Exposing the hypocrisy of journalists

[waspish]

Got to say I’m conflicted after watching it. Andy also seemed pretty genuine and fronted up. According to him, Rabin didn’t have an issue and didn’t ask for it to be deleted.

Andy’s reasoning for recording it (to send to Ray) also seems reasonable but I also understand Rabin’s fears.

Seems like crossed wires and we can suspend the BM witch-hunt for now.

Yeah cross wires it seems and never one for a witch hunt I like to know the facts before that! Its the way social media is going too or is there now!

I'm up to 16 mins,he is protesting too much for me but i'll stick with it

Still think he should have told him at the start

Absolutely. Not telling him was a ****'s trick. I think people who have these Youtube channels etc are obviously quite open people so they sometimes struggle to realise how important privacy is for others. But still, I'm sure he can be forgiven.

I only watched as far as "it was me". I'll watch the rest later but is that the person that has threatened to release the video?

One would imagine he’s said something along the lines of “what you’ve said in the tweets about out call isn’t accurate and I’ve got the video to prove it, I can post it for verification if you want” (or similar). He also says he’s sent Rabin a copy of it so that Rabin can check the timeline and transcript. He says on several dozen times that he would never post it without Rabins consent.

The best thing about this is that Rabin’s surely now sure that Andy won’t post it after all the who-ha. So he can chill out now and not worry.

Watch the video and he explains it. His (business) partner wasn’t there and he wanted to send it to him.

I watched it, and said already a poor excuse imho, knew before rabin was tetchy about being recorded, business partner or not, should have not bothered.

Could relay the information verbally later like people have done for centuries

Have you watched it?

Yep.

Doesn’t explain why Rabin is getting threatening messages about releasing the footage.

He’s clearly trying to take advantage of the situation in order to monitise it for his channel.

He’s partly trying to make himself out to be a victim when Rabin hasn’t once named him and truth is, he’s put Rabin at risk by recording.

He knows full well some of the details can’t be backed up without releasing the footage.

Only one thing for it now. Need to call in AC12

"For god's sake fella. What were you thinking of speaking to Man City Fan TV?"

To be fair, if what he says is correct and it was me, I’d protest a fair amount as well.

I’m happy to believe it’s crossed wires and not hang anyone out to dry.

Cheers. I'll watch it all later but it starting to seem like a lot of nothing.

The channel isn’t monetised from what I can see. No ads or sponsors.
