BuzzFeed, your update to this article is disgusting. “Moore confirmed he exaggerated.” That is not a neutrally worded sentence at all. It would have been safer to have simply said he revised his estimate of the time - instead, you are deliberately using loaded language designed to discredit Moore. This is in addition to use usage of the terms “big fuss” and “gallant rescue” in the previous related original article, which you seem to have edited out without properly acknowledging that you have done so. This is not journalism. I was initially going to put it down to a rookie mistake, but this (not properly acknowledging “corrections” and continuing to use loaded terms”) has become inexcusable. I trust this will not be the last time we hear of shoddy reporting from your outlet or indeed this reporter.

Woaahhhh…. Where did my comments on the non-neutral language of the original article go? Not deleted, I hope!

I think you should say in your correction that you also edited out the terms “big fuss” and “gallant rescue”. By removing it and not noting that you did, you’re removing some of the context for the controversy this report generated.

A handwritten log sounds pretty dodgy ! I do wish the evidence was more irrefutable since what they are essentially doing is calling Moore and Burnat liars. Btw, much prefer this style of reporting to yesterday’s.

BuzzFeed did not report the claims neutrally. “Big fuss” and “gallant rescue” - they were putting Moore on the defence.

This article did not use neutral language in describing the TSA source’s version of events. “Big fuss” and “gallant rescue.” BuzzFeed totally took sides in this report, and did not just accurately report what their source had to say. If I were Michael Moore, I’d be angry too.
