Bad Reporting

I’m paraphrasing this but you can see the original on the Sky website. Sky’s David Bowden: this lady has agreed to tell her story in her own words...she doesn’t speak any English and I don’t speak any Chinese so we are going to talk through an interpreter..

Interpreter ... she really really wants to thank the government and the lovely soldiers...

Bowden..is she worried there will be another big earthquake and she will be in danger?..

Interpreter: she says that even if there is another big earthquake she is not worried because she thinks the government and the party leaders are able to handle the situation.

Bowden: so there you have it, in her own words..

So.. let’s see if we can guess where they hired the interpreter? How any reporter could fall for this I really don’t know.
