大象传媒

Quite right to apologise.

Hardly any of us believe a word that politicians say.
When will politicians apologise to us for making it so.

"he had indicated to the 大象传媒 before meeting Steve Hilton - and having heard the chancellor's speech - that he welcomed George Osborne's policy announcements."

And where is the evidence that Tyrie had indicated this beforehand? All other self-respecting news organisations that sought to reassure the public of their integrity would provide it. Until the 大象传媒 does so, I can only believe that the 大象传媒 has been leant on by someone in government. Very poor show all round.

How can a person become a bloger or editor?

Having being taken into a side room for a friendly chat he would say he was now satisfied having heard the chancellors speech ,was that after they had a friendly chat explaining the chancellors the speech.
That,s what friendly chats are for.

Gavin,

I am glad that the 大象传媒 has made the apology for mistakes and using less than good standards of reporting.....

If a picture paints a thousand words then there's no smoke without fire.

Dear Gavin Allen, Editor, 大象传媒 Political News,

what a beautifully measured 大象传媒 apology.
I thought it really hit the spot,
and it was suitably responded to in such diplomatic terms by the Tory MP.

Such 'old world charm'.

Then I read the rest of your piece (above).
You really are some piece of work, aren't you.

I should like to rescind my comment at #7 & #10, my assessment was in error. A closer reading leads me to believe that the 大象传媒's Editor's response was in order and the apology was honestly given.

'Our reports gave a misleading impression...'

Control of the edit suite can prove corrupting.

Here with 'creation', but also when it is via omission.

And with near 50% of the thread so far removed, that also gives cause for concern as to the trust and value to be placed in online offerings too.

When I saw the apology on Newswatch, I thought it was meant ironically.

I do sometimes wonder to what extent the 大象传媒 has become the mouthpiece of the present government. Since the Tories came to power, anybody who does not share their views has become a laughing stock (and is treated as such by interviewers). Has nobody else noticed this? The only interviewer who asked critical questions of all party members has disappeared (Laura Kuenssberger - sorry about the spelling). Can't she come back?

I do sometimes wonder to what extent the 大象传媒 has become the mouthpiece of the present government.

Making up totally inaccurate, spin-based stories seems an odd way to meet that description.

'The 大象传媒 regrets that the footage was not shown in its proper context which happened as a result of it being broadcast and commented upon swiftly and before some extra editorial checks could be made.'

But well worth a wonder. Maybe worth a few on the state of so-called professional standards at an entity that claims most trusted status in speaking for us all?

Good job. I really hope he does accept your apology but sometimes these things happen. The situation has been corrected as far as i see it.
