Article in December/January Issue of Cycle

[Simon L6]

If there was supposed to be balance in the article in 'Cycle', can comeone explain why people are referred to the CTC web-site for further information - but not to the Save the CTC web-site (or any other web-site)?

Is that a balanced approach to take?

is that a rhetorical question?

How dare you sir! Are you suggesting I would engage in rhetoric?

I agree that the prize draw does make me uneasy about the whole process.

And, although the coverage this time was less biased than prior to the AGM, the very partisan editing of Jeff's comments, and the sometimes bizarre correspondence which Dan has kindly published for us, show a sadly skewed approach.

Dan's approach is neither bizarre nor skewed

This is what struck me particularly as bizarre:

Journalists in this country don't use pre-set questions. We're not
living in totalitarian state. I am accommodating you by giving you
the
opportunity to support your petition.

It is quite normal for an interviewee to be given a list of questions to be asked, especially on such an important issue. Paxman and Humphrys aside, it's just good manners to let someone prepare full and informative answers.

The skewing comes in the way the bullet points were edited. Jeff conceded that edits could be made, but makes it clear which ones he feels are most important. That is not how the edited version came out, and some important points were thus not communicated to members.
