If everyone were to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge, Barbara Walters would too.

Barbara Walters' Spy Cam at Jackson Memorial
During last night's "20/20" Michael Jackson special, Walters showcased footage shot by an ABC producer sitting next to her at the memorial. The video captures Katherine Jackson and Michael's kids two rows in front of Barbara watching the service -- despite the fact that tickets to the event clearly state "no camera/video/recording."

Calls to AEG (which threw the event) were not returned.

17. Barbara Walters is a desperate woman, doing whatever is necessary to appear relevant. She has allowed The View to become the female version of the Jerry Springer so that somebody will watch her show. You know she was upset that Diane Sawyer got to interview Obama and not her. She's a pathetic has been who refuses to believe. At least she could have retired with respect but she'd rather emulate National Enquirer reporters. Disgusting individual.

18. I thought the whole memorial service seemed more like a concert event. Is there any class left in society? All the yelling and flash photography took away from the respectfulness of the event.

24. That is the typical lame excuse given by many self-righteous people who have TOTAL disregard for the law and others.

29. I think this little stunt of the media hits another low.. I mean.. it is a funeral service and the family was kind enough to share with the public so that we could mourn also. But I guess ratings and getting the story first takes the bigger prize. It makes me sick to my stomach and I won't watch anything with BW anymore....

30. What could Walters have been thinking? Doesn't she realize that the Jacksons just
wanted a private service for Michael, and 25,000 of his closest friends?
Seriously, TMZ
get over yourselves. Your coverage of the Jackson death has been beyond tacky. But,
feel free to criticize others.
