The BBC creating news to fit their agenda (part 2)

I blogged a few weeks back about how the BBC cut and spliced the tape (of Barack Obama's inauguration speech) so that half a sentence from paragraph 16 of the inauguration speech was joined on to half a sentence from paragraph 22, and this apparently continuous sound bite was completed by returning to paragraph 16 again to lift another complete sentence. Take a look at my original post for the full details.

Now it looks as though the BBC have "been at it again", this time it was in their coverage of the strikes at the Total oil refinery at Lindsey. Harry's Place reports that: "The 10 o’clock bulletin gave us a good example. A voiceover by the BBC’s political editor, Nick Robinson, (about 12 mins in) told us: “Beneath the anger, ministers fear, lies straightforward xenophobia.” Cut to woolly-hatted worker telling BBC reporter: “These Portugese and Eyeties – we can’t work alongside of them.” There we are: northern white bloke refusing to work with foreigners. Case closed.

Except, watch Paul Mason’s report on Newsnight, featuring the same interview (about 4:30 in):

"These Portugese and eyeties – we can’t work alongside of them: we’re segregated from them. They’re coming in in full companies."

Cynical cutting of the quote so as to change the meaning by 100%. Might the man interviewed have a case in law against the BBC?
