    I think you are just going along with whatever the media slant is, which is
    generally very conservative, and even stodgy. People are more liberal than
    that.

    Here is a quote from a google news article:

    "But the documentary seemed to win him fans.

    A phone poll of 17,000 viewers of ITV1's This Morning programme found the
    majority thought the documentary gave a positive portrayal of Jackson. A
    total of 62 per cent said they felt it changed their opinion of him for the
    better, while 38 per cent said it had made them think worse of him."
