Honest Reporting/Backspin
22 December 09
Harry's Place slams the BBC for being bullied into changing this story.
You wouldn't know from reading it now, but the anti-Semitic atmosphere was worse than the Beeb would now have you believe.Jonathan Hoffman blogged the BBC's explanation. I added the video link for background.
After publication it quickly became clear that there was more to what had happened in the meeting than was apparent from the video and Mr Hoffman’s allegations. As soon as that became clear the story was amended to reflect the differing views of those who had been at the meeting.
It is regrettable that the original story did not reflect a wider range of views and the journalist concerned has been made well aware of the requirement to do so in the future.
Do you think Peter Oborne -- who accused HonestReporting of bullying the BBC -- will investigate this?
