Martin Bashir (born January 19, 1963, in London) is an British journalist of Pakistani origin.
Bashir came to wide prominence in 1995 when he interviewed (for the BBC's Panorama programme) Diana, Princess of Wales about her failed marriage to the Prince of Wales. Since then he has conducted interviews with, amongst others, Louise Woodward, the five suspects in the Stephen Lawrence case, Michael Barrymore, Jeffrey Archer, and most recently Michael Jackson and Major Charles Ingram and Joanne Lees.
Perhaps his most infamous interview was his 2003 dialogue with Michael Jackson, titled Living with Michael Jackson. Some people contend that Bashir edited the tapes of the Jackson interviews in a manner that presented Jackson in an unflattering light. After seeing the edited version of the interview, Jackson released a rebuttal interview, filmed by his personal cameraman.
Journalist Roger Friedman, who covered the Jackson pedophelia trial noted, "Jackson's attorney Thomas Mesereau played the outtakes video for the jury in full. [1]
