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.



Did Oborne write that with a straight face?

The lad's been a bit of a tosser, hasn't he?

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


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.
