Michael Jackson is fuming about his televised documentary, saying–through lawyers, of course–that he feels “betrayed.”

The 44-year-old contends that “Living With Michael Jackson,” televised on ABC’s “20/20” Thursday night, was edited to make him look like a perverse, child-molesting weirdo. He filed a complaint with British media watchdogs.

RedEye is sure the following was taken out of context:

– “Why not share your bed?” he asked while holding a teenage boy’s hand. “The most loving thing is to share your bed.”

– Jackson nicknamed his second son, Prince Michael II, “Blanket.” He explained, “It’s an expression I use with my family and my employees. . . . A blanket is a blessing.”

– Jackson said he likes to buy jewelry for his mother, Liz Taylor and “if there’s a girl I like at the moment.” Asked if there was such a girl, he answered, “I haven’t found one yet.”
