Ed Bradley let him off the hook..........a terrible Larry King like approach, lobbing those soft-balls at him for questions just because he's Michael Jackson.......
MJ claims injury from the police, even though we all saw film of him coming out of the police station waving his arms over his heads at his fans.........the arms he now claims he cannot wave due to police brutality.......
Ed Bradley undoubtedly saw this film but chose not to corner Jackson on his embellishments and lies.
Shoddy, weak, and purposely so.........did he expect a follow up interview if he went softball on MJ?
Jackson should have been cornered on all his obvious embellishments......the police "dislocating" his shoulders, yet he waved to his fans happily as he left the station, the handcuffs he said damaged his right arm yet when we see him handcuffed they are clearly on his wrists, not up on his arm several inches higher, etc etc etc
If it was say, a meat packing plant supervisor who wasn't inspecting meat properly and they had footage on it, Bradley would have crushed him.
But because it was Jackson, he got a free pass.
Bradley's reputation as a so-called tough non-compromising journalist has been damaged severely.
He traded off the ratings for one show for some personal damage. what a big wimp!
