Fraudulent PR campaign blows up in M'sia's face
(Free Malaysia Today) - British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has suspended all programming from the London-based FBC Media after it was 'confirmed' that the TV production company had received payment to produce and air, as genuine content, at least four documentaries on Malaysia's palm oil industry and its 'treatment of the rainforest and indigenous people'. BBC in a statement to UK's prestigious daily The Independent yesterday said that "FBC has now admitted to the BBC that it has worked for the Malaysian government". "That information was not disclosed to the BBC as we believe it should have been when the BBC contracted programming from FBC. "Given this, the BBC has decided to transmit no more programming from FBC while it reviews its relationship with the company." ***************************************************  The BBC researches many different stories, it is the normal process of news and current affairs throughout the media that not all make it to air for a variety of editorial reasons. In this case, it became clear in our research that any comprehensive interview with former Malaysia Today Editor Raja Petra Kamarudin would prominently feature issues that are currently the subject of a current court case in Malaysia, which raise issues of defamation.The suggestion that the item was dropped due to political pressure is untrue. All BBC programmes adhere to the same strict editorial guidelines which ensure complete editorial independence and impartiality.
