@williamcrawley The argument that weaker libel laws protect journalism assumes journalists will use the freedom well. Recent years haven’t exactly made that case. The cure for bad journalism isn’t less accountability. It’s better journalism
@sambostock@jonnymckane Sam, this is gold — and timely. I’ve been working on a book project exploring exactly this territory. The instinct that drove me to it was noticing that in the NT, leadership terminology is almost always negative — referring to rulers, synagogue officials or demonic powers
@sambostock@jonnymckane while Jesus gives his community a completely different vocabulary: servant, slave, shepherd, steward. Would love to know what conclusions the author draws. Who is this from?
@campbellclaret To call what the BBC did a silly mistake is so misleading. To edit a speech to fit a narrative and so misrepresent what was said (no matter what the person is like) is not what a reputable institution does. This is doing irreparable damage to BBC.
@williamcrawley I struggle to understand how it was a “mistake” to deliberately splice a recording of what someone said in order to give the impression that they said something else. The way in which the BBC is presenting this is doing even more reputational damage.
