在他16歲時經法庭 合法脫離與他父母的關係。當2005年Jackson的案子宣他作證時，他拒絕出庭。如果他真的出庭了，Jackson的法律團隊已有一隊證人準備證實Jordan –現匿名居住與長島－最近這些年告訴他們他恨他的父母讓他在1993年說那些話，而Michael Jackson從未碰過他。
這些有關1993年指控的證據壓倒性地支持Michael Jackson的無辜。這是為什麼在漫長的調查期間，以及後來的Jackson的保險公司協商和解的幾個月間， Michael Jackson從未被捕，也無任何刑事犯罪指控。
這些證據壓倒性的表明 Evan Chandler 像猴子玩戲法樣策劃了這一指控，相信這會實現他在好萊塢工作的夢想。電話交談的錄音帶揭示他說男孩的幸福是無關緊要的，而他要奪取Jackson擁有的一切。
Mary Fischer 的證據顯示這一切以及虛構他兒子的性虐待都是精心設計的勒索計畫，當Jordan拒絕合作， Evan給他用改變思維的藥物以使他相信自己被猥褻了。
但即使用藥迷倒一個孩子作為勒索計畫的一部分還不是 Evan Chandler最卑劣的作為。他的人格在他向法庭請求容許出版有關他兒子所謂的性虐待的專輯時達到了最低點。
如果 Evan Chandler想尋求正義，他在兩星期前得到了。
至於媒體，最近的事件再一次證實了該產業完全不情願公正真實地報導Michael Jackson, 特別是那些企圖毀滅他的那些虛假的性虐待指控。迄今我還沒有在我讀到的關於Chandler自殺的任何報導中看到以上的事實和證據，儘管我曾經親自向至少一家報紙提供過這些消息。
至於 Jordy Chandler,也許他父親的死會使他找到足夠的勇氣來做這件誠實的事。也許他會在某處出來告訴世界他曾經在十年前告訴他朋友的話――那就是Michael Jackson從未碰過他一個指頭。直到那時，我懷疑他會生活在同樣的折磨之中，這種折磨在他們最大的犧牲者Michael Jackson去世後不久可能導致了他父親的死亡。
當Jordan Chandler的父親Evan Chandler在兩周前飲彈自殺的消息浮現時，儘管媒體盡力企圖美化他，沒有人為他掉淚。
大多數媒體將Chandler吹捧為“指控Jackson對其有猥褻行為的男孩的父親”。錯。 Chandler是指控Jackosn猥褻他兒子的那個父親。
