Dear M...The even more ludicrous response sent to me<br />Dear Mrs Wolfe MBE<br /><br />Reference CAS-3667479-34252R<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to contact us.<br /><br />I was sorry to read you were unhappy with the BBC News article 'Israeli woman stabbed to death in Otniel settlement house'. I understand you objected to the article's reference to a settlement house.<br /><br />The term 'settlement house' was used as the woman's (Dafna Meir) home was in the Jewsih settlement of Otniel in the West Bank. This was factually accurate and provided context to the reader; highlighting the home was in an area where the surrounding population was mainly that of Palestinians.<br /><br />BBC News makes no distinction between the value of Israeli or Palestinian lives, and strives to report what are often highly emotive stories about the conflict in a neutral way. We believe we have reported on the recent violence in an accurate and impartial manner.<br /><br />That said, we do value your feedback. All complaints are sent to senior management and in this case, the BBC News team every morning and I included your points in this overnight report. These reports are among the most widely read sources of feedback in the BBC and ensures that your concerns have been seen by the right people quickly. This helps inform their decisions about current and future programmers and services.<br /><br />Once again, many thanks for contacting us.<br /><br />Kind regards<br /><br />Brian Irvine<br /><br />BBC Complaints<br /><br />www.bbc.co.uk/complaints<br /><br />Do they seriously believe that using the term "Settlement house" conveys the message to the average reader or listener that the house is in an area mainly occupoed by Palestinians!!! And in any event does it seek to suggest that it is the woman's fault for living where she does and excuses her brutal murderJoywolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00712557588005259225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15072098.post-25140042240523514902016-01-30T22:00:36.467+00:002016-01-30T22:00:36.467+00:00Wow, what a quick reply.
About 3 years ago I made...Wow, what a quick reply.<br /><br />About 3 years ago I made a complaint to our ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)about online content.<br /><br />It took around 3 months to receive a reply. Then it had to go to some complaints tribunal or other.<br /><br />It took forever to hear back from them, indeed I had totally forgotten about it.<br /><br />Oh yes, the content had been removed..............but a bit far down the track though, don't you think?Shirl in Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145644692590907775noreply@blogger.com
