Re: Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." Archived Message Posted by mike on November 7, 2019, 10:22 pm, in reply to "Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice."" This was the interview I did with Loucet en route to Aleppo last year. She called bs on my claim that bbc uses the phrase ‘Syrian regime’ rather than Syrian government. My friend was listening to radio 4 in uk when interview was broadcast and told me the very next news item the presenter said ‘Syrian regime’. Can you imagine Doucet ever saying US regime or regime in Riyadh? Ali and I had a big argument with her and bbc producer at the luggage carousel at Heathrow airport on the way back. I argued that that nothing in the interview should have given her the impression that I was an Assad supporter which is how she described me in her closing remarks. Eventually she conceded and offered to tweet an apology. I said ‘what to you 200 thousand followers or to the millions of radio 4 listeners?’ Conversation ended abruptly Message Thread: ML Alert: Unfree Media – State Stenography And Shameful Silence - brooks November 7, 2019, 4:41 pm Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." - Morrissey November 7, 2019, 5:45 pm Re: Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." - brooks November 7, 2019, 6:57 pm Re: Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." - mike November 7, 2019, 10:22 pm Since I have so little sight of these mediaw hores I hadn't realised she has a NAmerican accent - - Rhisiart Gwilym November 7, 2019, 11:39 pm Re: Since I have so little sight of these mediaw hores I hadn't realised she has a NAmerican accent - - Mary November 8, 2019, 7:17 am Re: Lyse Doucet: "I am there for those without a voice." - brooks November 7, 2019, 11:55 pm Brilliant, Mike. - Morrissey November 9, 2019, 1:42 am   Searching
