When editing completely changes the meaning conveyed it does not add either brevity or clarity…which is what the BBC did, changed the meaning.When editing completely changes the meaning conveyed it does not add either brevity or clarity.
Your Smart Ar*e attempt at humour therefore obviously fails. To any objective examination.
Whether what the BBC did is found to be valid must await examination by the appropriate authorities. Which won’t, of course, stop those who see everything they do negatively immediately deciding the answer.
And so that you understand that I have fond memories of the BBC, I was in LA when the Chinese students protested in Beijing and didn’t believe that ABC were actually reporting what was happening as it wasn’t the BBC that I was watching.
But in my opinion there is no defence against what the Panorama programme produced; it was a deliberate attempt to influence the public with false reporting. It’s impartiality is seriously compromised.
