Rusty 575 Report post Posted February 1, 2020 Mr David Phillips (the complainant) must have a lot of spare time on his hands haha good on him. In the BSA's decision, there was no requirement for the show to broadcast an apology or even a statement on the BSA's findings.

Iraklis 2,203 Report post Posted February 2, 2020 BSA Decisions: Phillips and Racing Industry Transition Agency - 2019-044 (22 January 2020) 2019-044 The Authority has upheld a complaint that two episodes of The BoxSeat breached the accuracy and balance standards of the Pay TV Code of Broadcasting Standards. The Authority found that the segments about blood spinning in harnessracing covered a controversial issue of public importance but failed to include balancing views on the issue being discussed or indicate that the programmes were presented from a specific perspective. The Authority also found that, although the broadcasts did not contain any specific factual inaccuracies, the omission of alternative perspectives and information on the safety and propriety of blood spinning meant that the broadcast was misleading as a whole. The Authority did not uphold the complaint under the fairness standard. The Authority considered the publication of this decision sufficient to censure the breach of standards by the broadcaster and made no orders. Upheld: Balance, Accuracy. Not upheld: Fairness. No orders Cheers Iraklis PS. where was this reprimand? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione 77 Report post Posted February 2, 2020 The main difference is that a reprimand is "considered a slap on the wrist and can be given in private and even in a letter," while a censure is "a form of public shaming in which the politician must stand before his peers to listen to the censure resolution." I would say that the sentence The Authority considered the publication of this decision sufficient to censure the breach of standards by the broadcaster and made no orders. Covers this?

Iraklis 2,203 Report post Posted February 2, 2020 Ahh Hermione, I didn't ask what the difference was, I just asked where the reprimand was? I do understand what 'censure' is kinda splittin hairs here though.....balance and fairness, just sayin.....storm in a teacup Cheers Iraklis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
