"Guilters" in the minority: A Reminder
Question: As far as you know, are any sexual assault allegations against Michael Jackson true?
NO: 24%
NOT SURE: 56%
YES: 19%
And then I found another set of polls revealing that the impact of Leaving Neverland was pretty paltry, too.
Before seeing Leaving Neverland, 48% said that Robson and Safechuck's cases should NOT be reopened on appeal.
And what was that number AFTER seeing LN?
49%.
So the number of people saying NO to their allegations being reconsidered actually went up by 1%.
These are even more interesting if you look at the age brackets.
In 2019, Millennials were the agegroup most sympathetic to Robson & Co (according to these numbers).
But even so, after LN went to air, 41% of them said NO to Robson & Co getting their appeal.
Generation X? Before the release of LN, 53% said NO.
After LN, that was still 46%.
And the Boomers (who let's face it, have been through a few more rodeos than the rest of us)?
Before LN, 54% of them said NO thank you to another round of dragging Michael through the courts.
Funnily enough, LN didn't help the motley crew of Dan Greed with the grandpa's and grandma's of America.
After it aired, their NO THANK YOU SIRS went up to 57%.
Have a look at the chart in the link - there's more good news still in it.
And as usual, ignore the headline - completely.
