 MY COMPLAINT TO THE BBC (sent 20 Jan, aprox midnight)


 
Your article on the BBC homepage: "Teens taunting Native American sparks outcry" is objectively incorrect, especially that headline. It is clear that BBC journalists did not properly research the available material. Instead a subjective and uninformed opinion dictated an assumption of what occured. The video you have linked to in your article is edited in a manner as to be deceptive, but regardless shows no evidence of any harrasment or taunting towards the man.
