Why Were We Lied to By the BBC ?

[G-Unit]

Following on from the opening post ...

We really do require some verifiable facts and appropriate cites.  Without back up, I'm afraid GO'D's opinion just doesn't cut the mustard.

Where is the proof we were "lied to by the BBC"?  Where can I have sight of the BBC "apology"?  Because in my opinion if there ain't one capable of being subject to a cite, claims that we have been lied to are libellous.

Don't investigative journalists carry recording facilities around with them?  I can assure you that any resemblance between my mobile and an iphone would only be in my dreams ... but it does audio and video recordings and it does both quite well.
Any reason why we can't hear the one the investigative journalist made of Mr Smith?  Sure now if Mr Smith doesn't mind someone putting words into his mouth he would hardly object to broadcast to the world in person, so to speak.

Until Ms O'Doherty can prove her allegations ... all they remain are unsubstantiated allegations and as such are not worth the bandwith which has been wasted on them.

There is a copy of the original Panorama programme on You Tube. In it Richard Bilton says 'the Smiths themselves now believe they saw someone else'

That statement has been cut from the BBC iplayer version, as Gemma O'Doherty reported.

That's what I was looking for.

Good stuff, thanks.

Watched the whole thing now.

Nowhere can I find any claim that Mr Smith ever changed his mind.

Readers are invited to watch the programme & correct me if I'm wrong.

Sorry, I was working on my post when you posted this. Great minds think alike; go and examine the evidence.

He must have, since he knew he wasn't wearing glasses or had a beard.

No you can tell this from the side, you don't have to see the full face to see "he wasn't wearing glasses or had a beard".

From the side of what.....?

(ETA....The answer was face. You can tell from the side of his face)

Won't really matter. When Smithman is arrested it will be because of additional evidence.

More like if.

I just can't see it happening myself.

Ms O'Doherty has failed to point out in her article that the child the Smith family saw was wearing long-sleeved pyjamas.
 Madeleine was wearing short-sleeved, cropped-leg pyjamas according to the information given to the PJ by the McCanns.
 It would be fascinating to understand how detailed research has led her to believe the Smith family sighting, in its original form, is so important that it should not be misrepresented by the BBC.

[Robittybob1]

Indeed.
It only proves again that you can please some of the people some of the time ...........etc
As  G'OD is about to find out!

Your apostrophe was in the wrong place.

Only one of the family members mentioned those long sleeves.

The BBC opted to represent that particular version of night attire during Crimewatch, which I find interesting, given as the Met would be quite aware which pyjamas the McCanns claimed, that Maddie was wearing.

Welcome to the UK justice forum.

So you believe she is telling the truth? So why do you want her to prove it?

You have posted misinformation http://miscarriageofjustice.co/index.php?topic=9114.msg444957#msg444957.

Please amend your post ... or are you able to prove it by providing a cite?

Side view of head.
