This week you couldn't get away from Prince Phillip and hearing how "hard-working" he is. He gets chauffeur driven to visit all kinds of places and people. I call them days out. He was saying he won't miss trying to think of things to say to people he meets (now he's "winding down"). So that is basically what his "work" is. Please.

The pickings then got even slimmer. Oborne claimed Philip should be lauded because he has "never once caused... embarrassment".


:lol: Did Oborne write that with a straight face?

So he's included quotes said by the interviewees at different times? Not really seeing how that's such a massive deal.

To be honest I thought journalists did this all the time

Quote:
...he said that he inserted quotes into interviews he had conducted that were taken from the subject's writings and not from the original interview itself.

to pad an article.

It does seem a mountain out of a molehill...

It wasn't including quotes, that would be quite acceptable if they were attributed, it was adding 'colour' material to explicitly state that they were said as part of the interview when they weren't. At best that's dangerous (putting words into other people's mouths dishonestly) and at worst it's lying (if they didn't say anything like that during the interview).
As one commenter said, how would you trust the TV news if they suddenly included bits of old interviews and pretended they were from the one being currently conducted?

It was foolish and naive of him, in my opinion.

Yeah, I like him a lot but why do that? Why not say they are quotes and where they came from?

I wonder if this will mean his suspension will be increased after this damming revelation. He's been thoroughly discredited now.

Ironic, isn't it, that Littlejohn gets away with a far greater degree of 'inaccuracy' and is rewarded by his fellow journos with prizes. The PCC even says that no-one expects what he says to be true. Hari 'embellishes' his interviews (which actually happened, after all) and gets his throat torn out by the very same journos.

Did I say ironic? I meant sickeningly hypocritical.

Meanwhile Private Eye greeted Hari's apology by hopping up and down like a Footlights ponce and said Hari should retrain in exactly the same way as they didn't after being dangerously wrong about the MMR vaccine.

Editor Ian Hislop said Hari's lack of judgement was all too typical of the sort of young, untrained journalists who graduate from Oxbridge, have lunch with Peter Cook and then become editor of a magazine that is amusing to retired accountants and those who laugh loudly at Shakespeare 'comedies'.


Like a drain.
