Times Of India — irresponsible and biased articles, defaming the dead

This complaint is in reference to the article published in the times of india, dated 24th march, 2019. What disappointed me the most about the article is the misleading headline, directly aimed at an individual who can no more defend himself against the slanderous articles and biased reports about him. The article i'm talking about is about michael jackson who's being mercilessly slandered by the mainstream media without even presenting the other side of the story or use the word 'alleged'. This is not fair journalism, this is propaganda which promotes defamation of a deceased individual. When are we going to read the other side of the story?
Michael jackson was vindicated and exonerated by a court of law, was investigated by the fbi for years and they found absolutely nothing against this man that he ever harmed anyone, let alone children.
These two men, wade robson and jimmy safechuck had previously defended michael jackson under oath only to make a 180 degree turn around to sue the estate of mj for millions of dollars. They've been caught lying several times, changing their versions and making up false molestation stories that have been proven to be false with impossible timelines.
The documentary now features these two proven perjurers who are on their umpteenth version of their story of alleged abuse after their lawsuits were thrown out of court for obvious lies. The times of india article has failed to mention the significant facts about the background and motives of the two accusers, which is not only misleading for the readers but outright defamation of the dead.in a free society where presumption of innocence is a basic human right, this is not tolerable. We're in the metoo era where accusations of sexual abuse are taken at face value, which is not only wrong but dangerous. False accusations and false accusers do exist and we've to acknowledge this serious issue at this crucial period of time. But, times of india promoting such biased articles presenting just one side of the story without even mentioning the basic facts doesn't promote this idea at all but only to encourage its readers to join the bandwagon of lynch mob against michael jackson. This is not acceptable and i strongly condemn it. I support survivors but i also believe in due process. The lynch mob mentality is what inspires false accusers and innocent lives are destroyed by false accusations. Michael jackson was proven innocent during his lifetime and was maliciously prosecuted after being accused falsely of abuse. So, rather than joining the lynchmob i would like to request the times of india to be fair while covering details regarding sensitive issues like these and provides its readers with facts and proven details, not biased propaganda pieces or proven false allegations as facts.
