Thanks, Keith. Still a very pertinent point to our other discussion about relying on the press. Here we have a perfect example. You said one thing and was corrected, so you revised the post. That is exactly what happens when the media is pulled up by offcom. However, by that point in time the damage has been done. A revision or apology on in column 6, page 11, does not get noticed but satisfies the law. And people still believe that the article lists all the places where real persecution exists. They do not read the retraction.

BTW - Even your revision is a spin. Just because it does not list Europe or the Americas does not mean that persecution is not occurring there. They just want to draw your attention to the places they list for an agenda that we can only guess at. As I have said before, do not rely on the media for anything.

Cheers
