"...manically rocking a baby on his knee while bottle feeding it ..."
Having finally watched this over the weekend, that one was completely misreported. Jackson was handling the kid pretty normally to begin with, trying to get the bottle to the mouth and moving the veil out the way at the same time (feeding without a veil has enough problems at times), and then Bashir lunges and attempts to drag the veil up, catching the kids nose...kid gets rather upset by this...Jackson gets twitchy.
I contend that it was Bashir's fault, the stupid idiot. It looked to me like he wanted to actually get the veil off...would have added to the value of the film, that's for sure.
...as for the rest...yes, the guy's got problems...but I really don't think kiddie fiddling is one of them.
The whole program was a case of the poorest tabloid journalism. Bashir knew what he wanted and proceeded to cut the film, and insert the commentary, to give him his "scoop".
