I think that was more where they place a seemingly related story (which they like) next to another (which doesn't support their PC ideology), even though the relationship is very tangential (or gives a "false echo"). <br /><br />I think the Bogus Apology or Guilt Deflecting Apology might be another bias technique!

I forget what it's called. It's about bringing in some unrelated past fact or piece of information in order to cast someone in a bad light. In this case I'd call it The Smear is In. All too typical of the nasty stirring that the BBC loves to indulge in. <br /><br />That reminds me: has Maitlis apologised yet for the misrepresentation or lie she broadcast about an Australian cartoon of the tennis player Naomi Osaka? Going back a bit I know. Just shows the BBC aren't the only ones who can go back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3272054900018746845.post-79012865026972007982019-02-17T12:28:16.111+00:002019-02-17T12:28:16.111+00:00The BBC has truly perfected the art of the non-apo...The BBC has truly perfected the art of the non-apologetic guilt-deflecting apology. They probably ahve a whole department under a Head of Non-Apologies and Denials dedicated to the task.<br /><br />Let's hope Stephen Wolfe complains about the apology, implicating him as having contributed to the misinformation. It was Maitlis and her poor command of grammar and syntax.
