The irreplaceable, late great Richard Webster.
From the mid-1990s until his untimely death in June 2011, Richard exposed the False Allegations industry. And the routine bent-mainstream media dishonesty, in censorship by omission. 'What they don't want known, they just leave out.'
" What The BBC Did Not Tell Us.
ON MONDAY 25 January 1999, immediately after Newsnight, BBC2 broadcast a documentary, 'A Place of Safety', about sexual and physical abuse in children’s homes in North Wales. Many who saw it found it one of the most harrowing programmes about abuse they had ever watched.
By far the most disturbing feature of the programme, however, was that the journalists who worked on it failed utterly to discharge the most basic duty of all journalists - the duty to investigate.
At least five of the first seven witnesses who appeared had in the past made serious allegations of abuse that were demonstrably false. In some cases they had tried to uphold their allegations even when the details of their complaints had been shown to be impossible.
The real question raised by the programme is not whether every detail of the complaints made in it was true or false. It is whether the witnesses it featured should have been relied on by responsible journalists. "
