Public trials in America are not a constitutional whim. The are essential to the republican principles of government transparency and democratic civic responsibility. FreePress

Don’t you even AD REVENUE bro?

LeavingNeverland was such a treat for u all sell out jounalist.shame. Leave an innocent man alone who is not here to defend himself and try to do some real ethical job and focus on this rapist,bff of Oprah.preplanned agenda of her to distract everyone's attention from his bff

Give this bastard rapist some attention you dead media.all are busy to prove an innocent man guiltywho is not alive to defend himself. preplanned agenda.lets make a fiction crap of greedyliar and save this culprit. Untouchable is hardly seen by anyone.

Where is fraud coreup MeToo huge supporter of two liars of LeavingNeverland le..

Oprah when will you do next sailboat with Geffen? Will you talk about this too, to make special?

I don't think anyone's trial should be public! WTF do we need to see it for? The judge & jury may cave under public pressure w/ their every move being watched & result in an unfair verdict to please a certain group. Judge presiding over HW has more sense than RKs I guess.🤷🏾‍♀️

Well..With Michael Jackson media were less polite. I would watch with a big pleasure Leaving Havey someday(hint✌)

Mind you, this is Oprah close friend, they're very tight. Expose them, expose them all 🐍🐍🐍👏🏾👏🏾

White privilege at it's finest. Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby and R. Kelly's trials all public but Hollywood's golden boy rapist Weinsten gets protected. Shameful!!

Doesn’t matter public or not-reporting will not be the truth & the public will never know the true goings on.

The media coverage about that Leaving Neverland/Michael Jackson movie had been successful in diverting attention from Weinstein. Just saying.

Of course!! The same way BillCosby was and the same way Rkelly will be!! Wonder what the difference is?!?!😏🤔

Of course it should be

Hell yeah his trial should be public and on the news, you don't think twice when printing all the shit out about Mj

So the white sexual predator with almost 100 victims gets protected again.

Not going to happen. He's a person of interest

YES it SHOULD. He must be made an example for all the predators still lurking.

Where's Oprah's special with the victims? Still waiting. Have been waiting a long time. And hang on I just saw a Weinstein film on TV. So you're not going to cancel the white guy? HollywoodHypocrites

RodriguezNalena Why not, we've always loved court room spectacles,making a joke of serious matters, standing in awe of the guilty not guilty verdict.Usually hoping for the guilty. Don't grow a conscious now..Because he should not be treated any differently. He can't hide this time 💯 MJInnocent

el juicio tiene qué ser público, basta de proteger a los depredadores séxuales

I don’t see why he should get special treatment, no one else gets a reporting embargo. Plenty of cases going on that haven’t been hidden, with big names and careers at stake. What’s special about this one?(as if we didn’t know)

Translation: too many high profile individuals and organizations will look bad

We all know you want (need) it public so you can keep your dying medium afloat using all those salacious details you're expecting to be uncovered. So transparent. Journalism is dead and you guys killed your own profession. fakenews

The BS media is too protective of Harvey Weinstein, Make it fair and public!

Jenna02319455 And we are still waiting for 'Harvey Weinstein special ' by Oprah 🐍🐍🐍🐍

They’re not laughing now! No need to make an even bigger circus of it IMHO.

I think the principle of a fair trial, that is for anyone, should be afforded a media blackout on its reporting until the trial is concluded. America takes it too far with the media frenzy making it a reality show entertainment for the average potato viewer.

Buenos dias
