hear hear - smart idea. i notice this on local news all the time. it's so
tightly edited and when they have a clip of someone it's ONLY A RESPONSE -
you
have no idea what question was even asked.

someone could say "i was scared to death and almost pooped my pants"

well they could insert that comment in any story from a roller coaster to a
home burglar.

I have emailed AOPA, suggesting that they help Mr. Trissel sue CBS for
slaneder and defamation of character. It would certainly be nice to hang
a few of our most dishonest critics out to dry.

CBS indeed behaved despicably, but how did they slander or defame Mr.
Trissel?

Certainly -- by qouting him deliberately out of context, in order to
chang the meaning of his statements in a public arena.

It would be interesting to see a "deep pockets" tort lawyer get hold of
this one.

Don't know about slander or defamation .. but their deliberate inaccuracy
of what he said certainly held him up to ridicule and attack in his
profession,
which would have been a forseeable result given the highly charged topic
they were presenting. The only answer of course is to NEVER allow what
you say to be used .. unless you have final say over what is presented.

The internet?

I quit talking to media 35 years ago after a major city newspaper had it
sounding like I held a position exactly the opposite of the one I actually
did. Every quote was correct but they were edited and juxtaposed to other
text to completely contradict what I actually said. TV is even worse due to
the briefness of the pieces and the lack of journalistic ethics of too many
of the practitioners.

I feel for him. I have been burned this way myself more than once. I thought
the behavior was exceptional until the "Wall Street Journal" ran a series of
interviews of people ambushed by the likes of Mike Wallace and Dan Rather.
Never talk to news reporters like this. They simply cannot be trusted. They
probably did not even tell Trissel that they were from CBS.

Didn't they get written permission from you to broadcast the interview?

Instead of getting burned "more than once", perhaps inform them next time in
writing they are to not use your image nor statements unless you
specifically approve the entire article exactly as it will be aired.

At which point they will laugh and go find someone else. None of them are
going to give you approval authority.
