Michael Jackson: The Truth


This video, presented by Candace Owens, challenges the mainstream media's narrative regarding Michael Jackson throughout his career. Owens argues that Jackson was the target of a smear campaign by powerful industry figures after he began speaking out against unfair practices in the music industry.

Key Highlights:

  • Musical Legacy: The video opens by celebrating Michael Jackson's immense talent, his early success with the Jackson 5 (1:41), and his record-breaking solo career with albums like Off the Wall (3:26) and the world-renowned Thriller (3:45).
  • The 1993 Allegations: Owens examines the first major child abuse allegations made by Dr. Evan Chandler. She highlights evidence suggesting that the accusation was coerced, involving the use of sedative drugs on his son, Jordan Chandler, and claims of a extortion attempt for $20 million (12:00-13:29).
  • Media Narrative & 'Wacko Jacko': The video discusses how the media created the negative moniker "Wacko Jacko" to discredit Jackson (17:00-17:15). Owens asserts that this was part of a broader strategy to isolate him after he became vocal about the mistreatment of artists by record labels and executives like Tommy Mottola (20:30-21:30).
  • The 2003 Trials and Acquittal: Despite the intensive media scrutiny and legal battles, Owens points out that Jackson was acquitted of all charges in 2005 (19:40-19:50).
  • Later Years and Passing: The video reflects on Jackson's final years, his financial difficulties, and his tragic death in 2009, which was ruled a homicide, while criticizing the legal consequences faced by Dr. Conrad Murray (23:30-24:30).

Owens concludes by suggesting that the treatment of Michael Jackson serves as a cautionary tale about the power of the media to dismantle reputations, and she expresses support for preserving his legacy against what she describes as a dishonest narrative.
